The Non Conference power system play is on Texas Tech. Game 389 at 11:00 eastern. Texas tech gets solid line value here as they are off a close home win to non board team last week. Tonight they benefit from a powerful system that plays against UTEP and teams that a home dog or favorite of 3 or less that are off a +6 or more point dog win in a non conference game that is also their home opener. These teams like UTEP are 2-18 to the spread since 1980. Last week The miners upended New Mexico as an 8 point dog. Texas Tech qualifies in an additional system that plays on favorites from -10.5 to -21 that averaged more than 30 points last year and are in a non conference game vs a normally lined team. Texas Tech has covered in 7 straight road openers and are 14-1 ATS in Games they win as a road favorite, which is something we expect they will do here. The Red Raiders have covered 6 of the last 7 in September and the last 5 times as a road favorite, they are 9-0 vs non conference teams and have won 10 of 12 vs Conference USA. UTEP has lost and failed to cover in 16 of the last 21 on Turf and are just 1-12 straight up and 3-9 ats vs Big 12 teams and are 1-9 ats as a dog. Were taking TECH here tonight.
