From the booth
The model favored TTU to win, and the call landed.
Texas Tech's sitting pretty at 99 percent to win this one, and honestly, it's not even close. The Red Raiders are ranked number 12 in the country facing an unranked Abilene Christian squad, and they're favored by over four touchdowns at home. Vegas and the betting markets have already spoken, and the Elo ratings back it up, so unless something really unexpected happens, this is Texas Tech's game to lose.
