Texas and Texas Tech are set to kick off at 2:30 CT on Saturday in Lubbock. When betting lines opened up earlier this week the Longhorns were 16.5 point favorites according to BetMGM . As the kickoff grows nearer, the line has moved ever so slightly.
Betting Line: Texas (-17.5)
Over/Under: 69.5
The oddsmakers in Vegas are expected a shootout in Lubbock with almost 70 points scored between the two teams. In a game like this they think it would be a 45-24 type game in favor of Texas. Of course last season the 49-24 score would cover the line as well as the over in this game.
