Why Bet on the Texas Longhorns?

The Longhorns scored 34 points or more in 4 of their last 5 regular season games. The only team to keep the Horns from 34 was TCU, which beat Texas 17-10.

Texas averages 35.7 points per game from 430.3 yards each contest. Bijan Robinson, one of the top running backs in the nation, will take a seat.

But Quinn Ewers will play. Ewers is Texas’ top quarterback until Arch Manning steps into Austin. He’ll ensure the Longhorns move the football.

The Horns’ D had some good moments. The Longhorns’ defense also had some bad moments. The good moments were holding Kansas to 14, West Virginia to 20, and Iowa State to 21. The bad moments were allowing Texas Tech to score 37 in a loss and giving up 41 to Oklahoma State in a loss.

Overall, Texas allows a shade over 21 points per game. Jaylen Ford led the team with 4 interceptions.

Why Bet on the Washington Huskies?

Washington’s defense played okay during the regular season. The Huskies allowed 26.8 points from 368.8 total yards per game.
