The underdog worth betting in the Texas Bowl tonight.
Sometimes the air can get sucked out of a bowl game weeks before it takes place. Coaching changes, opt-outs, and players entering the transfer portal have a way of making some of these contests feel like formalities. TheNot only does this matchup feature two teams from Power 5 conferences, but both Ole Miss and Texas Tech play a pleasing style of football that will be attractive for both neutrals and bettors.
It’s been an encouraging first season for Joey McGuire at Texas Tech. Not only are the Red Raiders in a solid bowl game against a high-profile opponent, but they also finished above .500 in the Big 12 for the first time since 2009 and beat both Oklahoma and Texas en route to a 7-5 record. The Red Raiders finished the season ranked 34th in rushing success rate, 41st in line yards, 22nd in passing success rate, and 34th in finishing drives. Those aren’t elite numbers, but they’re quite respectable, especially when the offense averages 33.6 points per game.
But the ground attack is just a complement for Texas Tech’s passing game, which is putting up 459.5 yards per contest this season. The Red Raiders should meet very little resistance against a defense that finished the season 94th in passing success rate.
