#1 Posted: 10/12/2009 3:39:47 PM How Can this Line
only be "3" ??
I "THINK" 
I Know why !!!!
The RED RIVER has
Oddsmakers in a Tight SPOT
Because they KNOW
They will Have A TON of ACTION on the SOONERS
From EVERY /Bettors/Backer/Fans with Sick money
from every School that thinks it has a Chance to get TO get to the National Championship
EVERY ACC--BIG10---BIG East---PAC10...Bama,Florida(and the Delusional Fans from the other SEC schools)...Boise St.----TCU---etc...
They would only be  STUPID to give out a ML of say +400 or more
Texas should be LAYING atleast 7 and a MAX of 14.5 IMO
I know the running game and O-Line have some issues, but the Defense/Special teams is TOP notch ....
McCoy might Finally Have A Monster Game 
That all being said Oklahoma could win ...
I say they might in this spot 35% of the time
 BOB  Stoops in a BIG GAME ???
AGREE ???

#3 Posted: 10/12/2009 3:45:34 PM Not sure what we can agree or disagree with in this post. Texas could win or Oklahoma could win. OK has a very nice Defense this year. The biggest thing I noticed about this series is it is never a close score at the end of the game. |

#5 Posted: 10/12/2009 3:56:25 PM In my opinion, 3 is the perfect line for this game. But what do I know as I went 0-7 this past Saturday. I had my arse handed to me. |

 asking if you think oddsmakers would give every Bettor Needing TEXAS to LOSE any Value ... with a Higher Line and a BIG ML DOG chance with the Sooners ????

#10 Posted: 10/12/2009 4:16:02 PM i think you are exactly on point but texas wins this, oklahoma has nothing to play for right now as texas does, and after all bradford and mccoy are buddies right? odds makers want people to take oklahoma here. |

not sure how you make your power ratings but if you have Oklahoma favored then your power ratings aren't accurate... |

#14 Posted: 10/12/2009 4:48:12 PM performance ratings for each team by week:
Texas: 10, 10, 9, 10, 8 (avg: 9.4)
Okla: 7, 10, 8, 9 (avg: 8.5)
no ratings given for non Div 1 games... OU would have to perform at a 10 rating in order to win this game by more than a FG... Texas would have to perform at a 9 rating to win this game by more than a FG... considering Texas has performed at a 9 rating 4 out of 5 games, i give that better odds than OU hitting a 10, which they have done 1 out of 4 games... |

#15 Posted: 10/12/2009 4:49:11 PM Texas opened at -1 on the lead line. Oklahoma has shown nothing againt ranked teams. Texas has owned OU in the last 4 meetings, going 3-1 S/U and 4-0 ATS. I totally agree with you. Sure OU can win the game, but Colorado can beat Kansas too. Vandy can beat Georigia. Wake Forest certainly can beat Clemson. Do you see any of these lines at -1 on the opener,or -3 now? |

#16 Posted: 10/12/2009 4:51:27 PM Has Texas covered a spread yet this year = probably but they haven't seen as explosive this year. Grest D but their running game got lit up by COLORADO at home and Colt has a few more picks this year. Think it will be close and the line seems about right. |

I was born in Oklahoma and I went to school in Austin. I know this rivalry well.
Texas hasn't played anyone and looked horrible against Colorado.
OU is banged up. Not a good offensive line. Short on receivers. No TE.
I think Texas actually shows up in the first half of this one.
I have this game capped at -9.
I thinks Texas rolls in this one. Texas -2.5 or -3 is a good play.
TEXAS is the play here for me.

#18 Posted: 10/12/2009 5:37:41 PM This game comes down to turnovers. This game will probably be tight till the 4th quarter, then someone will commit a stupid ass mistake and the game will pull away for someone. |
