00:00The market believes that Ohio State can't lose this game as they are a 5.5, 6-point

00:06favorite.

00:07But the total coming down here a little bit, and to me, Zinn, this is all about, A, how

00:13many points wins this game?

00:15What is the winning team's score?

00:17Is it 27?

00:18Is it 24?

00:19Is it 30?

00:20And if it is a big number, well, then some of these props that we got here with Will

00:27Howard, who has been throwing the ball all over the place, I'm seeing him at, what, 244

00:33and a half passing yards.

00:35Are they going to run it?

00:36If it's a lower-scoring game, should we be looking maybe more at the rushing props with

00:41Judkins and Henderson here?

00:43It's interesting, depending on how you think the script rolls here.

00:48If Texas's defense falls apart in the second half like they've done the last couple of

00:52games, should we be looking at all of these guys going up and over, especially Will Howard?

00:59The only ones I would really look at, I think that, you know, if you're in favor of Texas

01:03and you think Texas has a shot to win this game, and I would say that any of the passing

01:09or receiving props, if they go over, Texas may be dead in the water, right?

01:13Like could Quinton Judkins get 60 yards over the course of four quarters in a tight game,

01:19especially one that's defensive and close?

01:21Yes.

01:22Could Quinton Judkins and Henderson do the same?

01:24Yes.

01:25But if Smith and Agukma are over their receiving yards props, Texas is getting beaten in secondary,

01:31they're dead.

01:32They're dead.

01:33They just cannot play catch-up against this Ohio State defense.

01:37They literally can't.

01:38Again, Michigan beat Ohio State in a low-scoring slugfest.

01:45Will Howard wasn't able to throw the ball.

01:46He didn't have time.

01:47He wasn't comfortable in the pocket.

01:49All those things are true.

01:51If Texas wants to beat Ohio State, they have got to do it up front and make Will Howard

01:57uncomfortable.

01:58But if he throws for more than 250 yards and both of those receivers are anywhere over

02:02their receiving yardage prop, I think Texas is dead.

02:06I just don't, I don't see a game script where Texas wins an over game in a shootout.

02:12Like I understand we think Quinn Ures in this offense can do that, right?

02:17We've seen them put up 40 points at will.

02:20But a lot of that has been on the ground this year.

02:22A lot of that has been their defense dominating, forcing three and outs, getting the ball back

02:26quickly and just overpowering people.

02:28I get it.

02:29That's not going to happen here against Ohio State.

02:31You're going to be able to move the ball one first down, you're going to end up punting.

02:35And that's what you need Ohio State to do here.

02:36So I don't think the over favors Texas at all.

02:39If we get even closer to the thing, I don't think Texas can win the game.

02:43If Ohio State touches 30, Texas may be dead.
