Texas Tech QB Seth Doege leads the nation with 30 touchdown passes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Texas has won two games in a row after suffering through a two-game losing streak, as it comes off a 21-17 victory over the Kansas Jayhawks as 18-point road favorites, while going UNDER the total for the first time in six weeks.\u00a0 The Longhorns have won 11 of the last 13 matchups against the Red Raiders, while they own a 46-15 lead in the all-time series.\u00a0 Head coach Mack Brown has compiled an 11-3 mark in this Big 12 Conference rivalry, but all three losses have come in Lubbock.\u00a0 Texas is 2-8 ATS as an underdog the last two-plus years.<\/p>\n

The Longhorns have won their last four road games, including all three this season.\u00a0 Texas has lost nine consecutive games against ranked opponents, dropping those contests by an average of 17.2 points per game.\u00a0 Defensively, the team has done little to stop opponents from running the football, allowing a league-worst 218.0 rushing yards per game.\u00a0 It\u2019s still important to note that four of its last six games have come against offenses that rank among the top 10 nationally in either scoring or total defense.<\/p>\n

Texas Tech is focused on trying to avoid its fourth straight loss in this series, as the winner walks away with the Chancellor\u2019s Spurs.\u00a0 \u201cIt will be a huge game for us,\u201d commented Red Raiders quarterback Seth Doege.\u00a0 Saturday will mark the first time since 2008 that both teams enter the contest ranked in the Top 25.\u00a0 The Red Raiders will be meeting a ranked opponent for the fifth consecutive week.\u00a0 Texas Tech is 11-2 ATS as a home favorite of 3.5 to 7 points, with the OVER going 6-4 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Red Raiders are one of just two teams nationally that rank in the top 15 in both total offense and total defense.\u00a0 Doege enters this game ranked fifth on the school\u2019s all-time list with 6,971 passing yards, while sits first nationally with 30 touchdown passes this season.\u00a0 Wide receivers Darrin Moore and Eric Stephens are his main targets, combining for 94 receptions.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Red Raiders due to their 6-2 ATS mark in their last eight games, while the Longhorns are 0-4 ATS in conference action.<\/p>\n
