This is a 10* BIG 12 GOM on Texas.

The Big 12 Championship game features two really good teams, but one's a lot better than the other. And that's why we have a really big spread here.

There are a lot of implications for each side here, but the biggest one is that if Texas wins this game, then it'll be on the short-list for a CFP spot.

If you're wagering on this game, you likely already know the cast of characters on each team and the strengths and weaknesses from each side.

Texas probably doesn't deserve a spot in the CFP, but I do think it can get the job done here. I just can't see the Cowboys keeping pace down the stretch. The Longhorns lost to OKST last year by a score of 41-34 as 6.5-point favorites, and that fact also leads me to believe that they'll keep the foot on the gas here from start to finish.

In my opinion, this will turn out to be a rout once it's all said and done.

Lay the points, the play is TEXAS.

Good luck, NP
