This Saturday’s matchup features the Arizona State Sun Devils visiting the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Arizona State comes in with a 3-2 record, while Texas Tech is undefeated at 5-0. The Red Raiders are clearly favored, as shown by the hefty 15.5-point spread in their favor.
The spread means Texas Tech must win by 16 points or more for a bet on them to pay off. Conversely, a bet on Arizona State wins if they lose by 15 or fewer points, or win outright. Both sides are priced at -110, so you’d need to wager $110 to win $100.
Looking at the moneyline, Texas Tech is a strong favorite at -700. That means a $700 bet would win $100 if they pull off the win. Arizona State is a big underdog at +500, so a $100 bet on them pays $500 if they pull off the upset.
The total is set at 50.5 points, with the under slightly favored at -112 versus -108 on the over. This suggests the sportsbook expects a moderately high-scoring game, but is pricing the under as a slightly better value.
In summary, Texas Tech’s unbeaten record and the large spread make them the clear favorite. Betting on Arizona State offers a big payout but comes with risk. The game total near 50 points suggests a balanced offense-defense matchup. Consider your risk tolerance when deciding between the spread, moneyline, or total bets here.
