The Houston Cougars (2 - 0) are taking their perfect record on the road in order to square off against the hometown Texas Tech Red Raiders (1 - 1). Texas Tech will be hosting this game at the Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock, TX. Texas Tech will come into this game as the slight favorites in what should be a competitive matchup. Texas Tech is coming off of a 77 - 0 beatdown of LAM while Houston just beat up on Arizona, 45 - 18.

Texas Tech will be taking the field with a team that has proven itself on offense. Texas Tech is scoring 52 PPG on offense this season while gathering nearly 585 total yards per game. Texas Tech is led on offense by the play of QB Alan Bowman (555 yards, 3 TD) and he'll be integral in whether or not the Red Raiders can live up to their home crowd's expectations. On defense, Texas Tech is surrendering 24 PPG to opposing teams.
Houston will be taking the field with a similarly explosive offense. The Houston Cougars are racking up 45 PPG on offense with the vast majority of their damage coming through the air. Houston is averaging 287 passing yards per game. Defensively, Houston's secondary has been an absolute mess. Houston is giving up 336 yards through the air to opposing teams. If Houston can't lock in their defense then the Cougars are going to be in for a long, long day.

Houston has played in two high scoring games and think Cougars and Red Raiders make it three in a row this week. Cougars offense score in bunches and a bad Red Raiders defense will have no answer this week. Final Score Prediction, Houston Cougars win and cover ATS but like the over best in this one 37-34.
