Texas football and West Virginia football will battle for Big 12 supremacy on Saturday.

We have an underrated game on our hands between West Virginia football and Texas football.

The No. 22 Texas Longhorns (4-2) will host the West Virginia Mountaineers (4-2) for an early afternoon kickoff in Week 10. Though both Big 12 schools have a pair of conference losses on the season, the winner of this one in Austin has a decent chance to make it to the Big 12 Championship game in Arlington in a few weeks. Could it be the Longhorns or the Mountaineers?

Here is how to watch West Virginia vs. No. 22 Texas online.

Odds are from Odds Shark.

Do not be shocked if this is one of the better games of the early window on Saturday afternoon. Both offense can put up points, so we will have a little bit of a good, old-fashioned Big 12 shootout on our hands. This one will go back and forth. We will not know who is going to win this very important Big 12 game until the final possession. Which team comes out on top in Austin?

Of course, the over is going to hit on this one. The question is if Texas will win and cover. Sam Ehlinger will lead a drive to put the Longhorns up in front by four points late in the fourth quarter. With the game on the line, Texas will pick off Jarret Doege within striking distance of the red zone to secure the victory for the Longhorns. Texas wins, but West Virginia covers the 5.5-point spread.

Prediction: Texas 34, West Virginia 30.
