Baylor is 14-2 at home for the season, and they are –6.5-point favorites going into this one. The Longhorns beat the Bears 75-73 at home just over a month ago, and it will be payback time tonight. Baylor has won seven of the last nine games against Texas and will add another one by covering the given spread.
