Leg 1: Texas Longhorns -12.5 (-112)

Spread: Texas -12.5 | Moneyline: Texas -490 | Total: 51.5

This quarterfinal matchup boils down to one key takeaway: the Texas Longhorns have clear advantages. That’s not to diminish Arizona State’s impressive season—far from it. The Sun Devils defied expectations, going from preseason Big 12 cellar-dwellers to conference champions, earning themselves a well-deserved first-round bye in the CFP. That’s no small feat.

However, they haven’t faced a team with Texas’s raw talent, especially in the trenches. The Longhorns’ depth and physicality present a challenge Arizona State hasn’t encountered this season. There’s a reason the spread is sitting in double-digits ahead of kickoff. If the first round of the CFP taught us anything, heavy favorites often deliver in these spots. While it’s tempting to back the underdog, this game has all the makings of a Longhorns blowout.

Leg 2: Matthew Golden OVER 51.5 Receiving Yards (-114)

Matthew Golden’s receiving prop line feels like a great spot here. He’s quietly emerged as Texas’s top target in the passing game, and this matchup sets up perfectly for the Longhorns to exploit the Sun Devils through the air. Golden has cleared this number in six of his last ten outings, which only adds to the appeal of taking the over in what promises to be a high-upside showdown for their passing attack on Wednesday.

Leg 3: Isaiah Bond Anytime Touchdown (+230)

Even though Isaiah Bond may not be entering this game at full strength, he still offers plenty of value as a scoring threat. Bond has consistently demonstrated his reliability as a red-zone target throughout his college career, pairing that with the kind of explosiveness that makes him a constant big-play threat. With the opportunities likely to come through the air in this matchup, Bond finding the end zone feels like a bet worth considering.
