The Colorado Buffaloes are set to head on the road for a Week 11 matchup against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Colorado is slowly climbing up the AP Top 25 rankings, and if the Buffaloes hope to keep their slim playoff chances alive, they’ll need to knock off the Red Raiders. However, Texas Tech will have other plans in mind as it looks to protect its home field.
Colorado vs Texas Tech
- Location: Jones AT&T Stadium (Lubbock, Texas) | Time: 4:00 PM ET
- Where to Watch: FOX
- Spread: Colorado -4.5, Moneyline: Colorado -184, Total: 62.5
Colorado vs Texas Tech Best Bet: Texas Tech +4.5
The Buffaloes dealt with some early season struggles as the offense looked to find their rhythm, but over the past few weeks, Deion Sanders’s squad has looked as explosive as ever. Colorado will have their hands full against a well-coached Texas Tech defense, but the offense should be able to put up plenty of points. However, the Red Raiders’ dangerous offense could be a problem for the Buffaloes’ defense, which has been inconsistent this year. Assuming Texas Tech can match Colorado offensively, Texas Tech has a solid chance to win or keep the margin of victory under five points.

Colorado vs Texas Tech Best Total Bet: Over 62.5
Colorado enters this matchup, averaging 31.4 points per game. On the flip side, Texas Tech’s offense is just as, if not more explosive, averaging 36.4 points per game. In what could be a shootout, the set total of 62.5 is more than manageable for both squads to get to. A final score of 37-34 could be a realistic outcome.
Colorado Best Player Bet: Travis Hunter 110+ Receiving Yards
Travis Hunter has been one of the most impactful playmakers in the nation this year. The versatile star has proven to be a lockdown defender and a top receiver in college football. Against the Red Raiders, Hunter could be poised to shine on both sides, but his most significant impact could come on offense. The wideout has caught 110+ receiving yards in four of the team’s eight games so far this season, and in what could be a shootout, Hunter has an excellent chance to get over the mark again.

Texas Tech Best Player Bet: Tahj Brooks First Touchdown Scorer +330
Texas Tech has relied heavily on Tahj Brooks on offense this season. The running back is up to 1,047 rushing yards and ten touchdowns on the season. With the Red Raiders looking to strike first and set the tone, there’s a solid shot that Brooks finds himself in the endzone first against Colorado.
