Taking BAYLOR here. Man this team keeps biting me in the butt. I have to take them here as a small dog vs a young Texas team. Longhorns haven't beat a ranked opponent all year (0-6), why is that going to change here? Because they are home? Baylor has dropped 3 of 4 (Kansas and Missouri are OK in my eyes, the 3rd loss to K-State isn't). But that 3rd loss is why I am banking on the Bears to really come out and rattle the 'Horns here. Texas has lost to ranked Kansas and Missouri at home by a combined 4 points. I will gladly gobble up a bucket here in what should be a closely contested game. Texas is looking for a March Madness resume builder, while Baylor could be in desperation mode following a 1-3 stretch. I have been a supporter of the Bears all season. They are too talented to keep fall flat here vs a team that they are clearly superior to. If the Bears keep their TOs down, this game can easily be a blow-out. Baylor 5-2 ATS last 7 in the series, last 7 at Texas and the road team is the same 5-2 ATS last 7 in the series. Bears experience should be the difference maker here. 10* BAYLOR BEARS
