College Football free sports picks: Texas Tech at SMU (Saturday, August 31st)

August 31st 2013, 9:48am, By: Johnny Houston

College Football, Saturday 31st August

Texas Tech at SMU - Gerald J. Ford Stadium, Dallas, TX

The Texas Tech Red Raiders have gotten the  better of SMU over the last 20 odd years. Last game at this stadium was in 2010 Tech won 35-27. SMU Mustungs will be a different team this year. They struggled against passing attacks but were great against the run and with Texas Tech's main QB in doubt, in fact they havent even named a QB reports say it will be a game -time decision. This makes me believe they will have to run it more, which should favour the Mustungs. 

With Michael Brewer ( Techs QB) Out and an offense that relies very heavily on him we are going with the home underdog.

BET ON: SMU +4.0 ( 2 UNITS )
