NCAA football gambling action on Saturday includes what appears to be a mismatch for oddsmakers to bet on NCAA football with as Texas meets Rice. NCAA football gambling fans will have their pick of a traditional ability and perennial national title contender vs a vulnerable non-BCS asset to bet on NCAA football with.



With kickoff on ESPN at 3:35 PM Eastern, Texas opened at the online sports books as a 28.5-point favorite. The competition will be performed 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 replace McCoy after he went down to injury in the BCS Championship Game loss to Alabama, Texas will have a significant new look in sports gambling odds. Gilbert is reported to have a stronger arm than McCoy and no drop-off is supposed.

With that being said, the Longhorns should have six new starters on an offense that averaged over 40 points per competition the past 2 seasons. The defense brings back 7 starters for very respected coordinator and head coach in waiting Will Muschamp.

As they ended 2-10 after a 10-3 mark in 2008, Rice endured a significant NCAA gambling drop-off a year ago. That perpetuated a feast or famine type of run by 4th year coach David Bailiff who started his career with a 3-9 mark after taking command for a squad that went 7-6.

Rice should be back up in 2010 if the pattern continues, and with 10 starters heading back on both sides of the line that is the expectation.

As he passed for 162 yards and 2 touchdowns in the 2nd half and got the Horns within 3 points before the Crimson Tide put the competition away, Gilbert recovered after a unreliable start in last year’s 37-21 loss to Alabama. There will be plenty of strain on Gilbert as the program has won at least 10 matches 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 prospects.

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