After opening as 7.5 point favorites on Monday, the spread has dropped one point per BetMGM. Texas is now only favored by 6.5, meaning they can cover the spread by beating West Virginia by a touchdown.

This will mark the fourth occasion the Longhorns will going into the game as the favorite. Texas is 1-3-1 against the spread this season, only covering against UTEP in the season opener.

A win would be the Longhorns’ first Big 12 three-game winning streak since Nov. 2018 against Texas Tech, Iowa State, and Kansas. Tom Herman will once again be coaching to maintain his job for the rest of the season. A loss would be the second at home.

For West Virginia, they have gone on the road twice this year and lost both matchups. The first came against Oklahoma State, losing by two scores. On Oct. 24, the Mountaineers had a shocking loss in Lubbock, dropping one against Texas Tech.

It should be a fun one with the best scoring defense in the Big 12 coming to visit the best scoring offense in the Big 12.
