that has nothing to do with my love for Art Briles or Baylor, that is basically thinking they will win if you make that bet, they have lost by 30 points two straight years and this Baylor team isn't worse than they were then, is OU 30 points better? maybe they are but I'm not going to put my money on it
I just watched two OU games a couple days ago that my friend got for me, I had only seen a QTR and a half or so of them this year
one of those games I saw was the OU/Tulsa game, that is Art's scheme that's being run at Tulsa, OU had all sorts of issues with it, Tulsa made a game of that, OU has not shown the ability the stop the Baylor attack so if you bet them then you are betting they outscore them
I was really impressed with OU's new offense though and that is a way better version of OU, this OU team can beat the vast majority of the teams in the top 10 in my opinion, I really like what I see from them
if Russell were playing then I'd lay 9-10 without hesitation in Waco but would probably take OU in Norman, that's how much better I think this OU team is
with the new freshman not being able to run and create all sorts of issues for OU I think that changes things, do I think OU wins though? ummmmmm, NO
one team wins in Waco and its Baylor, that's just the way it is
I'm gonna wait during the week to see what happens with injury reports, etc & mainly the weather
no matter what though, I won't be betting OU unless the line went to double digits, no fkn way I would back them at 5, that is just reaching for straws in my opinion (not a homer opinion, a real opinion)
