Texas is an underdog in Baton Rouge | Sunday, 8:40 am

Featured Replies

LSU faces a must-win. Period. Meanwhile, Texas seems to think they’re in the Playoffs at 9-3, so it’s not a must-win (judging by the post-game reactions of Sark and the players).

Texas is coming off a big road win at Mizzou, while LSU took a beat down at home against a rival (Bama).

Texas has to travel to a ranked opponent in consecutive weeks.

It’s a night game in one of the most difficult places for opposing teams to play.

And maybe Vegas has actually watched the wildly inconstant Texas offense and special teams this season?

Intangibles definitely favor LSU here. I would’ve guessed a 2.5 or 3.5 betting line, in favor of LSU.

When was the last time Texas won as an underdog, especially on the road? Bama in 2023? Aggy 2024?

I found the answer. The last time Texas defeated an opponent who was favored over them was Alabama in 2003, and that game was also on the road. We were favored over Aggy in both 2024 and 2025.

Texas fans: "Nobody respects us!"

Also Texas fans for the last two months: "Fire everybody, bench everybody, burn the playbook."

Vegas is probably just reading the game threads. 😂

If that's true, it says less about Texas struggling as an underdog and more about Vegas refusing to make Texas an underdog. 😂

Hard to pile up underdog wins when you're laying points almost every Saturday.
