Baylor has a good record but hasn’t been playing its best lately, but it should be okay to blowout Texas at home today. The Longhorns were struggling as is, but now are without Mack, their top player. Texas doesn’t have the offensive firepower to compete with Baylor, which is a pretty good defensive team anyway.
