Baylor hopes to remain undefeated in Austin
The Baylor Bears are 14-3 SU and 9-8 ATS in their last 17 games against Big 12 opponents. The Bears will try to keep their undefeated season intact with another win over a conference foe Saturday on the road against the Texas Longhorns.
Through the first half of the 2016 season, the Bears have consistently blown their opponents away with a 6-0 SU record and an average margin of victory of 26.5 points per game. But despite putting up big numbers on offense, Baylor is just 2-4 ATS, bringing its record to 3-9 ATS in its last 12 games as a betting favorite.
Texas has won 14 of its last 18 games against the Bears, but the tides have turned recently with a 2-4 SU and 1-5 ATS record in the Longhorns' last six games against Baylor. The Longhorns ended Baylor's regular season on a sour note last year with a 23-17 win as a 20.5-point underdog in Baylor.
Since starting the season off 2-0 SU and ATS, Texas is 1-4 SU and 2-3 ATS over its last five games.
