Le Moyne Dolphins vs. Texas Longhorns Prediction

I’m on Texas here. It’s a big number for the Longhorns, but there’s a clear discrepancy in talent in this matchup and we’ve seen Texas beat on bad teams more often than not this year. Le Moyne hasn’t been able to keep things close in a lot of their step-up games, and I think the Longhorns roll here. Give me Texas here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Texas -26.5
