Week 3 Oklahoma @ Florida St

This...is one of the silliest threads ever..
On a WAGERING forum.....all you can do is talk shit.....?

Sooner homers.....have you not watched....or bet on OU away from Norman last few years? >   they're 8-7 SU......5-9-1 ATS.....and 4-9 ATS if favored......shit talk material?

Have you taken .....even a second.....to check out Fla St?....or just continue to watch LY's game?...OVER AND OVER

FSU Offense no good ?
LY ranked #28 at 6.0/play.....OU #55 at 5.6
rushing #28 at 4.8/rush.....OU #106 at 3.3
3rd down #15.....OU #33
   NOTE : FSU faced schedule of nations 4th toughest D's....OU 17th
   * Ponder banged up all year so I wouldn't expect QB play to be down much at all....Manuel has proven he can play in pressure situations already...MVP of 2009 Gator Bowl playing hurt 

this should be the toughest team Sooners have faced (AWAY).....since '09 Horns.....other maybe '09 Nebraska
this FSU D won't be as good as either of those...but not too far behind....(OU lost both).....I give OU credit for ONE quality win in 2 years (15 games)....2010 over Okie St 47-41....as a 2' pt DOG... UConn weak....Baylor off Aggies / OSU / Texas.....later exposed as frauds by the Zookster

Sooners should be awesome offensively sure ....but now lose 4 great players from fairly average D (with loss of Lewis).....AND now.... maybe gonna lose one more.. as eligibility of DE Ronnell Lewis is in fairly serious question (announced later this week)

the " win one for Austin" theme....is effectively cancelled out ....by FSU's .....as Fisher's 6 yr old son has a potentially fatal blood disorder..

Unless Manuel looks absolutely horrible 1st 2 weeks....getting points ...(Sooners ranked #1) ..I will hammer FSU here.....with smaller amount on the ML.... 

5-4 YTD

the game has finally arrived.

Florida St +3.5

gl pro. you going big or just a normal wager?

thanks 2 units

Oklahoma has a big advantage with 2 weeks to prepare, but their road woes are a concern.

The time has COME!

I'll take "Who are the Florida State Seminoles for +3" Alex!

I like the way Manuel is hesitating and slow to make decisions in the pocket while staring down his receivers......and this is against poor competition....

Then on top of that he puts up lots of floaters......Say what you want about OU's D.....they are fast and athletic.....while Landry Jones will be drilling ropes to the best receiver corp in the country with accuracy comparable to Bradford....

After 2 weeks this game has now become a mismatch while coming into the season most thought it would be competitive....Sooner D will feast on Manuel.....and Jones will pick apart Nole secondary.

OU 38

FSU 20

FSU was playing vanilla on offense and defense if you want to judge them based on the first 2 games that is a big mistake.

So Manuel was hesitating in the pocket and staring down his receivers to avoid showing his hand to Sooners?

Ah-hah.....I've got it....he's taking a page from Sun Tzu....Appear weak when you are strong.......and intentionally throw up floaters.....

I mean what is wrong with some these people on this board. Teams DO NOT SHOW much before huge September showdowns. There is a reason they schedule gimme games or have bye weeks before these type of games. Geez

Def the "Game of the week" to watch. Perhaps even the "Game of the Month to watch" I just don't see any value in betting this game other than getting some "action". You got a loaded Oklahoma team that has had a week off going on the road into an insane stadium during the night. FSU has had a amazing recruiting class and should be prepared to face a talented but inconsistent Oklahoma road team. Much better games on the board. GL. 

Might be the most astute comment I've seen yet in this thread......FSU happy to be mediocre again............BTW....anybody mention that Sooners have Noles number......5-0 since 1970......3 Orange Bowls and then last year's absolute shutout thumping in a Nat'l Champ game.

So how far has Florida State fallen since that January 3, 2001 loss to Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl? It doesn't took too pretty:

• Have played in 3 BCS bowl games during past nine years and lost all 3, the last in 2005
• Only 1 10-win seasons (2003)
• The longest win streak is 6 in 2004
• The highest AP final ranking is 11th in 2003
• FSU has lost 42 games in the past nine seasons
• Three 7-6 records during the past four years
• Versus Top 10 teams, a dismal 6-11 W-L record
• Versus Top 25 teams, a miserable 13-19 W-L record

obviously last year was regular season game but a very big game......at least from the FSU perspective...

So going back to 2001 to back some points?

give me a break..

it's very simple.. OU has no depth on defense and struggles on the road - should I show you Landry's home/road splits?  They are not pretty..

Cmon......FSU got thumped last year by OU by more than 4 tds with a QB drafted in the 1st round of the NFL.....and replaced him with a QB that seems a bit slow upstairs who throws a very nice floater.....at least those OU defenders with no depth will think it's a very nice floater....btw consensus is this OU D with no depth is better than 2010...

And you can talk all day about Landry Jones....the same Landry Jones who will be in New York for the Heisman presentation...

Funny....I've mentioned now 3 times Manuel throws a floater and haven't yet seen any denials....

can't handicap guys getting hurt. not sure it would have mattered but gl with all your future picks.

 

FSU

5-6 YTD
