Texas Tech Red Raiders vs Texas Longhorns College Football Betting Preview & Free Pick

CFB Preview: Texas Tech Red Raiders vs Texas Longhorns
Written By David Hess (Follow me on Twitter @DavidHess311)
When: 7:30 PM ET, Thursday, November 26, 2015
Where: Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin, Texas
Lines: N/A
Total: N/A


The Texas Tech Red Raiders have not been playing well down the stretch as they have won just one of their last three games, while the Texas Longhorns have played well of late as hey are 3-2 in their last five games. The Longhorns have won the last 6 in a row in the series.
Red Raiders Are All Offense And No Defense
The Texas Tech Red Raiders have had a decent season as hey are 6-5 so far and are probably headed to a bowl game and it has all been due to their offense that comes in ranked third in the nation in total offense, putting up 588.1 ypg, and 2nd in scoring (46.5 ppg). Patrick Mahommes has had a very good year as he has hit 65.7 of his passes for 3911 with 31 TDs and 13 INTs for the year. He is the reason they are 3rd in the nation in passing. They are also 36th in rushing and are led by DeAndre Washington, who has 1282 yards and 12 TDS on the ground this year.
Now for the bad about this this team and that is their defense that has just been horrible this year. The Red Raiders come in ranked 127th in the nation in yards allowed, giving up 546.8 ypg, while also ranking 118th vs the pass, 123rd vs the run and 123rd in points allowed, giving up 42.4 ppg. Even if they lose this game they should be in a bowl this year and with their games averaging 88.9 ppg it should vs a fun game, no matter who they play.   
Texas May Not Go Bowling This Year
The Texas Longhorns have been playing better down the stretch and it started with their shocking upset of Oklahoma back on October 10th, but still they have this tough game and then a road game vs Baylor next week and they must win both in order to get to a bowl game. They have a shot at winning this one, but no shot at winning in Baylor, which should mean that they will be left out of the bowl party this year.
The Longhorns brought back eight starters on offense and five on defense and were expected to take a step forward after finishing just 6-7 last year, but this team got off to a slow start and that pretty much doomed them. Neither Tyrone Swoopes nor Jerrod Heard have been able to lead this offense all that well as the Longhorns come in 93rd in total offense, 118th in passing and 94th in scoring (24.9 ppg). The defense was to be one of the best in the Big 12, but they come in ranked 95th in total defense and 87th in points allowed (29.9). The Texas Longhorn bowl streak should end at four.

[113] Texas Tech -1.5 over Texas
The Red Raiders have been foundering and the Longhorns have been playing well of late, but I feel this one goes to the Red Raiders. They just have much more offense and the Longhorns won't be able to keep pace. Yes Texas gets the edge on the defensive side of the ball, but still the Texas offense has been inconsistent and just won't come up with enough points to outscore the third best offense in the nation.

Arizona Wildcats vs Arizona State Sun Devils College Football Betting Preview & Pick

Arizona Wildcats (6-5 SU, 6-5 ATS, 8-3 OU) vs Arizona State Sun Devils (5-5 SU, 3-7-0 ATS, 3-7-0 OU)
When: 3:30 PM ET, Saturday, November 21, 2015
Where: Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona
Lines: Arizona State -6
Total: N/A


The Arizona Wildcats and Arizona State Sun Devils have not been much of a factor in the Pac-12 this year, but this is a very heated rivalry and the game may be just a bit more important for Arizona State as they still need one win to become bowl eligible. The Sun Devils won a 42-35 thriller at Arizona last year.
Arizona Shocks No. 10 Utah In Double OT
The Arizona Wildcats have not had the year they were expecting and are currently just 3-5 in the PAC-12, but this past weekend they came up with a big 37-30 win over highly ranked Utah in two overtimes. The win was big for Arizona as it made them bowl eligible as they are now 6-5 overall. Arizona jumped out to the early 17-7 lead and then needed a 3rd quarter TD to tie the game at 27. There was no scoring in the 4th quarter and then after the teams traded FGs in the first OT it was a 25 yards YD pass from Jerrard Randall to Nate Phillips that won it for the Cats.
Utah has one of the best defenses in the PAC-12 but they did allow Arizona to pile up 460 yards overall, including 302 yards through the air. Anu Solomon had a solid game as he threw for 277 yards on 17 of 27 passing with two TDs and 1 INT. The offense has not been a problem for Arizona this year as they rank 16th in total offense, 12th in passing and 25th in scoring (36.7 ppg). The problem for the Wildcats this year has been on the defensive side of the all where they rank 108th in yards allowed, 109th vs the pass and 106th in points allowed, giving up 34.2 ppg.     
Arizona State One Win Away From Bowl Eligibility
The Arizona State Sun Devils were expected to compete for the PAC-12 South Title this year, but they have just been too inconsistent to make that happen and now they are just fighting to grab a bowl bid. They took a nice step towards bowl eligibility this past weekend, but it wasn’t easy at all as they had to come back from 17 down to beat the Washington Huskies 27-17. Yes Washington scored the first 17 points and then it was all the Sun Devils as they scored the final 27 points in the game.
It wasn’t pretty as they were outgained by 150 yards in the game, but helping them out was four Washington turnovers. Mike Bercovici had a solid game vs a very tough defense as he threw for 253 yards and a TD on 22 of 34 passing. Bercovici has had a very good year overall and has led the Sun Devils to the 28th ranked passing team in the nation and the 52nd ranked scoring offense, putting up 31 ppg. Just like Arizona, offense has not been a problem for this team, but defense has as they rank 89th in yards allowed, 121st vs the pass and 91st in points allowed (30.7 ppg). They allowed Washington’s weak attack to pile up 547 yards.       
Trends
Arizona is:
  • 1-5 ATS in their last six games after accumulating more than 280 yards passing in their previous game
Arizona State is:
  • None Available

Pick: Arizona State -6


I know this is a rivalry game, but still this is not a good spot for Arizona as they are off a big upset win and now have bowl eligibility in their back pocket and will be taking on an Arizona State team that is looking for the same in this one. Neither team has been that good on defense, but ASU has been slightly better and they have allowed 29 ppg at home, while the Wildcats have allowed 38.6 ppg on the road. Let’s also add in the fact that the Sun Devils have revege for a 10 point loss they suffered last year in Tucson. Add it all up and Arizona State should win this one by at least a TD.

Northwestern Wildcats vs Wisconsin Badgers Betting Preview & Free Pick

Northwestern Wildcats (8-2 SU, 6-4 ATS, 4-6-0 OU) vs Wisconsin Badgers (8-2 SU, 4-6-0 ATS, 4-6-0 OU)
When: 12:00 PM ET, Saturday, November 21, 2015
Where: Camp Randall Stadium in Madison Wisconsin
Lines: Wisconsin -10
Total: 40


The Northwestern Wildcats have been the surprise of the Big 10 thus far as they come in at 7-2 overall and 4-2 in the conference after taking out Purdue 21-14 this past week. The Wisconsin Badgers had the week off and prior to their bye they beat Maryland 31-24 on the road. Wisconsin is now 5-1 in the Big 10. Both Wisconsin and Northwestern are chasing Iowa in the Big 10 West.
Justin Jackson’s TD Lifts Wildcats Over Boilermakers
The Wildcats weren’t really supposed to be in a close game vs Purdue this past weekend, but that’s exactly what happened as they just couldn’t shake the pesky Boilermakers. The game was tied at 14 until Justin Jackson scored on a two-yard run with just over 10 minutes left in the game. That was the game winner. Jackson had 116 yards rushing in the game and that lone TD, while Warren Long had the other two TDs for the Cats.
The Wildcats only outgained the Boliermakers by just 22 yards in the game and just had a lot of trouble sustaining much offense vs a defense that ranked 101st overall and 107th in points allowed. Not a pretty offensive display for Northwestern, but really that is the way it has been this year for the Wildcats as they come in ranked 111th in total offense and 11th in scoring offense (21.1 ppg) Defense is where this team’s bread is buttered as they come in ranked 18th in yards allowed (320.4 ypg) and 12th in points allowed 17.6 ppg.  
Badgers Survive A Scare From Maryland
The Wisconsin Badgers are just a game behind Iowa in the Big 10 West and two weeks ago they took on a weak Maryland squad that had just two wins on the year coming in. Maryland fought hard in the game and it was tied at the half, before Wisconsin outscored them 14-7 in the 2nd half. Joel Stave had just 20 yards passing at the half, but had a much better second half as he finished with 188 yards and 1 TD for the game. Stave has now thrown 10 TD passes on the year, but he has 8 INTs as well.
Still it has been the passing game that has led this team a bit more than the power running game that they are used to in these parts. The passing game ranks 44th in the nation, which the running game is 89th. Wisconsin was able to must just 104 yards on the ground in the win over a Maryland squad that has allowed 160 ypg on the ground this year. Much like Northwestern, this isn’t an offensive team as their money is made on a defense that ranks 3rd in the nation in yards allowed (272 ypg) and 1st in points allowed (12.3 ppg).

Pick: Wisconsin/ Northwestern Under 40

 The OU line here should be around 42 and I expect this game to be played in the 30’s. Both teams are very conservative on offense and they can afford to be as they have top-notch defenses backing them up. The Badgers have allowed just 12.3 ppg overall, including just 5.0 ppg at home and the Wildcats have averaged just 16.3 ppg on the road. Northwestern has allowed 25.3 pg on the road and Wisconsin has scored 32 ppg at home, but I just can’t see them getting that much in this one, especially knowing that their defense should really stifle the Wildcats, so they won’t have to score a whole lot to win the game. This game has 20-13 written all over it.
