Clemson vs Texas Odds

• Pro Tip: Texas and Clemson bettors alike can bet on these odds and other props at Bovada if they are in either team’s home state.

Bet on Texas Under 31.5 Points

Texas has been given a 31.5 over/under point total by college football betting sites ahead of their matchup against the Clemson Tigers. With -125 odds, the under for the Longhorns is an excellent bet.

That’s largely based on Texas’s extreme splits based on the team defensive rankings of their opponents:

Texas has played seven games against teams that are ranked inside the top 50 nationally in scoring defense. In those games, the Longhorns averaged 24.9 points and have only scored more than 31.5 points once.

In six games against defenses that rank 51st or worse in points allowed rankings, Texas averaged 43.8 points per game and went over 31.5 points five times.

Those stats are important because Clemson ranks as the 43rd-best defense in terms of points allowed per game. Based on their statistical history against good defenses, the best bet for the clash between the Longhorns and the Tigers is on Texas to score less than 31.5 points with -125 odds.

Bet on Quintrevion Wisner Over 88.5 Rushing Yards

Clemson may have an above-average scoring defense, but they have struggled to stop the run this season. They have given up 150.5 yards per game on the ground, which is the worst among all College Football Playoff teams by more than 10 yards.

The Tigers’ struggles to defend the run are one of the main reasons to bet on the over for Quintrevion Wisner to have more than 88.5 rushing yards at legal sports betting sites.

Wisner has rushed for more than 150 yards in two of his past three games and is poised to have another big game due to Clemson’s weakness.

The odds for Quintrevion Wisner to have more than 88.5 rushing yards at Bovada are -115.
