History - Texas Tech vs. Baylor
When the
two teams played earlier in the season, Baylor won 68-60 in Lubbock. The Bears
were well on their way to winning 18 straight games to start the season and won
as a 4-point favorite over Texas Tech.
What the
Red Raiders were able to do in that game is something not many teams have done
to Baylor in 2021. Head coach Chris Beard’s team was able to hold Baylor in the
60s.
The Bears
are one of the top scoring teams in the nation averaging 85.4 points per game.
Guards Jared Butler (16.9 ppg) and MaCio Teague (14.7 ppg) lead four players in
double figures for the high-scoring Bears.

Undefeated Season
Baylor lost
for the first time this season last week when Kansas upset head coach Scott
Drew’s team 71-58. The Bears recovered from that loss to beat No. 6 West
Virginia 94-89 in overtime on Tuesday.
The Red
Raiders, on the other hand, have been limping through the latter part of their
regular season schedule. They lost three straight to West Virginia, Kansas, and
Oklahoma State before getting much needed wins over Texas and TCU.
What Texas
Tech doesn’t do often is cover a point spread. They did cover in their recent
wins over Texas and TCU, but the Red Raiders are just 5-14 ATS in their last 19
games. Before their recent two-game cover streak, Texas Tech did not cover in
five straight games. If you’re looking to profit on sports,
these are the facts you need to know.
Baylor has
been one of the more dominant teams in the country this season. In addition to
the Bears 19-1 record straight up, Baylor is 14-6 ATS. Drew’s team is beating
teams by an average of 20.4 points per game. That is the second-highest average
scoring margin in the nation.

Tech at Baylor Free Pick
With Texas
Tech’s recent win streak and their penchant for defense, expect a point spread
similar to the one when the teams played back in January.
Remember,
it will be the final home game for Teague and possibly Butler should he decide
to leave for the NBA draft. The Bears will want to head into the conference
tournament with a home win.
The Red
Raiders will do their best to keep this one close, but it won’t be close
enough. Back Baylor at home up to -6.
