Tech +15 @ Okie Lite
UT -16 @ ku
TCU -28 @SMU
Baylor -23.5 @ ISU

UTEP
Tech
KU
TCU
Baylor

That UT/KU line is a joke. The only way UT covers that is if KU scores less than 6.

I agree on all but Baylor... I'd be on ISU for the same reason I'd be on ku though. Baylor vs UT next week, home team, and warm weather team traveling to potential cold/shitty weather. We're lucky the ISU game was at 11am. I'm not sure we woulda gotten out un-scathed if it were a 7:15pm kick.

ISU is really really really bad defensively. The first 6 quarters of the season is much more indicative of their performance than the last 6. Really through the first 2 games the only good quarter of football that defense has played is the 3rd quarter against us. And as masochistic as ISU fans are, turning up in the numbers that they do, Jack Trice stadium is not loud at all. I would be stunned if Baylor doesn't score 56+

Maybe Baylors WBB coach dies in a plane crash and the team will be all distracted.

That would be a much bigger deal than when it happened to Kurt Budke. Sorry people who know the Budke's, just speaking the truth here.

I find MiR's irrational bias against ISU bizarre. They suck, but they aren't KU terrible. I think they're clearly better than KU and Ttech, both who have far worse defenses.

Also, UT is not nearly as bad as you mongoloids make them out to be. They lost to BYU and UCLA with a new QB and a first year coach. They'll improve as the year moves along. Their game against KU isn't going to be competitive. KU's offense is LOL terrible.

Do you dumbasses realize the talent gap between Texas and KU? KU isn't going to cover.

last game in lawrence was 21-17 - this could be one of the more compelling games of the weekend

They're better than KU, they aren't better than Tech. I wouldn't pick UT to cover -16 against ISU either, I'm not confident that UT's offense can score enough against any Big 12 defense to cover that. Baylor has the best offense in the country, I'll pick them to cover every spread until they don't.

Maybe they will... I haven't bet it yet but IF I do, I'm taking ISU. Strange crap happens up there at night. I was stunned that they hung with us the last two times, I was stunned when they upset oSu 3 yrs ago, I was stunned when they took UT to the wire last fall, etc., etc., etc.

You might very well be right, however with Baylor in a look-ahead spot on natural grass in front of a bunch of drunk corn-farmers is not the ideal spot to give 3TD's IMHO.

I agree with this. ISU grass is going to be long as crap and it fucks we everybody. Nobody can make a cut on that shitty field.

What about the decided schematic advantage that Mr. Superbowlrings brings to the table?

It's already down to 26.5

Gotcha. your flip/flopped use of the +/- threw me off.

I grabbed it at 30.5 before the real free fall began. If it continues to fall, I may look to middle half of it.

How does UT not cover at least 20 vs KU? Could Duke really beat UT?

KU is pretty bad, but UT shouldn't be favored by that much vs. anybody on the road.

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #43 on:** September 23, 2014, 10:56:36 AM »

I think Duke is better than UT.

Looking ahead to their game with Baylor during ku's "super bowl" can't be beneficial I wouldn't think...

Duke would be the 2nd best team in the Big 12 and they'd smash Texas.
