OU has its swagger back, a few games under their belt for the O'line starting to gel.  IMO superior coaching too.

Yeah i saw you saying that. I hate OU, hate them, but see this as a line influenced by the perception of miami.  They beat FSU, whoopty fkn do!  Got their ass handed to them by a good, not great ACC team.  OU is more talented on both sides of the ball an out for blood.  We saw what Stoops and company did when they knew they were behind the 8 ball to my horns...personally I'm hoping for a blow out.  I capped this at 9.5-10.

0klahoma's defense should have a hay day against Miami like VT did....
 
 
When they finally faced pressure like I said, they folded like 2 pair.

I'm on board already.  This line will close at 8, at the very least.

love to see everyone high on OU.

If it's nice weather we could see a great game going down to the wire and I'd give the edge to the home team. In a slopfest I think UM has a bigger advantage because of their running game.

I did have the VT ML at +130 last Saturday, but I really like the U right now especially if Sammy B. is just trying to get rid of the rust before they match-up with Texas in Dallas in a few weeks. If Bradford isn't 100% and still plays, then that means there's no confidence in Landry Jones and I would like my possible Miami wager even more

First let me say I am on OU -6.5 with my wallet, posted play.......

That being what it is, the U absolutely can take down OU.  OU loses to BYU, everyone thinks it's because Precious got hurt, but they were playing like ass before he went down....then OU blows out a couple of patsies, and people think they have "swagger"......

Meanwhile, the U takes out a couple of teams that are not so patsy like, then blows a game in a rainstorm...in Blacksburg.....and suddenly the U stinks.....

I had to take OU because the line just looks so great, but I think with a couple of correct bounces Mia can win, if they get up early OU will fold, no one can find an example of OU winning a tight, hard fought game or coming from behind with Bradford at the helm, it just has not happened, they either blow a team out or they lose.

Again, I put my on OU, hoping for the blowout......

In the miami game if you know football and take away feeling, you would realize that miami got da bizness ,because their strength was taken away due to the weather conditions.Their strength is SPEED plain and simple.Thats why FSU hammered BYU way too much speed.If you look all these recent national championship games lately where Ohio state  should have stayed on the bus .Speed was the #1 factor.Miami may still lose to OU but it wont be what everybody thinks.

I'm on OU at -6.5, but I'm not afraid to buy it back and eat the juice if Bradford starts.  My opinion is that they should sit him against Miami if he's not 100%, then play him to get the rust off against Baylor before heading to the Cotton Bowl for Texas.  I like this play more with Landry than I do with Bradford at this point.  Only thing that worries me here is that Landry isn't taking all the 1st team snaps in practice this week, and that could hurt OU if he is the guy on Saturday.

OU wins this by atleast 2 TDs.
 
38-21 or 38-17 is my guess

No they wont...it wont be rainy in in Coral Gables and difference in team speed will be big. OU's defense is slow....the U's offense is FAST. With that said I dont know how they will defend OU's spread passing attack. OU wins but I dont know if they cover

OU wins but I dont know if they cover. Harris will be able to move the ball against OU's defense unlike this past Saturday.

CANES DO WIN STRAIGHT UP!!!
 
That game last weekend doesn't indicate what Miami is..trap game..they will be back to earth this weekend.  Miami's defensive line wasn't at full strength, also their offensive line will dominate OU's line and give time to throw...I mean come on..even with Bradford in the first half of the BYU game...they didn't look good.  They play a real team in Miami...and they are fast!!  Seriously..the whole team is half of Miami"s Northwestern high school..and they are now veterans of this team...trust me..take the points to be safe but i am taking them to win in Landshark stadium.  OU and the Big 12 suck!!

Oklahoma isn't gonna lose to Miami... line is up to 8 in some places, though... i think OU wins by a couple TDs, but probably won't be a stress-free cover... could be sweating out a backdoor at the end...
