Odds Shift as Sorsby Eyes NFL Draft
Texas Tech has opened as the clear favorite to capture the 2026 Big 12 football championship, according to the latest betting odds released by FanDuel Sportsbook.
The projection comes despite the off‑field departure of quarterback Brendan Sorsby, who has been entangled in a high‑profile gambling investigation and is now seeking entry into the NFL supplemental draft.
When the season began in April, the Red Raiders were listed at -120, with Utah and BYU trailing at +700. The most recent market shows Texas Tech at +100, while BYU climbs to +600 and Utah settles at +850.
Coach Joey McGuire, who took the helm of the program last season, remains confident that the team can weather the quarterback transition and sustain its championship trajectory.
