Bold predictions for No. 24 Texas vs. No. 13 Kansas State

Time to get BOLD.

A top-25 matchup between two Big 12 Conference foes is set to take place on Saturday.

No. 24 Texas travels to No. 13 Kansas State for an intriguing battle with conference title implications.

The Longhorns are in desperate need of a bounce-back win in Manhattan. Texas is coming off a 41-34 loss to a beat-up Oklahoma State squad. Steve Sarkisian must turn around his road woes as Texas’ head coach.

Texas’ last true road win came against TCU back in Oct. of 2021.

Kansas State enters this game on a high note. The Wildcats torched the same Oklahoma State team that beat Texas 48-0 last week. Backup quarterback Will Howard enjoyed a breakout performance, throwing four touchdowns in the blowout victory.

The winner of this game has an inside track on playing for the Big 12 championship game. Texas’ last conference title appearance was in 2018 while Kansas State last qualified back in 2003.

Here are five bold predictions for Texas’ road showdown vs. Kansas State this weekend.

Five bold predictions for No. 20 Texas vs. No. 11 Oklahoma State

Time to be BOLD.

A clash between two of the best teams in the Big 12 Conference is on the horizon as No. 20 Texas (5-2, 3-1) travels to No. 11 Oklahoma State (5-1, 2-1) on Saturday.

This crucial top-25 matchup is set to have significant Big 12 title implications as we approach the second half of the season.

ESPN’s FPI gives Texas an 66% chance to take down the Cowboys in this one. The Longhorns enter as six-point favorites, despite being ranked lower and on the road.

Texas escaped a tight battle at home vs. Iowa State last weekend to add to its three-game winning streak. The Longhorns were not quite clicking on all cylinders but managed to emerge victorious.

Oklahoma State is coming off its first loss of the season at the hands of TCU. The Cowboys held a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter before falling in overtime.

Final score predictions for Saints vs. Vikings in Week 4

Final score predictions for Saints vs. Vikings in Week 4, via @DillySanders, @RossJacksonNOLA, and @john_siglerr:

Our final score predictions for the New Orleans Saints’ Week 4 game with the Minnesota Vikings don’t favor the black and gold. The 1-2 Saints are reeling from injuries at a number of positions, while the 2-1 Vikings are looking to keep building momentum in a crowded NFC North title fight. There could be a change under center for New Orleans with Andy Dalton taking over for the banged-up Jameis Winston, but whoever starts at quarterback will be facing a tough Minnesota offense. With all that in mind, here are our final score predictions plus a bold prediction for the game:

Five bold predictions for Texas vs. West Virginia

Here are five bold predictions for Texas’ vital Big 12 Conference game vs. West Virginia. 

Texas is set to host West Virginia this weekend in what feels like a must-win matchup early in the season.

Both programs enter the game with identical 2-2 records, looking to avoid dropping to 0-2 in Big 12 Conference play. Texas was upset on the road at Texas Tech a week ago while West Virginia is coming off a comfortable win over Virginia Tech.

The Longhorns are still awaiting the injury status of quarterback Quinn Ewers and wide receiver Xavier Worthy. Ewers has not played since leaving the Alabama game in Week 2 with an SC sprain. Worthy is considered day-to-day with an ankle injury suffered against Texas Tech.

Texas’ defense faces another tough task after getting picked apart by Texas Tech last week.

West Virginia features a new-look offensive approach this season. Graham Harrell calling plays along with JT Daniels at quarterback have the Mountaineers averaging 42 points per game.

ESPN’s FPI gives Texas an 85.1% chance to take down West Virginia this weekend. A win keeps the Longhorns’ Big 12 title hopes alive entering the Red River Shootout.

Here are five bold predictions for Texas’ vital Big 12 Conference game vs. West Virginia.
