2 Things to Know When Betting Texas Tech vs Iowa State
1. Texas Tech Is Looking to Bounce Back From Blowing a 31-14 Lead Against TCU
Texas Tech is looking to bounce back after blowing a 31-14 lead to TCU. After going on a four-game winning streak, Texas Tech is looking to bounce back from a two-game losing skid.
“I want to tell y’all, and you can believe me or not believe me, there’s no person that wants to win more for this fan base than me,” Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire said, per college football news outlets. “It bothers me that people are upset, it bothers me. Not that they’re upset with me, again, say whatever you want.
“It bothers me because we couldn’t take care of business on Saturday, that this is how people feel that are Red Raiders. It bothers me, so if you don’t think it does or whatever it is. Trust me, it does, and I’m going to get it fixed.”

Don’t worry, Texas Tech was still a great college football pick against the spread.
2. Can Iowa State Make the College Football Playoff?
Iowa State remains perfect but there remains skepticism about the Cyclones. Heather Dinich projects the Cyclones will miss the College Football Playoff.
The analyst predicts it will be BYU (the only other undefeated Big 12 team) making the postseason as the lone Big 12 team. Something tells me Heather is not getting invited to many Halloween parties in Ames.

“Iowa State is No. 86 this week in ESPN’s strength of schedule, while BYU is No. 55. BYU currently leads with a 33.1% chance to win the Big 12, followed very closely by Iowa State (31.8%), according to ESPN Analytics,” Dinich noted.

Best Texas Tech vs Iowa State Pick: Red Raiders Cover ATS in Ames
Everything about how these teams enter this matchup shouts that Iowa State should cruise to victory. This is exactly why I am picking the Red Raiders to cover ATS when you bet online.
There is a pressure that accompanies being undefeated, and we saw this in Iowa State’s last outing versus UCF. The Cyclones nearly lost before a late touchdown with 30 seconds remaining notched a 38-35 comeback win against the Knights.
The Big 12 has been about as wild as a Borat sketch this season. Everyone is ready to fade Texas Tech which has me thinking the Red Raiders will give Iowa State a scare.
Look for Iowa State to pull out the win, but Texas Tech covers ATS in the NCAA football odds.
Bet This Pick: Texas Tech +13.5 vs Iowa State
