2022 Alamo Bowl: College Football Same Game Parlay Picks: Thursday (Texas vs. Washington)
- Leg 1: Washington ML (+136)
- Leg 2: Washington +3.5 (-120)
- Leg 3: Alternate Total – Over 73.5 (+176)
The Huskies ended the regular season with just two losses and six straight victories to close things out, falling one game short of the PAC-12 Championship game when all was said and done. Michael Penix Jr., an Indiana transfer quarterback, led the nation in both passing yards per game (376.6) and total offensive yards (521.7) for the whole season.
In September, the Texas Longhorns, under the leadership of head coach Steve Sarkisian, fell one point short of defeating Alabama. The loss was symbolic of their season, starting a trend for them as they only lost by more than three points to CFP Finalist TCU. Texas finished the season winning three of its final four games, scoring 34 points or more in each victory.
In this game, Penix will be a huge worry for Texas because the Longhorns have allowed 239 yards through the air per game this year, ranking 88th in the nation. Watch for Washington to score a lot in this one, as Longhorns QB Quinn Ewers matches him deep into the fourth quarter.
The Huskies should pull out a close one.
