Placing Wagers on Houston versus Texas Tech Contest: Top Picks and Wagering Suggestions
Takeover in LUBBOCK: Tonight, the #9 Texas Tech Red Raiders play hosts to the #5 Houston Cougars, underdogs by just 1.5 points despite a stellar road record. Will the United Supermarkets Arena provide a home-team advantage to Texas Tech?
The Red Raiders have been dominating at home, losing only two games this season, and sporting a 10-6 ATS record. It's the first time this season Texas Tech isn't favored as the home team—a rare opportunity to bet on the underdog.
Houston boasts a perfect 8-0 record on the road, but their last loss came against none other than Texas Tech. Compared to their home performances, the Cougars have struggled on the road against the spread, with a 6-2 record. Usually, betting on college basketball home teams is a solid play, but will Houston continue their six-game win streak tonight?
The game still irks JT Toppin, who was ejected for a sketchy flagrant 2 foul during their first meeting. Since then, the Texas Tech forward has been on a scoring tear, averaging 23 points per game. As a home player, Toppin scores even more, so expect him to lead the charge tonight!
JT Toppin Over 16.5 Points -125
Post-ejection, JT Toppin has been tearing it up, scoring 23 points per game on average. He averages nearly 5 more points per game at home versus on the road, indicating another scorching performance tonight.
