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.
