Two more plays for Saturday night, both kicking off at 7:30 eastern, and one of them starts with a score that should not be possible for a program like this one. Clemson opened its season by losing 51-10 to LSU. A week later it is laying nineteen and a half points.
7.5 units to win, 12.74 at risk. Every price is a minus number, so the unit figures are what gets won. These join the five plays posted earlier today. Air Force and Hawaii were added after this card first went up.

Both Plays And The Math
| Play | Price | To Win | Risk | Break Even | Kickoff ET |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Georgia Southern Eagles +19.5 | -108 | 2 | 2.16 | 51.92% | 7:30 |
| Texas Longhorns ML | -125 | 1.5 | 1.88 | 55.56% | 7:30 |
| Air Force Falcons +1.5 | -110 | 2 | 2.20 | 52.38% | 10:00 |
| Hawaii Rainbow Warriors ML | -325 | 2 | 6.50 | 76.47% | 12:00 AM |
Georgia Southern +19.5: Clemson Gave Up 51 Last Time Out
Here is everything the 2026 season has said about these two teams so far.
| Week one | Result | Opponent |
|---|---|---|
| Clemson Tigers | Lost 51-10 | LSU |
| Georgia Southern Eagles | Won 31-0 | Charleston Southern |
A 41 point loss to open a season, and the next number posted on Clemson asks it to win by three touchdowns. That is the whole case for the ticket: nineteen and a half is a lot of points to lay for a defense that just gave up 51.
Georgia Southern did what it was supposed to do against an FCS opponent, a shutout, and that result on its own means very little. It is not the argument. The argument is the Clemson side of the table, and a price of -108 that needs 51.92 percent.
Memorial Stadium has thunderstorms in the forecast. Weather that slows a game down makes a three score margin harder to reach, and the side getting the points is the one that benefits.
Texas -125: Number One Comes To Austin
No. 4 Texas hosts No. 1 Ohio State at DKR. Both are 1-0 and both openers were exactly the kind of result that tells you nothing:
| Week one | Result | Opponent |
|---|---|---|
| Texas Longhorns | Won 59-7 | Texas State |
| Ohio State Buckeyes | Won 56-3 | Ball State |
Two big wins over overmatched opponents, 52 and 53 point margins, essentially identical. The season has not separated these teams at all. What -125 is paying for is the building: home field in Austin, in a forecast of 98 degrees with showers, against a visitor making the trip in September heat.
It needs 55.56 percent. That is a modest ask for a top five home team in a game the market sees as close to even, and it is sized at 1.5 units because the edge is the venue and not a gap between the teams.
Air Force +1.5: The Best Team In FCS Comes To Colorado Springs
North Dakota State is favored on the road at Falcon Stadium by a point and a half, and that is not a mistake. The Bison are the standard in FCS and they have already beaten an FBS team this season.
| 2026 so far | Result | Opponent |
|---|---|---|
| North Dakota State Bison | Won 33-7 | Jacksonville State (FBS) |
| North Dakota State Bison | Won 38-0 | Fordham |
| Air Force Falcons | Won 34-0 | Duquesne |
The play is Air Force getting points at home, at altitude, against a visitor that has to prepare for the triple option. Air Force is 1-0 after shutting out Duquesne, 68 degrees and partly cloudy at kickoff, and -110 needs 52.38 percent.
The honest counter is the first row of that table. A 26 point win over an FBS opponent is a better result than anything Air Force has put on film yet, and NDSU is 2-0 while Air Force has played once.
Hawaii -325: The Most Expensive Price Of The Day, On An 0-2 Team
Midnight eastern in Honolulu, and this one needs its number said first. Hawaii at -325 risks 6.5 units to win 2 and needs 76.47 percent. No ticket posted today asks for more.
| 2026 so far | Result | Opponent |
|---|---|---|
| Hawaii Rainbow Warriors | Lost 37-27 | Stanford |
| Hawaii Rainbow Warriors | Lost 21-6 | UNLV |
| New Mexico State Aggies | Lost 34-17 | Florida State |
| New Mexico State Aggies | Won 51-14 | Mercyhurst |
Hawaii is 0-2 and scored six points last time out. New Mexico State is 1-1, and its only win came against an FCS opponent.
The case is the island. A home game in Honolulu puts a long trip and a late kickoff on the visitor, against a New Mexico State team whose one real FBS test ended in a 17 point loss. The market has Hawaii favored by 7.5.
The case against it is the table above. An offense that just managed six points is carrying the largest amount of risk on the day, and nothing Hawaii has done this season earns a 76 percent price on its own.
The Argument Against These Four
Clemson's loss came against LSU and Georgia Southern's win came against an FCS team. Those two results are not on the same scale. Across the 2023 to 2025 seasons, FBS teams that lost an opener to another FBS team by 30 or more went just 27.8 percent in their next game, which argues Clemson is simply not good. It is also only 18 teams, too few to lean on in either direction.
Ohio State is No. 1 for a reason. A home favorite at -125 against the top ranked team in the country is not a gift, and nothing in either opener says Texas is the better team.
Hawaii is 0-2 and carrying 6.5 units of risk. That is more than the other three late plays combined.
All four plays were on the verified record with their prices before kickoff, and all four get graded there whether they win or lose.
Card FAQ
What are the late BetLegend plays for Saturday September 12?
Two college football plays at 7:30 eastern. Texas Longhorns moneyline at -125 for 1.5 units and Georgia Southern +19.5 at -108 for 2 units. They join the five plays posted earlier in the day.
How much are the two plays risking?
Both prices are minus numbers, so the unit figures are the amount being won. Texas risks 1.88 units to win 1.5 and Georgia Southern risks 2.16 to win 2, so 4.03 at risk to win 3.5.
Why take Georgia Southern +19.5?
Because of how Clemson started. Clemson opened the season losing 51-10 to LSU, a 41 point loss. Georgia Southern opened with a 31-0 shutout of Charleston Southern. Nineteen and a half is a lot to lay for a team that just gave up 51, and thunderstorms are forecast in Clemson, which makes winning by three scores harder.
What is the strongest argument against Georgia Southern?
Georgia Southern's opener came against an FCS team and Clemson's came against LSU, so the two results are not comparable. Across the 2023 to 2025 seasons, FBS teams that lost an opener to another FBS team by 30 or more went 27.8 percent in their next game, but that is only 18 teams, far too few to lean on in either direction.
Why Texas at -125?
No. 4 Texas hosts No. 1 Ohio State, and both teams are 1-0 after blowouts, Texas 59-7 over Texas State and Ohio State 56-3 over Ball State. The regular season has not separated them yet. The price buys home field in Austin in a 98 degree forecast, and it needs 55.56 percent.
Why Air Force +1.5 against North Dakota State?
North Dakota State is the best program in FCS and is 2-0, including a 33-7 win over FBS Jacksonville State, so it is favored by 1.5 on the road. The play is Air Force getting points at home at altitude against a visitor that has to prepare for the triple option. Air Force is 1-0 after a 34-0 shutout of Duquesne. At -110 it needs 52.38 percent.
Why Hawaii at -325?
Home field in Honolulu against New Mexico State, whose only FBS game this season was a 34-17 loss at Florida State. The price is steep: it risks 6.5 units to win 2 and needs 76.47 percent, on a Hawaii team that is 0-2 after losses to Stanford and UNLV.
