T.M. Selection: Ohio State / Texas - UNDER

I am on the UNDER in the Texas Longhorns vs Ohio State Buckeyes game on Friday, January 10th. With how strong both of these defenses are, both of these offenses will struggle. Both defensive units are strong against the pass and I expect a lot of running play calls with both offensive units for this bowl game. We absolutely should see an emphasis on the rushing attack so the clock should be running for most of this game. Each defense is strong enough to hold their opponent to only a few scoring drives and, by that, I mean including field goals. The Longhorns, excluding OT points, have allowed an average of only 13.6 points per game this season. The Buckeyes are allowing only 12 ppg this season. Even if you had a TD to that number and evening adding 10 points to the Texas points allowed total, you still arrive at a 24-19 final. That is what I am calling for here, as you can see with my prediction below, and you can understand why this is such a strong play given the extra cushion we have with these numbers. Simply put, neither team has been giving up many points in almost all their games this season. Defensive struggle ensues here. Give me the UNDER.

T.M. Prediction: 24-19 Ohio State.

Line: O/U 53.5

Line Parameter: play until 56.0...
