The No. 13 Texas Tech Red Raiders (6-1) are priced at 62% to beat the No. 22 Arizona Wildcats (6-1), as of this writing, today in Lubbock, Texas.
Both teams are 3-1 in the Big 12, but Arizona arrives with a data point on both sides of this matchup. The Wildcats beat Cincinnati 34-7 earlier this season, the same Bearcats squad that knocked off Texas Tech 37-24 last week. Texas Tech has won five of its last six, but the market is pricing in a tighter race than the home-field edge might suggest.
