How will Texas College Football teams fare in 2016? Gambling911.com has the latest odds for the Texas Longhorns, Baylor Bears, Texas A&M Aggies, TCU Horned Frogs and the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
From the New York Times:
Austin's self-proclaimed weirdness doesn’t stop Texas from dominating the country’s richest college football state. From Galveston to Laredo to Amarillo, unless there's another campus nearby, you are likely Hooking ‘Em. The same is true in parts of Colorado and New Mexico. The other major Texas programs hold serve in their hometowns: College Station (Texas A&M), Waco (Baylor), Fort Worth (Texas Christian), Lubbock (Texas Tech), and even El Paso (UTEP). Only Southern Methodist, handed the “death penalty” by the N.C.A.A. in 1987, fails to break through. And now Mack Brown, the former Longhorns coach, is reportedly considering becoming S.M.U.'s next coach.
Texas was heavily favored to win OVER 7 at -185.
Texas A&M was heavily favored to win OVER 6.5 regular season games at -200. Six or fewer victories will pay out $165 on a $100 bet.
Texas Tech was listed at -135 to win OVER 6.5 regular season games in 2016.
Baylor is slated to win 8.5 regular season games with oddsmakers favoring the OVER at -130. The UNDER pays EVEN dollar.
TCU was priced at -150 to win more than 8.5 regular season games in 2016. They had the 14th shortest odds (40-1) of winning the National Football Championship.
Regular season wins total betting was not available for UTEP at most books.
