Texas Tech vs Michigan 2019 March Madness Odds & Game Info

Why #3 Texas Tech Red Raiders a good bet +2?

Iowa State upset Texas Tech in the Big 12 Tournament, but since then, the Red Raiders have been excellent, dominating Northern Kentucky and Buffalo in the NCAA Tournament. Most expected the Red Raiders to beat the Norse 72-57, but taking down the Bulls 78-58 was a mild surprise.

Texas Tech not only played fantastic on defense, they were also great on offense. If the Red Raiders bring that balanced play on Thursday, they can upset the Wolverines on the moneyline.
