The Baylor Bears are outscoring opponents by a 319-49 margin in the first half this season<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Texas Tech faces its most difficult test of the 2013 season, as it looks to snap a three-game losing streak, which includes a 49-26 defeat to the Kansas State Wildcats as 2.5-point home favorites last Saturday.\u00a0 The Red Raiders hold a 36-34-1 SU advantage in this series, including a 15-2 mark when meeting as Big 12 Conference opponents, which is important to consider when making your college football predictions in Week 12.\u00a0 Offensively, the team has scored 20 or more points in 25 consecutive games dating back to the 2011 campaign.\u00a0 Texas Tech is 4-11 SU and 6-9 ATS as an underdog the last two-plus seasons, with the OVER going 11-4 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Red Raiders aren\u2019t sure who will be under center in this affair, but it\u2019ll likely be Baker Mayfield, who was 34 for 44 for 276 yards and two interceptions in last week\u2019s loss as a replacement.\u00a0 Texas Tech\u2019s top two signal-callers have combined to thrown 24 touchdowns and 16 interceptions.\u00a0 \u201cThey\u2019re young,\u201d commented Red Raiders head coach Kliff Kingsbury.\u00a0 \u201cYou have to grow with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baylor has not lost in more than a calendar year and owns a school-record 12-game winning streak, which includes the first-ever 8-0 start for the program.\u00a0 The Bears have outscored opponents by a 319-49 margin in the first half this season, which can\u2019t be ignored when looking over the college football odds page.\u00a0 Offensively, the team leads the country in averaging 686.0 yards per game, which has led to scoring 61 points a contest.\u00a0 Baylor is 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS as favorites of 21.5 to 31 points the last two-plus seasons, with the OVER going 4-1-1 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Bears are ninth in the country and first in the Big 12 in averaging 295.4 rushing yards per game, with Lache Seastrunk leading the way.\u00a0 Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty makes the offensive unit balanced, entering with a pass efficiency rating of 210.6, which leads the country.\u00a0 His main target is junior wide receiver Antwan Goodley, who is first in the conference in averaging 121.1 receiving yards.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Bears due to the Red Raiders being 1-9 SUATS in November the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n
