    I watch alot of OU football.  In each game this year they have been up at the half sufficiently enough that they could play backups, mostly for the rest of the game.  The exception was the Miami game where they kept the starters in until the 4th qtr when once again they had built up a sizeable lead.

    wk 1 49-0 half played backups from middle of 3rd qtr on

    wk 2 21-10 half played starters til score was 44-10 then played backups about 5 min. into 4th qtr

    wk 3 38-3 half pulled starters in mid 3rd qtr

    IF the game is still contestable, Stoops won't pull his starters.  They will keep the pressure on until they have a safe enough lead to secure victory.  I see this happening by mid 3rd qtr.  By then OU should be up by 35-40 points.

    I think we can all agree that Oklahoma should beat Tulsa. And, the Sooner fans have stated that a lot in this thread. But, betting football doesn't always come down to the X's & O's...it comes down to what line has Vegas posted for the game and how will that line be perceived by the betting public. On one side you have a team who has creamed three straight teams. On the other side you have a team who handily beat ULM and beat a good (not great) BYU team. But, BYU scored a lot in that game with a final score of 55-47. Now, OK is going to Tulsa and the line is originally set at OK -20.5. From what I have seen, over 80% of the bettors are on OK. If the Sooners are going to kill Tulsa like some of their fans are saying, why didn't the line open much higher? And, we all know that lines in College Football can be set much higher than 20.5. Don't get me wrong, I realize that this game could be a blowout by OK but, if Vegas really thought that the game would be a blowout, don't you think the line would have opened much higher? On Saturday & Sunday, Vegas' goal is to try and get even action on most games. But, I feel that on a Nationally televised single game event, Vegas would just as soon trick the public into thinking of betting the wrong team. Last night was a good example, they made the undefeated ranked Aggies the underdog against a 2-1 Miami team who had trouble beating FL Int and got smoked by OK. More people were on the Aggies plus the points and we know what happened there. Now we have a team who has demolished their three opponents playing a team who barely beat their last opponent plus gave up 47 points and Vegas opens a line of less than three touchdowns!!!!! It says to me that they were hoping that the betting public would say "Give the points because OK will kill them!!" If they open the line at 28 or more points, they then leave themselves open to money going on Tulsa. If they really thought that OK was going to smash Tulsa, the line would have been much higher. I really think that Vegas tries to trick the betting public into the wrong side for single game events and this one was set up perfectly.
     
    Now remember, these are kids and anything can happen...if the Sooners get up big, Tulsa may give up and lose big. Since this is an in-state rivalry (at least on Tulsa's side), I think Tulsa plays hard for 60 minutes and should get the cover.
     
    The bet should be Tulsa +24.

    Tulsa's 3-3-5 defense will be giving up 8-15 yard runs all night long.  OU's o-line is too big and physical for Tulsa.  OU's d-line is too big and physical for Tulsa and their secondary is big, fast, and experienced.  OU can pretty much name their score in this one.

    Good insight. I feel the same way. I think we all learn that in betting,  there's more than to it then X's and O's. If the line and team look to good to be true, and easy to pick. It's probably a trap. It's all business, and Vegas would not seriously open the line at 20.5 if they believe OU would stomp all over Tulsa. Even when they line move to 23 and 24, public still slamming on OU. If you guys go with Underdog, most of the time you will win. That's how it is, but I guess us bettor, like to beat the favorite. That's how Vegas make it's money.

    I think my post answered your question.

    I'm more confident on OK covering than the over, since OK could very will limit Tulsa to 13 pts, etc (which I have said numerous times).  What if OK dominates Tulsa on both sides of the ball, and flexes their muscle yet again?  Then I'm screwed because OK scores almost all the points, which isn't enough to get the over.  Again, I think this line is an overreaction to Tulsa going toe to toe with BYU, and pulling off the upset.
