Alamo Bowl Texas vs Washington Prediction and Odds 2022

Our Alamo Bowl prediction is from The Duel's official Texas vs Washington betting preview.

The Longhorns qualify as a defensive dominator allowing just 21.2 points and 362 yards per game. Washington allows 28.2 points, 390 yards per game and 5.5 yards per play vs FBS opponents. The Longhorns' strength is run defense, but they allow 239 passing YPG (No. 82) and Washington has the top pass attack in the country led by QB Michael Penix Jr. He's passed for 4,354 yards (362/game) to lead the country while 29 passing TDs.

Texas has a solid, balanced offensive attack led by top RB Bijan Robinson. The Longhorns run for 200 YPG and pass for 231 YPG. Quarterback Quinn Ewers has failed to pass for more than 200 yards in his last four games, but the Longhorns scored 34, 55 and 38 points in three wins. Texas was perfectly balanced on offense in beating Baylor to close the season against the Bears' Big 12 average defense.

Washington's run defense is pretty solid allowing 131 YPG vs FBS foes, but their pass efficiency defense is below average. Washington only punted 22 times this season, but they will punt more than two times in this contest. Penix passed for 298 yards vs Oregon State's top Pac-12 defense, but wasn't sacked in 52 dropbacks in a 24-21 win.
