Ohio State vs Texas odds and preview at BetMGM Sportsbook

The final four of the College Football Playoff is set, and the second game has the potential to be another classic. Notre Dame already punched its ticket to the CFP national championship game.

The powerhouse programs will meet for the fourth time, with the Longhorns leading the series at 2-1. The most recent meeting between Ohio State and Texas was in 2009 at the Fiesta Bowl, with the Longhorns winning 24-21. 

Both programs are seeking the national championship, and it's been a long time coming for Texas. The Longhorns last won a national title in 2005. Ohio State is one of the few programs to win a CFP title but hasn't done so since 2014 in the inaugural playoff.

The Buckeyes advanced to the CFP semis thanks to a 41-21 whopping Oregon in the quarterfinals. Texas needed overtime to beat Arizona State in the CFP quarterfinals, 39-31. 

Ohio State brings a dynamic and versatile offense that beats teams on the ground and through the air. Will Howard leads the way at quarterback, with playmakers TreVeyon Henderson at running back and breakout star Jeremiah Smith at receiver. If that wasn't enough, the Buckeyes have a defense that just does not quit and will make life incredibly difficult for the Texas offense tonight.

The Longhorns may not have the dynamic offense that Ohio State possesses, but it's still dangerous and loaded with weapons. Quarterback Quinn Ewerrs leads the way for Texas but he has a talented crop of running backs and receivers who can bust a game wide open, as we saw in OT against the Sun Devils in the CFP quarterfinal game. As with the Buckeyes, Texas has a defense that switches games and creates turnovers.  

BetMG Sportsbook has Ohio State as the -6-point favorite on the spread and -250 on the moneyline. Texas is +200 on the moneyline. The total currently sits at over/under 52.5 points. The odds for the Buckeyes vs Longhorns are subject to change.

Whether it’s a side or total team total, new sportsbook customers can place their initial bet with complete confidence, knowing they’re covered by BetMGM’s welcome offer of up to $1,500.
