5* NCAAF Revenge Game of the Year on Texas Tech -2.5
This game is all about revenge for Texas Tech, which was crushed 41-7 at home by Iowa State last year. The Red Raiders clearly suffered a major letdown following their upset win at No. 1 Oklahoma the previous week. Last year's butt-kicking by the Cyclones assures us that Tech will be ready to go Saturday night.

The fact odds makers have given the Red Raiders the nod as the favorite is significant because the team laying points is on a 6-2 ATS run in this series. It is also worth noting that the Red Raiders are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games.

Texas Tech has been explosive in the early going and has carried the total score over 60 points in each of its last two games as a result. This is important because it is 6-0 ATS under coach Tuberville in road games after a playing a game where 60 total points or more were scored. The Red Raiders have won by an average score of 44.8 to 28.5 in this situation.

The Iowa State defense is sound in the front 7, but its secondary is weak. The Red Raiders have the playmakers to take advantage on the outside. Lay the points as Tech has its revenge.
