BYU and TTU Key Matchups and Handicap

Texas Tech earned a dominant 29-7 win over BYU on November 8, jumping out to a 26-0 lead and holding the Cougars out of the end zone until halfway through the fourth quarter. The Red Raiders’ defense was excellent in that game, allowing only 17 first downs and 4.9 yards per play while forcing BYU’s freshman quarterback Bear Bachmeier into 188 passing yards with an interception. Star tailback LJ Martin was held to just 35 rushing yards on 3.5 yards per carry.

Since that game, Texas Tech has arguably become even stronger. Their only loss this season came without starting quarterback Behren Morton, and since his return the Red Raiders have covered five-straight point spreads while outscoring opponents by an average of 35.0 points per game. During that same stretch, their defense has been elite, surrendering only 7.2 points per game and ranking top-10 nationally in EPA per play, success rate, passing defense, and rushing defense metrics.

BYU, meanwhile, enters at 6-1 straight-up and against the number over their last seven games, with their lone loss in that span coming against Texas Tech in the earlier meeting. The Cougars out-gained the Red Raiders 579-451 in that game and held a massive 32-18 edge in first downs, but four interceptions from quarterbacks Amari Odom and Dexter Williams II doomed their upset bid.

Kennesaw’s double-overtime win over Liberty last week and BYU’s own walk-off field goal victory over Western Kentucky show that both teams can thrive in pressure moments, but Texas Tech’s advantages in consistency, defensive dominance, and quarterback play all remain clear.

  • TTU is 5-0 ATS in its last five games.
  • BYU is 6-1 ATS in its last seven games.
  • Six of TTU’s last eight games have gone over the total.
  • Texas Tech won the first meeting 29-7.

BYU and TTU Key Injuries and Notes

  • BYU: No major new injuries reported; coaching noise surrounding Kalani Sitake may be a storyline.
  • Texas Tech: Fully healthy with starting QB Behren Morton continuing to elevate the offense.

ATS and Total Picks

  • Spread: Texas Tech -13
  • Total: Under 50

Final Score Prediction

Texas Tech 27, BYU 10
