• 🏈 NCAA Football: Texas vs. Ohio State

  Pick: Ohio State to win -118 (2u)

  Analysis: The season’s biggest opener features No. 1 Texas traveling to Columbus to face No. 3 Ohio State in a rematch of last year’s CFP semifinal. Texas hands the keys to Arch Manning in his first true test, but he’ll be behind a rebuilt offensive line that lost four starters and struggled badly in preseason scrimmages. That’s a recipe for trouble against an OSU defense that ranked No. 1 in yards allowed last season and just added portal star Beau Atkinson to an already loaded front seven under new DC Matt Patricia. With the Horseshoe rocking, Texas may find themselves in too many long downs against a disguised, NFL-caliber defense.

  On the other side, Ryan Day rolls out five-star QB Julian Sayin, who inherits a system returning weapons like Jeremiah Smith, Carnell Tate, and TE Max Klare. The Buckeyes’ passing attack will test a Texas secondary that lost key starters and leans on portal help up front to stop the run. With OSU’s offensive line bolstered by transfers and Texas still unproven at generating pressure, Sayin should find success early. Add in OSU’s 9–0 home record last year and the revenge angle swinging their way, and the matchup tilts toward the Buckeyes in Week 1.

** See more about units below

A "unit" typically ranging from 1% to 5% of your total bankroll, and serves as a standard measure for the amount wagered on each bet. Smaller bankrolls typically use 1% or less per unit, larger bankrolls can go up to 2% for balanced risk, and experienced bettors may bet 3% or more per unit. For example, if your bankroll is $1,000 and you set one unit as 2% ($20), you would bet $20 for each unit.
