Texas is hosting Baylor and looking to rebound after two tough conference losses. Here is how to bet and how you can watch.
The Texas Longhorns got off to an exciting 2-0 start, but are now 2-2 after a bye week in which the team got to reflect about a heartbreaking four-overtime loss to Oklahoma.
Baylor is just trying to play in general after having three games postponed this season due to COVID-19. The Bears last played on October 3 in what ended up as a 27-21 loss to West Virginia. A win over lowly Kansas is the only real positive for the team this season.

The over seems to be the safe bet here. The Longhorns are averaging just over 49 points per game this season. One note about their total is they have played in two overtime games this season. Baylor also went to overtime once and that is not something to ignore. Take the over on this one even with the Bears having all this time off. The offenses are too explosive to not eclipse 61 points.
The spread is a different story. Texas is 1-2 in conference play this year and the win, over Texas Tech, came by a touchdown in overtime. The defense hasn’t done much in Big 12 play and the Baylor offense has had plenty of time to prepare. A nine-point margin is just too high to trust with Texas.
