Ohio State at Texas: our pick

We called Texas at 52%, locked Sep 12, 2:32 PM ET, 4 hours before kickoff.

Final: Ohio State 23–24 Texas. Right.

Why this pick?

Our 52% is the betting market's own price for Texas: 7 sportsbooks' prices, averaged, with their margin taken out. It is not a secret model.

The closing line is recorded just before the start; the move since the call shows up then.

We have no graded calls on Texas yet.

At 52%, a pick like this still loses about 48 times in 100.

What we add is timing: we watch this game live and email members when the pick pulls well ahead, so they can check the cash-out at their own sportsbook.

No cash-out alert fired on this game.
