Texas Tech Red Raiders vs LSU Tigers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/07/25

The LSU Tigers face the Texas Tech Red Raiders on Sunday afternoon, a game that will be played in Fort Worth. It is a big weekend for Texas Tech folks in the Metroplex, watching their football team dominate the Big 12 Championship on Saturday and then maybe hanging around for some basketball on Sunday. The Red Raiders brought back much of the roster that lost to eventual national champion Florida in the Elite 8 last year, and they should still be great this year. LSU has struggled for a couple of seasons now, and despite their 8-0 start, I have a hard time believing in them just yet. Give me the Red Raiders -6 on Sunday.

LSU did what they needed to do this year—schedule a soft non-conference and win those games. Sunday will be their first significant opponent. Their metrics look great, but that is probably smoke and mirrors, and they will fade fast as conference play starts. The Red Raiders, on the other hand, have been beaten by Purdue and Illinois, but they will be right in the mix of the loaded Big 12 standings all year. They have the best player in the conference in JT Toppin (assuming all the stud freshmen don’t overtake him), and I have to think they are miles ahead of the Tigers in terms of roster talent. Maybe LSU will prove me wrong, but I’m not convinced the Tigers are very good, and we know the Red Raiders are.

LSU vs Texas Tech Prediction: Texas Tech -6 (-110) available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.
