Sugar Bowl SGP Pick #1: Texas Spread -3.5

The first pick we are making in our Sugar Bowl same-game parlay is the Texas spread of -3.5. The Longhorns’ offense is on fire, exploding for 1,190 yards and 106 points in their two most recent games against Texas Tech and Oklahoma State.

Longhorns QB Quinn Ewers threw for a career-high 452 yards in the Big 12 Championship and now gets to feast on a Huskies secondary allowing 263 yards per game through the air. He has no shortage of weapons at his disposal, including wide receivers Xavier Worthy, Adonai Mitchell, and TE Ja’Tavion Sanders.

The Huskies have been in several one-possession games this season, and their magic is bound to run out at some point. The Texas defense ranks second in the country in third-down conversion percentage, and we think that will prove to be a key factor in them advancing to the National Championship.

Sugar Bowl SGP Pick #2: Xavier Worthy Anytime TD (-138)

To complement our Texas ATS prediction, we’re parlaying the Longhorns’ top receiver to score a touchdown. There are plenty of ways to parlay a Texas player if you’re playing the team against the spread, but this is the pick we are most confident in for a variety of reasons.

Worthy has been exceptional for Texas this season, hauling in 73 passes for 959 yards and five scores. He’s coming off one of his better performances against Oklahoma State, catching six passes for 86 yards. Furthermore, he dropped two passes in last year’s Alamo Bowl that he wants to make amends for.

We’ve already mentioned that the Huskies are giving up 263.2 passing yards per game, which ranks 120th in the country. The Longhorns’ offense does have a decent ground game, but with an average of 286.8 passing yards, they will likely rely heavily on Ewers’ arm Monday, especially with RB Jonathan Brooks sidelined.

Sugar Bowl SGP Pick #3: Dillon Johnson Over 74.5 Rushing Yards (-138)

Even though we are backing the Longhorns in our Texas vs Washington pick, we do like the value on UW’s leading rusher Monday. Dillon Johnson has been an absolute workhorse down the stretch, averaging 136 yards against tough opponents such as Utah and Oregon.

Johnson’s rushing yards total has steadily increased leading up to kickoff, and we still think there’s value left. He averaged 107 rushing yards against top-20 defenses this season and should find holes in UT’s run defense, assisted by Washington’s excellent O-line blocking.

Texas features the nation’s No. 3 rushing defense, allowing just 2.87 yards per carry, but they’ve still been exploited on the ground by opponents such as OU and Texas Tech. Johnson hasn’t been slowed by any of the elite defenses he’s faced, and we like him going over his rushing total in our same-game parlay.
