Baylor Bears vs. Texas Tech Red Raiders Key Stats

The Baylor Bears won their last meeting with the Red Raiders, but Baylor was a much different all-around team last season. Baylor will have to deal with a wild crowd as Lubbock is one of the tougher Big 12 stadiums to visit. In typical Big 12 fashion, this looks like another shootout waiting to happen. The two teams average a combined 74 points per game and both sides have below-average defensive units. Given the explosive offensive schemes of each team, those defenses won't be stopping much on Saturday.

Baylor QB Blake Shapen is coming off an average week against a tough Kansas defense, but still brought Baylor the win. Shapen has 1,600 yards on the season and 12 touchdowns, and if he can avoid adding to his 5 interceptions, Baylor will be able to open up the passing game very easily. RB Richard Reese was the main point of production last week with 186 yards and 2 touchdowns on 31 carries. Baylor knows the Texas Tech secondary isn't as sturdy as Kansas' and will probably look to shift the workload there.

The Red Raiders have had a unique system at QB this season, essentially using a 3-man rotation. Their passing game has been dominant all season and it doesn't seem to matter which QB gets the majority of the play, averaging over 360 yards per game in the air. Baylor's defense allows over 230 passing yards per game, but the Red Raiders will most likely surpass that figure.

Baylor Bears vs. Texas Tech Red Raiders Betting Prediction

One thing you can guarantee is no shortage of touchdown action; early and often. Expect a shootout and for the scoreboard to stay close as the offense exchanges punches for most of the game, but Baylor will start to slow late in the game. Texas Tech will pull out the win with some clutch 4th quarter play and knock-off Baylor.

Prediction: Texas Tech -2.5 (-110) and Over 62.5 (-110)
