Texas Tech vs Iowa State Betting Prediction
The Red Raiders won't have many extra scoring opportunities against the Cyclones since they haven't rebounded the ball as efficiently on the road. They've also been sloppy with the ball lately, which will give the Cyclones, who average more than 11 steals per game at home, easy scoring opportunities.
Expect the Red Raiders to struggle to keep up with the Cyclones as they limit opponents to under 580 points per game at home, so pick the Cyclones to cover the spread.
Pick: Iowa State Cyclones -7 (-110)
