Texas vs Northwestern State Prediction

This is a potential look ahead spot for the Texas Longhorns, but they’re playing elite ball at both ends, it probably doesn’t matter. We’ve seen Texas cover three straight games, and the last two games were lines greater than 30 points. Still, seeing Texas A&M, Auburn, and Tennessee on deck, it would be human nature to get caught looking ahead. The Northwestern State Demons just don’t have the offensive horses to compete with Texas, and we’ve seen it against games like Oklahoma, LSU, and Teas Tech. The Longhorns should make light work on Sunday afternoon.
