The top-ranked Texas Longhorns will face the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. Texas, currently 3-0 overall and 2-0 at home, will be led by redshirt freshman Arch Manning, making his first start due to Quinn Ewers’ abdominal injury. This marks the first time Texas has held the No. 1 spot in the AP Poll since 2008.

- **Spread:** Texas -43.5
- **Over/Under:** 54 points
- **Picks:** See predictions here
**Why Texas Can Cover**
The Longhorns have been dominant, winning and covering the spread in all three games this season. They recently moved ahead of Georgia in the AP Poll after Georgia’s close call at Kentucky. Despite the absence of star quarterback Quinn Ewers, Texas benefits from having Arch Manning, a highly talented backup. Manning excelled last week, completing 9 of 12 passes for 223 yards and four touchdowns, along with 53 rushing yards and a touchdown.
**Why UL Monroe Can Cover**
UL Monroe has started strong with two wins and covers. They defeated Jackson State 30-13 and UAB 32-6, the latter as 12-point underdogs. Head coach Bryant Vincent, who previously served as interim head coach at UAB, likely found extra motivation in this victory. Oklahoma transfer General Booty has thrown for 191 yards and a touchdown this season. The Warhawks’ running back duo, Ahmad Hardy and James Jones, has nearly 300 rushing yards combined, which could help control the clock and keep them competitive.
