Are you kidding me! Beat Texas all tho DB drops INT. Still a win. Beat the dog shit out of Okla St. Vegas trying to get a ton of money on tech so the points will go down. Whatever TT double digit in.

Norman is a tough place to play,#2 or not I don't see TT winning this one.I'm going to wait on the line and see if I can get it less than 7 and i'll take the Sooners.

Oklahoma is the more talented team @ home, sounds like the right line to me, if they wouldn't have tripped over their dick vs Texas they qould be favored by 14. Plus revenge game from last year OU is the play. GL

Hello...McFly(OU).....check your secondary. Forget the homefield hoopla and look at what OU is giving up passing. This Tech team has a solid defense. How can anyone that knows anything about football, not look at the obvious...OU's secondary gives up a lot of passing yards to mediocre teams.

Next we'll be hearing......Tech will loose the Big XII championship...then, Tech will loose to Fla...........Geez

If you dont know you shouldn't be betting this one bro....history

enough with the conspiracies... the line on this game opened at (-6) and was bet up to (-7)... the REASON it opened at (-6) is because OU has been running up huge scores against cream puffs the last 3 weeks, and the books use those scores to help create their spreads... it was bet up to (-7) because people know OU has a big homefield advantage, and they believe this is the same Tx Tech team as past years, which can't win big games on the road, especially against OU... mystery solved!

You can't be serious....don't look at rankings bro. Getting a win on the road is difficult, especially in Big time confrences like the Big 12. Mizz lost on the road, Texas lost on the road, Okla. lost in Texas ("neutral" site), and Tech will lose on the road.

Venables (DC) and Stoops have Leach's number, bigtime. Yeah, Tech has won 2 out of the last 3 years, but saying this doesn't tell the whole story. In 2005, Stoops and co were completely screwed. One of the biggest screwjobs in Big 12 history. I don't want to get into the details. Let's just say the head ref was an insurance salesman in Lubbock (no shit).

Anyway, Tech is still a pretender. Their gimmicky offense won't do shit in Norman. I don't have the numbers and am too lazy to find them right now, but Tech's O under leach doesn't have a very good record on Grass. Anyway, I see a blowout in OU's favor on Saturday.

They set the line to pull in the money.

It IS NOT an opinion or ranking..............

I just hope this game lives up to the hype. The Tech/Texas game sure did.

Strange line. I'm leaning to OK. I would have thought it would have been OK -2-3 and my feeling is when a line comes out like this don't go with what appears to be what the bookies want you to take in TT.

WhoDeyIrish says:

Because Oklamhoma is the 2nd best team in the country behind
Florida.

In Norman.

OK is TOOOOO Much.

Unload on the Sooners.

The reason you don't understand the line is apparently you don't understand what a spread is. The spread is not created to predict the score or even the better team.

It's made to get even money.

Another mega-game for the Red Raiders. I ended up staying away due to too many variables in this one:

A. Is this game "a bridge too far" for TT in Norman?

B. Does the Sooner secondary show up? If they do then it's a long night for the Lubbock boys.

C. Does the Sooner offense show? You know TT's boys will get some points.

I dunno, think I'll just sit back and watch this one as a fan and possibly unload on the Big 12 Title game.

The oddsmakers are practically begging people to pick TT, don't bite. OU wins this going away. Anytime the book offers a deal to good to be true run the other way.

hate to agree with a newbie, but when it makes sense, what can u do....ou by 14

bookieassassin says:

11/21/08 12:38PM

must ask....what have they really done ?..(to be mentioned as maybe top 5 in country....sure they're improved)

home

e wash ? played poorly

smu ? 1/2 ass didn't cover

u mass ??

nebraska managed 16 1st downs vs that rugged Neb D...

should have lost.....neb 29 1st downs.....TOP 40-20 neb

(ttech couldn't stop)

tx played great ....but DONTCHA THINK HORN PREVIOUS

3 GAMES HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT (ttech not the

better team)...could have lost still

ok st played great....but ok st bad road team historically

road

outgained at nevada (nevada worst pass D in nation ?)...

destroyed BAD kan st team

destroyed overrated kansas

sloppy non cover at a&m

SO NOW THEY'RE GOING INTO NORMAN AND BEAT OU IN A NIGHT GAME ....but has backdoor ever been more open than here ????....SO > stay away...or small wager on OU 1st 1/2 > then $$$$$$$$$$$> since ou D is on field too much and gets worn out....look for play on 2nd 1/2 OVER...or play ttech if down big

Charlie_M says:

11/21/08 12:41PM

i will agree with the obvious, tech has improved tremendously from the last couple seasons, however i still think they r overrated.....however,, if they win this weekend, i will eat my words dipped in horse raddish.....

Mazdaspeed says:

You know, "I am a stupid west texas hick homer" would have covered this in a lot fewer words.
