Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma State Prediction, Odds, Picks & How to Watch NCAAF Saturday

The Texas Tech Red Raiders (6-4, 4-3 Big 12) make the trip to Stillwater on Saturday afternoon to take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys (3-7, 0-7) in a Big 12 battle. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN+.

Texas Tech is coming off a bye, but the week before that, the Red Raiders suffered a 41-27 loss at the hands of Colorado in part due to some questionable officiating calls.

Oklahoma State, meanwhile, has yet to win a conference game and is coming off a 38-13 drubbing against TCU in Fort Worth.

Texas Tech is a -3.5 favorite with an over/under 66. Let’s dive into my Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma State predictions and college football picks for Saturday, Nov. 23.

Who wants to back the corpse of Oklahoma State, which will amazingly play its first meaningless game (zero postseason chance) under Mike Gundy since 2005? I might be on an island with this one.

I’ve avoided the Pokes like the plague all season with one exception, which came after their first bye week when they got an easy cover at BYU in a game they should have won outright.

Well, I’m going back to the well following their second bye week; Gundy has gone 28-18 ATS (60.9%) with extra time to prepare.

I think this extremely veteran team will actually show up with a prideful effort in their final home game, trying to avoid a winless Big 12 campaign.

Plus, I’m not sure where Texas Tech is at mentally. The Red Raiders have already clinched bowl eligibility and were essentially eliminated from Big 12 contention in their most recent game in a loss at home vs. Colorado prior to their own second bye week.

For what it’s worth, the Red Raiders got blasted by 24 at home after their first bye. Plus, they’re also still pretty beat up on both sides of the ball. I could see them coming out extremely flat.

It’s possible that running back Tahj Brooks just runs wild against a porous Pokes run defense that has been decimated by injuries.

However, even if that’s the case, there’s no reason why Oklahoma State can’t keep up against a terrible Texas Tech defense I have rated in the same neighborhood as Oklahoma State’s. This could easily turn into a shootout.

It’s rare to see a performance from Oklahoma State under Gundy like this. However, I think he’ll have his team ready to pick up its first Big 12 win on Senior Day.

For what it’s worth, Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire is 0-3 against the spread as the road favorite of three-plus points, failing to cover by an average of 15 points per game. The Red Raiders lost all three of those games outright.

It was difficult to hit the submit button on this Oklahoma State team, but I have a gut feeling it shows up — and I project this under a field goal.

Pick: Oklahoma State +3.5 or Better
