On paper, the Texas Longhorns should roll through the Arkansas Razorbacks this Saturday. Texas is deeper, healthier, more balanced, and positioned for a possible postseason push. Oddsmakers reflect that confidence, setting the Longhorns as an 8.5 to 9.5–point favorite. But games aren’t played on paper.
They’re played between the sidelines, and this matchup has all the ingredients for chaos, especially with defensive star Anthony Hill expected to miss the game. Texas’ inconsistency this season makes the outcome far less predictable than the spread suggests.
