TT vs QT mixes a pair with an overlapping overcard, so an out on each side is already in someone's hand. TT wins 64.5%, QT wins 33.5%, and 2.0% of boards chop. That blocking effect is why TT is a firmer 1.9-to-1 favorite than a straight pair-vs-two-overcards race.
Here's the intuition behind 65.5% to 34.5%: TT wins roughly 2 of every 3 times the chips go in, but the underdog cashing 34.5% of the time is exactly why you can't slow-play and let it draw for free.
