Texas vs San Jose State Prediction
There’s obviously a massive gap in talent, and a beat down by Texas wouldn’t surprise anybody. Texas should have a chip on its shoulder after a subpar showing against Ohio State. However, Texas is still breaking in a new quarterback and this is a huge number even if the rosters don’t stack up.
San Jose State has been an underwhelming program for a while, but it competes most nights and is actually 11-3 ATS in its last 14 games as a double-digit underdog. Since 2016, San Jose State is 5-2 ATS as an underdog of 30 or more points. Give me San Jose State and the points.
