Florida International at Texas Tech

I think this game is a mismatch of opinions and views of these teams. Texas Tech has mostly been a middle-of-the-road Big-12 team. Texas Tech manhandled a pretty decent Houston team as an underdog. Florida International played competitive vs Texas State. as a 2-point home favorite but lost. This game opened at -21.5 but has been bought down by FIU backers, or more like Texas Tech doubters, to -20 at the time of this writing. Tech didn't show up last week as a 31.5-point favorite vs SF Austin where they were outplayed and survived due to Austin turning the ball over four times. I'm sure that serves as a wake-up call for the Red Raiders and they won't sleepwalk through this one. Lost in that game is the fact that Texas Tech averaged 7.3 yards per play to Austin's 4.3. Make the play on Texas Tech.
