Texas Tech vs BYU Same Game Parlay
The BYU Cougars and the Texas Tech Red Raiders will clash on Saturday afternoon for the Big 12 Championship.
BYU has been one of the biggest surprises in college football this season. The Cougars have posted an 11-1 record and are ranked 11th nationally.
Despite the strong record, BYU appears to need a win to reach the postseason. The Cougars' lone loss came to Texas Tech earlier in the season (29-7).
Texas Tech has enjoyed an outstanding season with an 11-1 record. That record has the Red Raiders ranked fourth in the nation.
Tech should be in the playoffs regardless of the outcome of this game.
Quarterback Behern Morton leads the team with 2,428 passing yards, 20 touchdowns, and four interceptions.
Spread Pick: BYU +12.5
I can not resist getting this many points with BYU.
I know the Cougars did not cover this spread in the first meeting between these two teams, but the circumstances are much different in this game.
This is not an actual road game for BYU, and the Cougars will be playing for their season.
I believe BYU's run game can be effective enough to control the clock and keep the game close.
BYU Player Prop: LJ Martin Anytime Touchdown
The Cougars will need a strong game from their star to have any chance of winning.
LJ Martin has been one of the best running backs in college football this season. The junior has rushed for eleven touchdowns and is the Cougars' top option in the red zone.
I expect Martin to have multiple chances to find pay dirt in this matchup.
