The
Texas Tech and Minnesota 2006 Insight Bowl odds show a high
scoring affair and a likely Red Raider victory. Both teams have
high-powered offenses, but both teams are a little disappointed in this
December bowl.
The Red
Raiders were coming off a 9-3 finish to last season in which they tied for 2nd
in the Big 12 South. The team came in ranked 25th in the preseason AP, but
a loss in week 3 dropped them out of the rankings for good. A tough home
stretch left them 3-4 over their final 7 games and at 7-5 overall which was good
enough to earn them their 7th straight bowl appearance. Quarterback Graham
Harrell has completed 67% of his passes and is 2nd in the country with 35 TDs
and third with 342.5 passing yards per game.
Minnesota
might also be disappointed, but they are making a school record 5th straight
bowl appearance, but this year they flip flopped their normal course. The
school had got off to fast starts and slow finishes the last four years, but
this season rebounded to win four out of their last five. The Gophers
still need a win to avoid their first losing season since 2001. Bad news
for Minnesota though as they face a potent Texas Tech air attack. The
Gophers are giving up 253.5 passing yards per game, which happens to be the 7th
worst in the nation.
Both of these
teams are offense depended as shown by Texas Tech's 42 ppg average in their wins
and 17 ppg average in their losses. Minnesota on the other hand has put up
40.7 ppg in their six wins and only 15.2 in their six losses.
A nice
matchup here between the Big 12 and the Big 10 and if you are
looking to get in on the action you are going to want to pick up
our college bowl picks.
This is the easiest way to make sure that you beat your man on a
consistent basis.
