Here are the sports betting trends that are related to online sportsbook action:
- Baylor has won four of its last six games SU
- Baylor has covered two of its last nine games
- Baylor has covered two of its last seven road games
- Baylor has lost five of its last seven road games SU
- Baylor has played eleven of its last 16 road games OVER the total

- Texas has covered eight of its last nine games
- Texas has played its last six games UNDER the total
- Texas has won 14 of its last 15 home games SU
- Texas has played four of its last six home games UNDER the total
Right now, Texas is playing as well as any team in the country, and we say that without making too much of an apology to Ohio State. Online sportsbook fans can see that the Longhorns have been stopping everybody, as they are now at 36.3% field goals allowed. They have won their last nine games, all by eleven points or more, and four of those games came against nationally-ranked teams.
These are the head-to-head trends in the online sportsbook:
- Seven of the last eight meetings have gone OVER the total
- Baylor has won and covered four of the last five meetings
- Texas has won 13 of the last 15 meetings SU as the home team
- Five of the last seven meetings in Austin have gone OVER the total
- Texas has had the rebounding edge in seven of the last nine meetings
Baylor was very formidable last year, when they had Epke Udoh up front. They completing a three-game sweep over Texas in the Big 12 tournament. So naturally this is a revenge game for the ‘Horns in online sportsbook action. Baylor has brought in Perry Jones to team with Quincy Acy in the paint, but the talented freshman could get taken to school by Texas’ board-bangers. Besides, Jordan Hamilton, the 6’7" swingman who can do almost anything, is the best player on the floor. Watch the ‘Horns control LaceDarius Dunn out on the perimeter.
Texas is taking no prisoners this year; they are 15-3 ATS in the online sportsbook odds, and looking to draw blood. We’d lay the points with the ‘Horns, and perhaps look for the "under" as well.
JAY’S PLAY: TEXAS BY 22
