Texas State vs Texas Picks & Props
TXST vs TEX Picks
NCAAF PicksGiven their slow start to last season (0-3 against the spread in its first three games), I'm expecting Texas to make a statement in Week 1 and to put a 50-burger on the Texas State Bobcats Saturday.
The Longhorns have beaten the brakes off inferior, non-conference opponents in recent years, featuring a 55-0 win over Sam Houston State last season and three 48+ victories over non-Power 4 schools in 2024.
Texas QB Arch Manning has more than enough help with last year's team leader in catches, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns, WR Ryan Wingo, and preseason first-team All-America WR Cam Coleman.
Bobcats dual-threat QB Brad Jackson and his two 1,000+ yard receivers, Beau Sparks and Chris Dawn, returned this season. Texas State should be up against it Saturday and their offense will be desperate to keep up with the Longhorns.
