Texas Longhorns at Arkansas Razorbacks SBG Odds Overview
Above all, Texas is far more of a public offshore betting brand. In comparison, the Razorbacks are a sharp’s type of team. To illuminate, Arkansas brings ability and is under the radar.
Texas Longhorns Team Overview
Last week the Texas Longhorns scored a 38-18 home win over the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns as 8.5-point favorites. And then the game went under the total of 58. Specifically, it was a successful debut of new Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian. Sarkisian was previously head coach of the Washington Huskies and USC Trojans. Now, as he takes the Texas job, he is a much more mature leader.
Louisiana entered Austin, believing they could pull off the upset. But the Longhorns were up for the challenge. Bijan Robinson finished with 103 rushing yards, 73 receiving yards, and two touchdowns for the Longhorns. While quarterback Hudson Card began his college career in earnest, notching his first passing and rushing touchdowns.
Arkansas Razorbacks Team Overview
Last week the Arkansas Razorbacks scored a 38-17 home win over the Rice Owls. Arkansas were 19.5-point favorites, with the game going over the total of 50.5. The Razorbacks trailed at halftime against a Rice team that hasn’t beaten a power-conference opponent since 2013. As a result, the first full-capacity game at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in two seasons booed its Hogs. But Arkansas then scored on five of its last six possessions of the game and ended up winning a rout.
