The last time Blake Griffin faced the Texas Tech Red Raiders (12-16 SU, 7-13-1 ATS), he posted 40 points and 23 rebounds, leading Tech coach Pat Knight to compare Griffin to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character in The Terminator. But Saturday’s sequel in Lubbock might be lacking in starpower.

The Oklahoma Sooners (25-3 SU, 12-10-1 ATS) lost arguably the best player in college and the consensus No. 1 pick in the 2009 NBA Draft when Griffin got clocked in the nose last week against Texas. Then OU lost to the Longhorns (-1.5 in Austin) and the Kansas Jayhawks (+2 in Norman) to fall out of first place in the Big 12. Griffin’s status for Saturday remains uncertain as he continues to recover from a concussion.

There are other talented players on the Sooners roster, and Texas Tech is entirely beatable, having won just once over the past month at 3-6 ATS. Get your NCAA lines in the Bodog Sportsbook.
