Where To Bet On Houston Vs Texas Tech + Best Bets

• Texas Tech is a 1.5-point underdog at home against the Houston Cougars tonight.
• Houston’s last loss was against Texas Tech but have gone 8-0 on the road this season.
• JT Toppin has averaged 23 PPG over his last six after being ejected against Texas Tech.

LUBBOCK, Texas – Tonight, the nine-ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders will host the five-ranked Houston Cougars as 1.5-point underdogs. Both teams have the same record against the spread this season at 15-12 but could home-court advantage be enough to ride with the underdog?

Texas Tech has only lost two games this season when playing at the United Supermarkets Arena and has gone 10-6 ATS.

This is the first game this season that Texas Tech has not been favored when playing as the home team.

Houston has won all eight of their road games during the 2024-25 season and has a 6-2 record against the spread.

It is typically a solid move to ride the home team when betting on college basketball and that should not change for tonight. The Cougars are riding a six-game win streak but their last loss came from home against Texas Tech.

The Red Raiders did not even have their best player for the majority of this game, as JT Toppin was given a highly questionable flagrant 2 foul in the first four minutes of the game.

Even though Houston has played great this season on the road, bet on Texas Tech to win this one at home, with Toppin leading the way.

JT Toppin Over 16.5 Points -125

Since getting ejected against Houston on the road, JT Toppin has been on a scoring tear. The Texas Tech forward has averaged 23 points per game. Additionally, Toppin has averaged nearly five more points per game at home versus on the road.
