Baylor is playing only its third game of the season due to COVID cancellations, and the Bears haven't played since Oct. 3 when they lost 27-21 in double overtime at West Virginia. Texas hasn't played since its heartbreaking four-overtime loss to Oklahoma two weeks ago and the Longhorns have allowed an average of 47.3 points their last three games, which also included an OT win over Texas Tech. Baylor came up just short on a fourth-and-goal play in regulation and then turned it over in the second overtime in the loss to the Mountaineers. Quarterback Charlie Brewer finished 23 of 38 with touchdowns and two interceptions and the Bears couldn't get anything going on the ground. Nevertheless, Texas is allowing 400 total yards per game, including 148.3 rushing yards. Baylor won last year's meeting 24-10 as a 3.5-point favorite and the Bears are 13-2-1 ATS their last 16 games following an ATS loss. They have covered eight of their last nine as underdogs, and eight of their last 11 road games overall. Texas has covered the number just once its last five conference games and the Longhorns are 2-5 ATS after a bye week. Play on Baylor with the points.
