SMU vs Texas Tech Predictions and Football Betting Picks

If this were a couple of weeks in the regular season, would definitely recommend the “over.” But since it’s the first game, you have to have a certain lack of practice – especially since the Texas Tech team with a new coach and two new coordinators. So go with the “low.”

I like Texas Tech to win – which has won its last seven openers – but for SMU to cover the maximum Jones certainly has been reminding his players of the long series of losing in this series and exhaust lost only two years ago.

East Carolina Football, Now, the Red Raiders open the season today with its new coach Tommy Tuberville at the helm. Tuberville will continue to run the offense that Leach had been widely successful with recent years. If the Red Raiders will have a fall, the odds makers do not predict what will happen in a week.

Texas Tech is favored by two touchdowns at Southern Methodist this afternoon. The college football odds are different Paris of the NFL in the fact that differences can often leave for the Games opening. In the NFL point spreads are relatively low for the first game, with the odds makers unsure of how each team will play.

Several changes have taken place on Saturday; the most important was the installation of a return, a Jacksonville State second half to defeat Houston Nutt’s Mississippi Bulldogs. Florida and LSU, two other powers of the SEC, both escaped with victories after poor performances in their first games of the year.

Tulsa and East Carolina opens its season today as one of two college games scheduled for this afternoon. Seven points favor Tulsa, and the total for the game fifty-nine suggests a shooting attack. The total is even higher in the Texas Tech game, SMU. The point total indicates that sixty Texas Tech will be again a potent offense.

Virginia Tech, the favorites in the ACC to take on a third Boise State team that feels they have been stolen from a title shot last year. Starting at number three this season, Boise can provide early case if they cannot defeat the Hokies.

The Texas Tech football program has experienced a renaissance under the leadership of Mike Leach, but the relationship crumbled late last season when players turned the once popular car. An incident involving his son ESPN analyst Craig James has led to the dismissal of Leach.
