Texas Tech heads to Morgantown with a lot still on the line.<\/p>\n
Texas Tech travels to West Virginia this Saturday, and it raises a fun question: what\u2019s a fair, friendly wager when you\u2019ve got a game that should be a blowout\u2026but still feels a little weird?<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll be honest, something feels off about this part of the season. It feels like college football should already be over. Not the games themselves, but the emotional arc. Usually by late November, Texas Tech fans are already sliding into that familiar \u201cwelp, maybe next year\u201d mindset. It\u2019s been that way for years, and it\u2019s hard to shake the muscle memory.<\/p>\n
But not this season.<\/p>\n
This year, there\u2019s still a ton of football to play and a lot of opportunity left on the table. It all cranks up again at 11:00 a.m. Saturday in Morgantown. Let\u2019s hope the Red Raiders aren\u2019t as blas\u00e9 as I feel, because this game matters more than it first appears \u2014 even if the oddsmakers are treating it like a foregone conclusion.<\/p>\n
What to Expect From Texas Tech\u2019s Trip to Morgantown This Saturday<\/p>\n
Right now, the experts have Texas Tech as 21-point favorites. Three touchdowns is a massive spread, and honestly, if the Red Raiders show up with their \u201cA-game,\u201d it could get even more lopsided than that.<\/p>\n
But there\u2019s a reason football is football: nothing is guaranteed. If sure things existed, Texas Tech would probably be sitting somewhere in the top four right now instead of still clawing for position. West Virginia might sit at 2\u20136 in the Big 12 and 4\u20137 overall, but that\u2019s exactly the kind of record that makes a team dangerous. Spoilers thrive in late November.<\/p>\n
