College football odds, picks and prediction for Texas Longhorns vs Houston Cougars. Week 8 betting free pick and game analysis.
The Texas Longhorns are prohibitive road favorites over the Houston Cougars, and running back Jonathon Brooks is a big reason why. Our college football betting picks expect him to stuff the stat sheet on Saturday.While it may not be a great game on paper, there’s boosters across the great state of Texas who have a lot invested in this contest, literally.
Despite the loss to the Sooners two weeks ago, Texas has been one of the most impressive teams in the country from top to bottom. They have a star quarterback, a plethora of playmakers, and a loaded front seven. With the way Houston defensive coordinator Doug Belk’s unit has played this season, he might be Holgorsen’s sacrificial lamb if things don’t get turned around quickly. The Cougars are 111th in EPA per play on defense and 107th in EPA per rush.
Sarkisian knows he’s got a superstar in the making that he can lean on when the going gets tough too. An early Brooks touchdown will set Texas up for a day of beating up on a lesser little brother of a team. Offensively, Texas is 21st in EPA per play with matchups across the board to take advantage of both on the ground and through the air.
