The Jayhawks due lead the Big 12 Conference and rank 28th nationally in fumble recoveries, which is important to consider when making your Week 8 college football betting picks, with six different players contributing to that statistic.\u00a0 Kansas junior running back De\u2019Andre Mann leads the charge offensively, as he paces the conference in averaging 5.27 yards per carry, which has resulted in 332 yards through six games.<\/p>\n

Texas Tech has fallen in defeat in its last four contests, including a disappointing 37-34 setback to the West Virginia Mountaineers as six-point home underdogs last Saturday, while going UNDER the betting total for a second consecutive affair.\u00a0 The Red Raiders are 14-1 SU all-time against the Jayhawks\u2014winning the last seven meetings in this series dating back to the 2004 campaign.\u00a0 Texas Tech is 2-0 SU and 0-2 ATS versus teams with a losing record over the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Red Raiders have allowed just five sacks in six games this season, but they\u2019ve still lost the turnover battle in 13 of their last 14 affairs.\u00a0 Texas Tech quarterback Davis Webb needs just 19 passing yards to break into the top 10 in school history for career yards, while he\u2019s thrown at least one touchdown in the first 16 games played since arriving in Lubbock.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Red Raiders due to the favorite covering the number in four of the last five games in this rivalry.<\/p>\n
