KSU is entering this game with a 3-1 record overall to start their college football season and they will be playing their 4th home game of the season as they are 2-1 in their home games this year. This will also be the 2nd conference matchup on their conference schedule this season as they are 1-0. They won against the Oklahoma Sooners in their last game on the road 41-34. Adrian Martinez started that game at QB and he completed 21/34 passes for 234 yards and 1 touchdown.

Austin Moore and Jaylen Pickle led the defense in sacks with 0.5 while no one on the defense came away with an interception for them in that one.

The current betting odds have TT listed as a 7.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. TT just pulled off a big win at home in OT against Texas but now they are on the road in another important conference game as both of these teams have had good starts to their seasons. KSU just pulled off a big win of their own going into Oklahoma and knocking off the ranked team for a road win. Both of these teams had very emotional wins last week so this could be a bit of a let down spot for both. Texas Tech is getting a whole touchdown here when Kansas State just lost at home to Tulane, who isn't very good, right before going on the road and beating Oklahoma. Texas tech has had a much tougher schedule so far and they have come out of it 3 wins and 1 loss. This will be a very close game and either team has a really good chance of winning this game off of their big wins last week. The best way to place a bet here is on Texas tech to cover the spread in this game.
