  • Win totals are now out for the 2023 CFB season
  • The Texas Longhorns, who have a deep QB room, have a win total of 9.5 at DraftKings
  • Read on for the Texas Longhorns 2023 Win Total odds and analysis

Texas football finished with a respectable 8-5 record overall in 2022, ultimately losing to the Washington Huskies in the Alamo Bowl by a score of 27-20. But with a deep QB room led by Quinn Ewers plus a strong receiver group, expectations should be high for the Longhorns in 2023. Technically, they should be the best team in the Big 12.

The oddsmakers have their college football win totals odds set at 9.5 for the upcoming campaign but it’s important to note Texas hasn’t surpassed that number since 2009. However, this could be the year the Longhorns hit double digits in wins.

Can Texas Live up to The Hype in Big 12?

On paper, this Longhorns group is uber-talented. Ewers is a former top recruit and has already shown progression as he heads into his second season as QB1. Archie Manning is going to be special. Maalik Murphy meanwhile looks ready to grab that starting spot at any given moment if Ewers struggles.

Head coach Steve Sarkisian has no shortage of options at signal-caller and there are also some very intriguing weapons out wide. Plus, the offensive line is rock solid, and on the other side of the ball, Jaylan Ford is arguably the best linebacker in the Big 12.

When it comes to the Texas schedule, the games that stand out are Alabama, TCU, Baylor, and Houston. The last three are notable because they’re rivalries and the Longhorns are on the road for all of them. It’s also the last time Texas probably plays those programs since Sarkisian’s group is set for a move to the SEC in 2024.

Bama is not going to be the same force in 2023. Texas will put up a fight. Meetings with the likes of Wyoming and Rice are definite wins, too. Texas is a massive 34.5-point favorite in the early college football betting lines against the Owls.

Playing the Crimson Tide is going to be tough, there is no doubt about it. But, the Longhorns have what it takes to pull off an early season upset. Remember, they only lost 20-19 to them last year and that was with Bryce Young under center.

Texas Longhorns Win Total Betting Prediction

It’s been a long time since the Texas roster has been this good. In every area, this is an extremely solid team. Does that mean they will live up to expectations? Well, no. The Longhorns have disappointed before.

But although every single opponent except for Iowa State made a bowl game a year ago, I do believe in Texas. This is probably the most talented quarterback group in the nation, and that means a lot. Xavier Worthy is back at WR along with Jordan Whittington as well, who both balled out in 22′. Expect the offense to propel this program to 10 wins.

Pick: Texas Longhorns 2023 Win Total Over 9.5 (-120)
