Betting on the Texas Longhorns (-16.5)
Regular season record: 4-0
Like the Jayhawks, Quinn Ewers and the Longhorns are off to a blazing start to the season. Texas is now 4-0 in the 2023 campaign after defeating the Baylor Bears in Waco over the weekend, 38-6. Ewers went 18/23 for 293 passing yards and a touchdown with zero interceptions in that game, while Jonathon Brooks went off for 106 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries.
Texas’ attack has been consistently making things happen and should have enough tools to keep in step with Kansas’ high-octane offense. That could be made easier by Texas’ defense which has the potential to cripple the Jayhawks’ offense. Texas is allowing just 12.5 points per game and recording 1.8 takeaways per game. At the same time, Texas doesn’t turn the ball over often, only averaging 0.8 giveaways per contest.
El Jefe’s Prediction on Kansas Jayhawks vs Texas Longhorns
Kansas will be more than a handful to deal with for the Longhorns, but Texas will prevail thanks to its run game and stingy defense.
Prediction:
Texas wins, 43-27.
