The 5-2 Kansas Jayhawks will play host today to the eight ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders. Kansas is coming off its worst defeat in almost two seasons as the Sooners beat them by a score of 45-31 last weekend in Norman. College football betting odds at Bodoglife.com have this Big 12 battle as a pick and the total set at 68.
The Jayhawks were able to move the ball on Oklahoma's defense last Saturday, but they could not slow down the Sooners vaunted offense. Kansas allowed Bob Stoops' team to accumulate 674 yards of offense and Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford to pass for a school record 468 yards.
The Kansas defense, one of the best in the nation last year, has had its share of struggles in 2008. The pass defense, which will get another big test against the Red Raiders, has given up over 250 yards per game.
Texas Tech, like their coach, has been a bit enigmatic at times this season. The Red Raiders were that very thing last Saturday when the traveled to College Station to take on the Aggies of Texas A&M. Tech eventually put A&M away by a score of 43-25, but they trailed 23-20 at halftime. They might not get away with a performance like that against the Jayhawks as Kansas quarterback Todd Reesing is more than capable of burning the Red Raiders leaky secondary.
College Football Betting Trend: The Over is 7-3 in Texas Tech's last 10 games on the road versus a Big 12 opponent.
