Arizona vs. Texas Tech player props
Noah Fifita 260+ passing yards (-108)
If there is any certainty this week, it’s that the Texas Tech secondary will probably continue to bleed passing yards. Through seven games, they’ve allowed an average of 266.1 passing yards per outing with a 62.8% completion rate for opposing quarterbacks. The Red Raiders have conceded four games of at least 260+ yards through the air, including performances of 417, 283, 297 and 380 against Oregon State, Houston, Colorado and Arizona State. Now, they face Noah Fifita under center for Arizona, who has thrown for 2,064 yards in seven contests, an average of 294.9 per outing. The quarterback leads the Big 12 in completion rate at 74.2% with an 18-4 TD-INT ratio, so he’s played some very good football so far. He’s also tallied 300+ passing yards in back-to-back games and has thrown for 260+ in five straight appearances, only failing to reach that mark in one of his seven games on the year. He’s providing prolific passing production for the Wildcats and could shred this suspect secondary come Saturday.
J’Koby Williams 70+ rushing yards (-134)
Cameron Dickey is expected to return this week from an ankle sprain based on reporting from earlier in the week, meaning the Red Raiders could get their bruising runner back into the mix. However, J’Koby Williams may not concede the starting role back to Dickey. Williams has been a revelation this season, leading the team with 619 rushing yards and five touchdowns on just 86 carries. For those keeping track at home, that’s good for an average of 7.2 YPC – hyper-efficient production on a not-insignificant sample. Williams is coming off three straight games of 80+ rushing yards after garnering 81, 165 and 88, plus, he’s no stranger to breaking long runs and usually shakes loose for one or two big ones each week. He’s tallied at least 70+ rushing yards in five of his seven games this season and has done so in three of the four games against Big 12 competition. Especially if Dickey is eased back in following the injury, I like Williams’ chances to get to 70+ yards on the ground again here.
