First things first, let’s overview the opt outs and transfer portal impact for both teams. Texas had star running back Bijan Robinson opt out, as well as one of their backup RBs, and a starting linebacker. In terms of the transfer portal, Texas had roughly 6 players walk out the door, but only one of those players had much playing time (an offensive lineman). The Washington Huskies had 0 opt outs, and none of their players entered the transfer portal. Huskies QB Michael Penix Jr. led the nation in passing through the regular season, he’s a very efficient QB. Texas QB Quinn Ewers is one of the nations top recruits, but he has struggled down the stretch for Texas. Our numbers suggest this game should be closer to a true pick 'em, so we will gladly grab the 3 points with Washington. Our bet is 1 unit.
