The Texas vs. Texas Tech Week 3 College Football spread opened at Longhorns as the -3 road favorite. The line has stayed steady at SBG Global despite Texas getting heavy lopsided action.
Scouts Inc. says of this game:
Texas and Texas Tech kick off their Big 12 schedules in a game that'll be the first test for each this season. The Longhorns haven't fared well in Lubbock under Mack Brown, going 3-3. The most memorable trip came in 2008 when Michael Crabtree's last-second TD catch derailed Texas' title hopes.
"Lubbock is an awesome place to play. The whole environment (is crazy)," said junior safety Blake Gideon. "It's going to be a blast."
Maybe…maybe not.
The home team has actually won 4 of the last 5 games in this series. Then again, Texas has won 6 of the last 7.
Some important trends to consider when looking at this spread include:
The Longhorns are just 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a S.U. win and 0-5 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Texas Tech comes into this game with a 2-0 record, just like Texas.
There are no especially impressive stats favoring or disfavoring Texas Tech coming into this matchup.
