TCU Horned Frogs vs. Texas Longhorns NCAAF Betting Preview (11-12-2022)

Last week the Texas Longhorns scored an impressive win and payout at the Kansas State Wildcats. Texas has had its College Football betting highs and lows this year. There was a recent boat race win over the Oklahoma Sooners. Counter to that was a near miss against the Alabama Crimson Tide. Also, there were astounding flops against the Texas Tech Red Raiders and Oklahoma State Cowboys. Those were games that should have been won. Hence the win over K-State showed the country that Texas might finally be turning the corner.
