Since the Alamo Bowl matchup has been set as the Texas Longhorns vs. the Utah Utes, the money line, spread, and total have continuously moved. On December 9 at BetMGM, the money line opened at Texas +210, the spread at Texas +6.5, and the total at 55.0. Since then, there have been a few aberrations including a quick shift to Texas +7.
More recently, there has been a swing in the odds in Texas’ favor, meaning that a lot of last-minute money came in on the Longhorns. Just 45 minutes before kickoff, the money line shifted from Texas +225 to Texas +210, the spread from Texas +7 to Texas +6.5, and the total from 55.0 to 55.5.
Time will tell if putting any money on Texas was worth it, but at least one person is in big on Utah.
