Texas Tech boasts one of the nation's finest defenses, and our Big 12 Championship game predictions expect the Red Raiders' defense to lead the way against BYU.Championship Saturday should be full of excitement and intrigue, except for maybe in the Big 12 title game.
That’s because it’s the Texas Tech Red Raiders taking on the BYU Cougars at AT&T Stadium in a rematch of a November 8 meeting that could nicely be described as a beatdown. The Red Raiders' defense overwhelmed the Cougars and is nearly two-touchdown favorites in the Big 12 Championship. Now, this game may mean more to the Cougars, who likely need to win to qualify for the College Football Playoff, but my BYU vs. Texas Tech predictions andWho will win the Big 12 Championship? Texas Tech. There's a reason why the Red Raiders are nearly two-touchdown favorites in the Big 12 title game.Texas Tech Red Raiders enter the Big 12 Championship with an 11-1 record and ranked fourth in the latest College Football Playoff rankings. So, even a loss in the conference title game seemingly won’t knock the Red Raiders out of the field.The Red Raiders have risen up the rankings thanks to one of the best defenses in the country. Led by defensive end David Bailey and linebacker Jacob Rodriguez, the Red Raiders lead the nation in opponent EPA per play and are third in defensive success rate.; the difference is that the loss came against the Red Raiders back on November 8. And that was the first time that Bachmeier really looked like a freshman this season. The Red Raiders and their NFL-quality defensive line overwhelmed Bear Bachmeier and the Cougars, holding them to 2.5 yards per carry while limiting Bachmeier to 23-for-38 passing for 188 yards with a touchdown and a pick in an eventual 29-7 Red Raiders win. But that final score could have easily been 49-7. The Texas Tech offense stalled in the red zone a few times, settling for five field goals. I’m not expecting BYU's offensive opportunities to suddenly improve with a venue change, especially since the change isn’t to Provo. Neither do oddsmakers, to be fair, who set this spread at nearly two touchdowns. On top of that, the Red Raiders' offense should convert one or two of those field goals into touchdowns this time around. With that, plus a national championship–caliber defense, I’m all in on Texas Tech making the Big 12 title game a bit of a blowout.once in that game, but they consistently collapsed the pocket to the point where there weren’t even holes for him to escape, and he ended up with just 12 rushing yards. BYU needs Bachmeier upright in this game to have a chance. That means getting the ball out quickly and not taking big hits. Plus, an extra sack or two could really crush his rushing prop, which sits at 30.5. Meanwhile, if the Red Raiders want to convert some more of those red zone opportunities, they should keep looking at wideout Douglas is cooking right now, 25 receptions for 409 yards over his last five games, finding the endzone six times, including in the last matchup against BYU. Adding him to score another TD here looks like a good bet.Texas Tech has covered the spread in 11 of its last 13 games .
