At noon ET on Saturday, the Texas Longhorns face off against the Alabama Crimson Tide at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin.
Alabama opened between a 17.5- and 18.5-point favorite depending on the sportsbook, and as of writing, the Tide are up to a 20-point favorite on the road in Texas.
Since at least 1975, Texas has been bigger than a two-TD underdog at home in Austin. The Longhorns’ largest underdog at home prior to Saturday came back in 2014 when they were a 14-point home underdog against Baylor — a 28-7 loss to the Bears.
