We like the Ohio State Buckeyes to defeat the Texas Longhorns on Friday at 4:30pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Ohio State crushed an undefeated Oregon team in the Quarter-Finals, setting up this Semi-Final matchup with Texas.

The Buckeyes are now 5-2 versus the spread over their L7 games this season.

They are also 12-2 overall in their L14 games played as the betting favorite.

Texas lost again against the spread last week in an overtime game against Arizona State.

That makes the Longhorns just 3-6 versus the spread over their L9 games this year.

Texas is also just 1-6 over their L7 games played as the betting underdog.

We think that Ohio State will steamroll right through Texas in this one as well.
