The UTSA Roadrunners (1-1) visit the Texas Longhorns (2-0) Saturday. Kickoff from DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium is set for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the UTSA vs. Texas odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
UTSA was smacked 49-10 by the Texas State Bobcats Saturday while failing to cover as a 2.5-point underdog. The Roadrunners’ offense struggled as QB Eddie Lee Marburger threw for only 147 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT on 14-of-27 passing and RB Robert Henry picked up only 26 yards on 9 carries.
Texas is coming off a 31-12 blowout victory over the Michigan Wolverines Saturday while covering as a 6.5-point favorite. The Longhorns outgained the Wolverines 389-284 and forced 3 turnovers while committing none.

UTSA at Texas picks and predictions
Prediction
Texas 51, UTSA 3
Moneyline
PASS.
There’s no line available for a reason — it would be unplayable. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.
Against the spread
BET TEXAS -35.5 (-115).
Texas beat a very solid Colorado State team 52-0 in Week 1 and then dispatched the defending champion Wolverines, so the Longhorns should have no problem covering as -35.5 favorites in this matchup. UTSA also was just blown out by 39 by a much inferior team than this Texas squad, so look for that to continue here. Texas should not have much difficulty in this game.
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 55.5 (-110).
Texas will blow out the Roadrunners, but I am not sure that I trust the Longhorns to score enough to carry this game to hit the Over. They have not hit an Over number this high yet. The Texas defense will also enjoy plenty of success vs. UTSA, so you can’t count on the Roadrunners to be able to push this game to hit the Over.
