College football betting competition on Saturday includes what looks to be a mismatch for handicappers to wager on NCAA football with as Texas meets Rice. College football betting devotees will have their choice of a traditional strength and perennial national championship contender vs a vulnerable non-BCS asset to wager on NCAA football with.



Texas opened at the online sports books as a 28.5-point fave with kickoff on ESPN at 3:35 PM Eastern. The game will be played at Reliant Stadium in Houston, home of the NFL’s Houston Texans.

As 4-year starting quarterback Colt McCoy is gone and will be replaced by sophomore Garrett Gilbert, who had to take the place of McCoy after he went down to injury in the BCS Championship Game loss to Alabama, Texas will have a sizeable new look in sports gambling odds. Gilbert is reported to have a stronger arm than McCoy and no drop-off is anticipated.

With that being said, the Longhorns will have six new starters on an offense which averaged over 40 points per game the prior two years. The defense brings back seven starters for hugely regarded coordinator and head coach in waiting Will Muschamp.

Rice endured a sizeable NCAA betting drop-off a year ago as they concluded 2-10 after a 10-3 mark in 2008. That continued a feast or famine sort of run by 4th year coach David Bailiff who commenced his career with a 3-9 mark after taking command for a squad that went 7-6.

Rice ought to be back up in 2010 if the trend proceeds, and with 10 starters coming back on both sides of the line that is the expectation.

Gilbert recovered after a shaky start in last year’s 37-21 loss to Alabama as he passed for 162 yards and 2 touchdowns in the second half and got the Horns within 3 points before the Crimson Tide put the game away. There will be plenty of stress on Gilbert as the program has won at least 10 games per year for 9 sequential seasons.

Head coach Mack Brown refuses to claim that Texas is in a rebuilding or transition year with the NCAA football probabilities.

“I don’t like that word,” claimed Brown. “Because it gives the kids and the coaches an excuse not to be good.” Rice has a college football betting mark of just 10-22 vs the spread in non conference competition since 2002 and was clobbered by Texas 52-10 as 29-point dogs in their last matchup in 2008.
