The Texas Longhorns are riding a six-game winning streak, which includes a 47-40 overtime victory over the West Virginia Mountaineers as 6.5-point road favorites last Saturday.

Over the last two-plus seasons, the Longhorns are 5-6 straight up and against the spread as underdogs, with the OVER going 6-5 in that situation.

Prediction

I'm going to recommend that readers play the total, as the OVER is 6-1 in the Texas Longhorns' last seven games after they threw for 280 or more yards in their previous contest.
