Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Texas Tech vs. Texas

Play: Point Spread: -8.5/-110 Texas
Texas are tough to beat when Bijan Robinson gets his touches, the 220lb back has to be used effectively in this game.
He has to help keep the chains moving, and try to keep Texas Tech off the field. There is a very good possibility that the Red Raiders can be held below 30 points here. Getting touches to Robinson has the chance to make Texas that much better and keep the explosive TT offense out of rhythm.
Texas Tech does not adjust their game plan enough - which tells me that they don't really want to change things up.
If that keeps up, Texas Tech might need a couple adjustments in the punt coverage team to right their ship. Their Oline has been tough, getting 5.51 YPC - something's got to give, playing a Texas team giving up 5.12 YPC. If they could just control penalties, Texas Tech would have a much better chance of winning a game like this. This is going to be a ton of fun to watch - there's a lot of offense available - but the Longhorns D is a little better - I trust them to make a stop or two.
Longhorns are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall and Texas should win this one comfortably!
