Texas (13-2) vs Ohio State (12-2)
Friday, January 10, 2025 at 7:30 pm
At 7:30 pm, on Friday, our selection is on the Texas Longhorns + the points over Ohio St. The Buckeyes have rebounded nicely off their upset loss to Michigan, with back to back blowout wins over Tennessee and Oregon. Texas, meanwhile, has also rebounded off its SEC Championship game loss to Georgia with wins over Clemson and Arizona State (though it took overtime to defeat the Sun Devils). I like Texas + the points, as SEC Conference teams have gone 55-29 ATS as an underdog of +3 (or more) points in the Bowls, if they weren't off 3+ wins. Even better: Ohio State is a horrid 4-12 ATS away from Columbus, Ohio vs. SEC Conference foes, including 1-10 ATS when it wasn't getting more than 4 points. Take Texas. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
