Texas Tech Red Raiders vs Ohio State Buckeyes: Prediction
Four games have gone the Under mark, where the Red Raiders have won by a margin of 20 points. Since there have been no recent meetings between the two teams, there is no history to take into consideration. Neutral venues don't give an advantage to either side so it looks like a close contest.
Both teams are good on defense, so there is a chance the game will be low-scoring too. The two teams are conceding less than 60 points per game while scoring above 70 points.
Final Prediction: Texas Tech Red Raiders (-125)
