Texas Tech-Ole Miss Texas Bowl Odds, Lines, Spread and Betting Preview

Ole Miss is favored by just over a field goal over Texas Tech in the Texas Bowl.

Texas Tech carries a three-game winning streak into the Texas Bowl against Ole Miss, which dropped three in a row to end the year.

Regardless, the Rebels are favorites in the seventh meeting between the programs. Ole Miss is 4–2 against the Red Raiders overall (3–0 in bowl games) and won the most recent regular-season meeting, 47-27, in 2018.

After some speculation, Lane Kiffin is still at the helm in Oxford. The Rebels have yet to miss a bowl game with Kiffin coaching, and they'll lean on the nation's No. 3 rushing offense against Texas Tech. Led by running back Quinshon Judkins, who romped for 1,476 yards this year, three players gained at least 500 yards on the ground, including quarterback Jaxson Dart.

The Red Raiders cycled through three quarterbacks this season, but the presumptive starter in their bowl game is Tyler Slough, who threw for 436 yards and two scores in an overtime win against Oklahoma last time out.
