Texas vs. Washington Spread

Texas -3 is the predominant number, with all major sportsbooks offering identical -110 odds on both the favored Longhorns and Washington +3.

The Longhorns made their offensive bones on a formidable rush attack that ranked 16th in the nation in yards per attempt (5.30) and 26th in yards per game (199.6). They also boasted one of the top red-zone success rates in the nation, converting at an 89.1% clip.

But Texas might very well meet its match as it faces a Huskies unit that finished tied for fourth in the nation in scoring at nearly 41 points per game. Washington's air-it-out attack produced the highest passing yards average in the FBS at an absurd 376.7 yards per game.

Texas vs. Washington Over/Under

You'll find a total ranging between 65.5 and 67 in most spots, with FanDuel coming in on the low end (but offering the O65.5 at an unfriendly -118).

If the offensive accolades listed above weren't enough to convince you that this total is legit, consider that both defenses allowed opposing quarterbacks to complete more than 63.5% of their passes in 2022. That had both clubs ranked outside the top 100 in that stat.

The total opened at 64.5 and jumped to 68.5 before we started to see some buyback on the Under, which moved the line back down.
