00:00The marquee matchup in the early window, noon eastern time, a big

00:06noon kickoff inside the big house, a top 10 tilt. It is

00:11Texas, now ranked third in the country against the reigning

00:14national champs, 10th ranked Michigan, a line that is now

00:19seven and a half. Oh, in favor of the team that won a national

00:21championship and has 23 straight home wins. No, in favor

00:25of the visitors from Austin, north of a touchdown, now in

00:29favor of the Longhorns, with a total at 42 and a half. Joe,

00:33when this line opened up in the summer months, it was Texas

00:36already a road favorite at three and a half. That caught the

00:39attention of some after the Longhorns hammer and shut out

00:43Colorado State in their opener last week in Austin, 52 to zip,

00:47and Michigan seemed to struggle with Fresno State, only winning

00:5230 to 10, thanks to an icing pick six from Will Johnson.

00:57This line has ballooned. Is it an overreaction or is it the

01:01correct movement? Oh, it's a gross overreaction, but it

01:05certainly feels like a total setup here, doesn't it? Uh, as

01:10if the books are just daring you. God, I dare you to take

01:14Michigan, uh, here. I want you to take Michigan here. It

01:19really does feel that way, but listen, uh, the reality is this

01:23is a, this is a big spot for Texas. If they are as good as

01:28we expect, let's go. I mean, we only have five returning

01:31starters on Michigan. One of them was a punter. So this is a

01:35different Michigan team that won the national championship a

01:38year ago. This is pretty much the same Longhorn teams, only

01:42they got more potent somehow on offense. So they should win

01:47this game. They should be the favorite in this spot. Having

01:50said that going into the big house spot in Michigan over a

01:54touchdown, it's only happened twice since the nineties, I

01:58believe. So, uh, and usually it's reserved for teams like

02:01Wisconsin or Ohio state that are usually doing that. Uh, but

02:06not with that defense of Michigan. I, I think this is a

02:09field goal game at best. I have to bite it's Michigan or pass

02:13for me in this one.
