The Red Raiders get the nod at home in this matchup as -4.5-point favorites. The betting line for the total has opened at 138 points.

Head-to-head in this conference clash, Oklahoma has lost five of its last six games against Texas Tech SU. However it has covered in the last three with this season’s two-point loss at home as a +2.5-point underdog.

Texas Tech beat LSU by five points on the road in its SEC/Big 12 Challenge matchup on Saturday. Closing as a -3.5-point favorite, this was just the third cover ATS in its last 12 games.

Oklahoma-Texas Tech Predictions

The first meeting remained close to the final buzzer and I would expect Monday’s rematch to come down to the wire again. With Reeves likely out of the lineup again, Oklahoma will need another big effort from Harmon and Manek.

I would give the edge in scoring to Texas Tech at full strength. While the Red Raiders should come away with the SU season sweep, Oklahoma takes the series ATS in another tight loss.

If the Sooners are going to have any shot of keeping things close on the road, it is going to take another strong defensive effort. The recent trends in this series favors the UNDER and I'm leaning that way again for this Monday’s matchup.

• Score Prediction: Texas Tech 68 Oklahoma 65
• Best Bets: Oklahoma +4.5
• Best Bets: UNDER
