The 4-1 Texas Tech Red Raiders travel west on Saturday to take on the 4-1 Arizona Wildcats. Texas Tech and quarterback Behren Morton bring their highly potent offense into the desert to face the Wildcats team fresh off a nice win against 18th 18th-ranked Utah Utes. Last week the Red Raiders defeated Cincinnati in a shootout 44-41. We like this game from the total angle so we will handicap it from that perspective.

Key Stats
Texas Tech Red Raiders
Texas Tech is 4-1 SU on the season and averaging 41.6 points per game. Their offense is ranked 12th in the country and second in the Big 12 averaging 486.4 yards per game. The Red Raiders passing offense is also among the nation’s best ranking 4th in the Big 12 and 15th in the country.
On the flip side, the Red Raiders are giving up 34.4 per game and ranked second worst in the Big 12 which helps our cause as we handicap the game from a total standpoint. Texas Tech games have cashed the over in three of five games this season and the over is 3-2 in the last five and 6-4 in the last ten. The average total score in the Red Raiders games is 76 points per game and their number of plays per game is sixth best in the NCAA this season.
Arizona Wildcats
Arizona is also 4-1 SU on the season and averaging 28.25 points per game. The Wildcats are very competent offensively ranked top seven overall in the Big 12 and top six in passing offense. Arizona averages 265 passing yards per game and an excellent 7.14 yards per play, which ranked 20th in the country. That yards-per-play number the 6.40 from the potent Texas Tech offense.
Arizona’s over-under trends are not great in our favor but their competent offense paired with a below-average Texas Tech defense we feel will offset that.
Prediction
We like the over 64 in the Texas Tech Red Raiders game versus the Arizona Wildcats. The rule of three system fits here as Arizona has played to the under in three straight games. We also find some sharp money on the over as well, 85% of the total bets are on the under, yet the number rose from an opening 62.5 to the current 64. Texas Tech gives up 34.4 points per game and the over is profitable 3-2 this season. These two teams match up nicely from a probable points scored perspective and should both reach their implied total and cash the over for in week six.
Final Pick: Texas Tech/Arizona over 64
