Texas at Ohio State Preview & Picks
Texas are tipped to cover as betting underdogs in this rematch from last season’s playoffs.
Both teams have lost key talent and have inexperienced quarterbacks at the controls, meaning a run-heavy matchup could chew up the clock and limit scoring, keeping it close.
- Ohio State are 5-2-0 ATS in their last 7 non-conference games
- The Under has cashed in each of the last 3 meetings
- The Under has hit in 8 of Texas’ last 12 games (1 push)
- The Under has cashed in 7 of Ohio State’s last 9 regular season games
Head To Head
- The all-time series is tied at 2-2
- Ohio State won 28-14 when the two teams last met in January 2025
Texas Form
Texas enter the 2025 campaign looking to challenge for the National Championship, having fallen short in the playoffs last season.
The Longhorns went 11-1 during the regular season a year ago, and despite the loss to Georgia that was enough for them to earn their place in the SEC Championship Game.
They came up short against Georgia again in the conference championship, losing 22-19, but they had done enough to secure a place in the revamped playoffs.
Texas downed Clemson in the first round, winning 38-24, and they advanced from the Peach Bowl thanks to a 39-31 victory over Arizona State.
However, the Longhorns’ run was ended at the semi-final stage, as they were beaten 28-14 by Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl.
Ohio State Form
Ohio State head into the 2025 season as he defending national champions in College Football.
The Buckeyes went all the way in 2024, despite suffering a couple of defeats during the regular season and missing out on the Big Ten Championship Game.
They rallied from the shock 13-10 defeat to bitter rivals Michigan by blowing out Tennessee in the first round of the playoffs, 42-17.
Ohio State then upset Oregon in the Rose Bowl, winning 41-21, before taking down Texas in the Cotton Bowl, 28-14.
That left only Notre Dame standing between the Buckeyes and the national crown, and they would not be denied as they beat the Fighting Irish 34-23.
Verdict
We expect both teams to lean on the run game to support their inexperienced quarterbacks.
This is likely to lead to a low-scoring matchup, and for that reason we are taking the free points and a Texas team that looks set to be very strong on defense this year.
