Baylor is a vintage bubble team right now, as it has just 17 wins against 12 losses, and it is running out of time to change the minds of the voters in the Selection Committee. Losing here against a 13-16 team would be bad news for the Bears, though obviously, the college basketball odds suggest that it is about a 50/50 proposition. The Longhorns with G Myck Kabongo in the lineup are obviously a heck of a lot better than they are without him, and that has been seen in some wins against teams like the Oklahoma Sooners (who swept Baylor) and the Iowa State Cyclones. It’s a dangerous game for a Baylor outfit that really wants to run, but probably won’t get the chance to in Austin. Without Kabongo in the fold, the Longhorns had the Bears dead to rights in Waco, losing 86-79 in overtime in a game in which UT committed 26 fouls and had two players foul out in the dying minutes of the game or in overtime. Baylor only had 12 whistles against it, and it still was only just barely able to win the game. Texas is 3-1 ATS in the last four in this series, and we think that it improves to 4-1 ATS in the last five with a win that is going to cripple the bubble chances of the Bears.

Baylor vs. Texas Pick: Texas Longhorns +1.5
Baylor vs. Texas Prediction: Texas 69 – Baylor 64

Our official Texas Longhorns vs. Kansas Jayhawks pick is here at Cappers Info, as two great teams get set to square off on the college basketball odds. Join us for all of the great NCAA basketball predictions for what should be another great game on the college basketball schedule tonight!

When you take one look at the Longhorns and the Jayhawks, this really looks like it should be a mismatch. Texas hasn’t won a game on the road this whole season, and it is playing against a team that has now won 34 of its last 35 games here in the Phog. However, this isn’t the same Longhorns team that started at 10-13 at the outset of the campaign. They pulled off the upset of the Iowa State Cyclones in Austin earlier this week, and they now have arguably their best player back in the lineup. G Myck Kabongo has been ineligible all season long, and he has clearly come back ready to go. He is obviously in shape, as he played 35 minutes in that game, though this is going to be his first road trip with the team this year. The problem Texas has in this game is that it just doesn’t have the bigs to be able to keep up with C Jeff Withey. Withey is one of the best pure rebounders and shot blockers in the land, and he is the difference maker in this defense. If Kabongo and G Sheldon McClellan are hitting shots from the outside though, this could be a remarkable game for the Longhorns. We don’t think that UT is quite going to be able to pull off the upset, but we do think that this game is going to end up being a heck of a lot closer than the college basketball point spreads are going to suggest.

Texas vs. Kansas Pick: Texas Longhorns +13.5
Texas vs. Kansas Prediction: Kansas 69 – Texas 65

The time is here for more of our sparkling CBB picks, as we look at the schedule for basketball for Wednesday night. The Kansas State Wildcats and Texas Longhorns will have it in a nationally televised game, which can be seen on the college basketball TV schedule on ESPN.

Location: Fred Bramlage Coliseum, Manhattan, KS
Texas vs. Kansas State Live TV: ESPN2

The Wildcats should have no problems romping to another win on Wednesday night, knowing that this game against Texas is a de facto bye game in the hot and heavy Big XII. It’s a nice spot to back the Cats for sure, knowing that they are going to be given a lot of disrespect by the oddsmakers after losing to Kansas and Iowa State last week. However, the team was a dog in both of those games, and the losses were both competitive games, so we aren’t punishing the Cats by any stretch of the imagination. Texas just flat out stinks offensively. Sure, the team is holding clubs down to just 35.3 percent shooting from the field, but if G Sheldon McClellan gets taken away from this offense, there is no way that the team is going to score 65 points. Texas has covered three in a row, and we expect that the college basketball odds are going to be reflective of that, but that doesn’t mean that it is justified. Head Coach Mack Brown and the gang are under .500 for a reason, and though the team is getting better, the loss of F Jonathan Holmes will really be felt in this one. The men in purple should romp by double digits at home.

Texas vs. Kansas State Pick: Kansas State Wildcats -8.5
Texas vs. Kansas State Prediction: Kansas State 71 – Texas 59

The Jayhawks enter the Frank Erwin Center as the top team in the Big XII and one of the best teams in the entire country. This might be the only team in the conference that legitimately has a chance to win it all this year. The Longhorns meanwhile, are really underachieving and are frankly just overmatched by a number of teams in this conference. Sure, the Horns will figure out how to pick off a few teams here and there, but when push comes to shove, this isn’t even an NIT team in all likelihood. The scoring has been insanely inconsistent in the Big XII this year, as the team has been held to 62 points or fewer in two straight games. We think that this is going to be a spread that is just far too small for this game. The Jayhawks have the superior club, and F Jonathan Holmes isn’t going to be able to come up with the game that can frustrate C Jeff Withey. If Kansas is knocking down even just a few shots from the outside, this game could be a one-sided romp from the get go.

Kansas vs. Texas Pick: Kansas Jayhawks
Kansas vs. Texas Prediction: Kansas 74 – Texas 59

CappersInfo is back with its West Virginia Mountaineers vs. Texas Longhorns picks and predictions, as we look to give you all of the college basketball advice and tips that you need to beat your online sportsbook for this crucial Tuesday night tilt.

Both the Mountaineers and the Longhorns badly underachieved during the non-conference seasons, and now, both are going to be in a heck of a lot of trouble when it comes to getting into the NCAA Tournament. Both teams got off to terrible starts in Big XII play this year, as Texas lost on the road to the Baylor Bears, and the Mountaineers were crushed at home by 10 against the Oklahoma Sooners. There could be better for both as we go on this year, but we just don’t think so. G Javan Felix is the best player on the court on either side, and everyone knows it, as the ‘Neers just don’t have a man that is going to be able to keep up with him. Felix went off for 26 points, nine assists, and five boards in the opener against Baylor, and he played in 43 of the 45 minutes. G Sheldon McClellan has been playing well all year long, as has G Julien Lewis. As long as Texas doesn’t get whipped on the glass, it should be okay in this one, and we expect to see a Longhorns victory by close to double digits.

West Virginia vs. Texas Pick: Texas Longhorns -5

I’ve been studying the ‘total’ for the Alamo Bowl odds for quite some time, and I’m ready to make my Alamo Bowl picks for the clash between the Oregon State Beavers and the Texas Longhorns. The Texas vs. Oregon State kickoff is set for 6:45 p.m. ET at the Alamodome in San Antonio, TX, and I’m going to show you which way to bet on college football to make your CFB pick on for this great game.

2012 Alamo Bowl
Texas Longhorns (8-4, 5-7 ATS) +3.5
Oregon State Beavers (9-3, 8-4 ATS) -3.5
Over/Under 57.5

I never like to back ‘overs’ on teams that don’t have solid starting quarterback situation. If there was a doubt about the situation for Head Coach Mack Brown, he ended his debate by suspending QB Case McCoy for this game. That’s one quarterback problem down, as QB David Ash is going to go from start to finish for the Longhorns barring injury. But the problem that I have is that Oregon State’s quarterback situation is extremely suspect. I expected to see that QB Sean Mannion was going to be the man under center, but in the end, Head Coach Mike Riley has chosen QB Cody Vaz instead. Vaz has the better numbers, but the team just doesn’t seem to respond to his time under center, and that worries me for sure.

The Texas defense also has a heck of a lot to prove. This is a unit that was trampled by the Oklahoma Sooners, the Baylor Bears, the Kansas State Wildcats, and the West Virginia Mountaineers also held the Iowa State Cyclones, Texas Tech Red Raiders, TCU Horned Frogs, and Kansas Jayhawks down. It is a unit that has a heck of a lot of potential and some real NFL talent on it, but thanks to the Big XII schedule, the numbers just aren’t all that great. Oregon State too, has some defenders that could ultimately make it to the next level, and it wasn’t a mistake that 10 of the 12 teams on the slate were held down to 27 points or fewer.

In the end, this ‘total’ is just far too high. It’s tough to not notice the 72 combined points in the Civil War against the Oregon Ducks and the 76 combined points against the Cal Golden Bears in Oregon State games. It’s also tough to see how a Texas defense that was crushed for so many big time performances is going to step up to the task in this one against a Pac-12 opponent that has the ability to score so many points. But throw in a murky quarterback quandary for both teams and the fact that these defenses have some real talent, and the makings are right for the Alamo Bowl to be a bit of a low scoring bowl game that could go either way.

Texas vs. Oregon State Picks & Tips: Under 57.5

The 2012 Alamo Bowl picks are set to go here at Cappers Info, and we are ready to make our free bowl picks for all of the games on the schedule. Check out the Texas vs. Oregon State picks and predictions for what should be a remarkable game.

Alamo Bowl Picks: Texas Longhorns vs. Oregon State Beavers
Date: Saturday, December 29th, 6:45 ET
Location: Alamodome, San Antonio, TX
Alamo Bowl Betting Odds: Oregon State -3.5
Texas vs. Oregon State Live TV Coverage: ESPN

The Longhorns and the Beavers both started this year in different directions. Texas was ranked 15th in the nation in both of the polls, while Oregon State didn’t get a single vote in either poll until Week 4. In the end though, this has been a great year for the Beavs, who won nine of their 12 outings, and a questionable year for the Horns, who went 8-4. There isn’t much of a difference here between these two records, but Oregon State clearly overachieved, while at least in the eyes of the fans in Austin, UT underachieved to the point that Head Coach Mack Brown might be on a bit of a hot season going into next year.

Both of these teams went through a pair of quarterbacks this year. The Longhorns have no quarterback controversy left, as QB Case McCoy has been sent home after violating team rules during the bowl week. That means that QB David Ash is going to have the ball from start to finish, and that might ultimately help out the Horns in what should be a de facto home game playing in the Lone Star State. Ash was an embattled quarterback all season long, but he did complete 67.7 percent of his passes for 2,458 yards with 17 TDs against seven picks. QB Cody Vaz is going to get the start in the Alamo Bowl for the Beavers. He might have completed a slightly smaller percent of his passes than QB Sean Mannion, but he also had an 11/1 TD/INT ratio, as opposed to a 15/13 TD/INT ratio that Mannion had.

The move for Head Coach Mike Riley to go with Vaz as opposed to Mannion might ultimately come back to bite the team on the backside. Oregon State lost three of its last five games played against FBS foes this year, and it really has more or less come back to earth after beating up on a bunch of suspect teams at the start of the season. Texas lost its last two games, but it also had some big wins against some big teams in the Big XII. This isn’t a game against a solid team like the Oklahoma Sooners, nor is it a game against a team with a ridiculous high octane offense like the West Virginia Mountaineers. In a de facto home game right up the road in San Antonio, it feels like Texas is going to win this game.

Texas vs. Oregon State Pick: Texas Longhorns +3.5
Alamo Bowl Score Prediction: Texas 24 – Oregon State 20

CappersInfo is back with its Texas Longhorns vs. Michigan State Spartans picks and predictions, as we look to give you all of the college basketball advice and tips that you need to beat your online sportsbook for this crucial Saturday night tilt.

For weeks and weeks, the Longhorns were considered one of the bigger jokes in the country. They really made a name for themselves when they knocked off the North Carolina Tar Heels by 18 point in Austin just a few days ago though, and now, they might be considered a worthy team of going into East Lansing and competing with the Spartans. Not so fast. The Spartans are playing well, and they have just two losses on the campaign. They haven’t beaten a team of this caliber in quite some time though, and they’ll be thrilled to have the challenge for sure. Head Coach Tom Izzo thrives in games like this, and his team is 8-2 ATS in its last 10 games against Big XII opponents. G Sheldon McClellan and G Javan Felix aren’t going to be enough to keep up with the likes of G Keith Appling, F Derrick Nix, and the rest of the Spartans, who are ready for a signature victory to carry them into the holidays.

Texas vs. Michigan State Pick: Michigan State Spartans
Texas vs. Michigan State Prediction: Michigan State 68 – Texas 54

The time is here for more of our sparkling CBB picks, as we look at the schedule for basketball for Tuesday night. The Georgetown Hoyas and Texas Longhorns will have it in a nationally televised game, which can be seen on the college basketball TV schedule on ESPN.

Free College Hoops Picks: Texas Longhorns vs. Georgetown Hoyas
Date: Tuesday, December 4th, 7:00 ET
Location: Madison Square Garden, New York, NY
Texas vs. Georgetown Live TV: ESPN

We had the displeasure of watching that hideous game between the Hoyas and the Tennessee Volunteers over the weekend, and we have to hope that this game just isn’t a repeat of that situation. These two teams are both very defensive minded, but are clear ways to see how both of these offenses are due to score a heck of a lot more in the way of points. Georgetown is one of the more efficient teams in the land, knowing that all three of its top scorers shoot the ball at least 49 percent from the floor. Texas meanwhile, should be getting a whole heck of a lot more out of Javan Felix, who is shooting less than 10% from beyond the arc and only just above 30% from the field. If Felix can figure out how to get something going, there is no reason to think that UT won’t be able to at least get to 55 or so in this game, and if that turns out to be the case, we really think that this one is going to get past the ‘total’.

Texas vs. Georgetown Pick: Over 117
Texas vs. Georgetown Prediction: Georgetown 62 – Texas 58

College football betting fans are running to their online sportsbooks to place their Texas Longhorns vs. Kansas State bets and predictions, and here at Cappers Info, we are making our Saturday football picks for this encounter.

Week 13 College Football Picks: Texas Longhorns @ Kansas State Wildcats
Date: Saturday, December 1st, 8:00 ET
Location: Bill Snyder Family Stadium, Manhattan, KS
CFB Betting Odds: Kansas State -10.5
Texas vs. Kansas State Live TV: ABC

We’re expecting to see a heck of a party atmosphere on Saturday night in the Little Apple, knowing that Kansas State is on the verge of a BCS bowl bid and a trip to the Fiesta Bowl. However, we really aren’t all that sure that the team is going to be able to beat such a big number against a Texas team that has a lot to prove and a lot to play for. The Longhorns were able to shut down QB Collin Klein last year, holding he and his teammates to just 121 total yards of offense. The truth of the matter is that this Texas defense hasn’t played as well this year as it did a campaign ago, and Klein and his mates are a lot more refined now than they were before. However, QB Case McCoy might be the shot in the arm that this team needs to be able to keep the ball moving. We think that the Wildcats are going to win this game, and there isn’t going to be all that much doubt about it in the end, but to cover such a huge number, especially in a series in which the Longhorns are really looking for some revenge after three straight losses, just doesn’t seem likely.

Texas @ Kansas State Pick: Texas Longhorns +10.5

The 2012 college football season is back, and here at Cappers Info, we’ll be looking at some of the best games on the docket each and every week, as we try to make the most money possible off of the CFB odds for the week. Join us on Thursday night, as we make our TCU Horned Frogs @ Texas Longhorns free picks and predictions for what should be a great clash on the gridiron.

Week 13 College Football Picks: TCU Horned Frogs @ Texas Longhorns
Date: Thursday, November 22nd, 7:30 ET
Location: Royal Texas Memorial Stadium, Austin, TX
CFB Betting Odds: Texas -8
TCU @ Texas Live TV: ESPN

QB Trevon Boykin is going to have his work cut out for him in this one. He is going to be leading his Horned Frogs into battle against a Texas team that is quite good defensively. The Longhorns really looked to figure it out a week and a half ago versus the Iowa State Cyclones when they held ISU down to just a single touchdown and outgained it by 332 total yards. Since allowing 113 points in a span of seven days to Oklahoma and West Virginia, Texas has settled down and held the last three foes to a total of just 46 points, scoring a total of 64 in the last two weeks. TCU is a solid team, but it has its six wins already and really doesn’t need to have this one. The Longhorns though, have to have this if they want a shot at a 10-win season and a chance to go to the BCS. It won’t be easy, but we see this as a two score game when push comes to shove.

TCU @ Texas Pick: Texas -8
TCU @ Texas Score Prediction: Texas 28 – TCU 17

Of all of the games on the Thursday 11/22 college football betting schedule, one of my favorite is the clash between the TCU Horned Frogs and the Texas Longhorns. Join me for my Week 12 tips for this 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff that can be seen on ESPN.

TCU Horned Frogs (6-4, 4-6 ATS) +8.5
Texas Longhorns (8-2, 5-5 ATS) -8.5
Over/Under Off

The feeling is there that Texas is clearly the better of these two teams from the Lone Star State, but I’m just not all that sure that this is the case. This could be a game that turns out to be closer than the college football experts think.

One look at the Texas schedule gives proof that this is a weak 8-2 team. Sure, there are notable road wins against Okie State and Texas Tech, but this team also struggled with Kansas and Baylor and took on no one out of conference play. TCU didn’t face much either, but it has still played relatively well. The loss to Kansas State at home is a loss with no shame attached to it, and the road test in Stillwater came later in the season when the Cowboys were in a lot better shape, as opposed to when they took on the Longhorns. The Horned Frogs crushed Baylor on the road and beat West Virginia on the road in overtime, too.

The question in my eyes is whether the Longhorns can really put this team away. They really haven’t been able to shake many teams of late, though the win a week and a half ago versus Iowa State was a good indication that it is at least possible. But is it something that is going to happen with any sort of regularity? I tend to doubt it. Take the points.

TCU @ Texas Tips: TCU Horned Frogs +8
