we've got to get 1 out of the next 3 ..........

[kslim]

You do know we are playing the Baylor game in Manhattan, right?

Right now, I would guess we would be about 6-7 point dog against Baylor.

About 1-3 point dog against TCU and OU.

right.  which means that, even if your lines are correct (which they won't even be close), we're essentially 9-10 pt. dogs against Baylor and 4-6 pts against TCU and OU.  we're getting points for home field adv

dont even try to explain any further. its pointless

So in trying to guess the line, we are supposed to ignore the 3-4 points given for homefield advantage?  Even though those games will be played at BSFS?  If the line is set at 6, we are not "essentially 9 point underdogs"   That doesn't make sense.  The home field advantage is factored in for a reason, namely, that it affects the outcome of games.  I think what you want to say is that K-State would be a 9 point dog on a neutral field.  I get that.  But it is irrelevant to the current conversation, because the game is being played at BSFS.

my point was they give us three for all three of those games. the line will be higher because of that. with that said no way in hell are we 1-3 point dogs against tcu or ou. its going to most likely be in the 8-10 range

When you are getting 3 points as the underdog, the line gets lower.

yes.  the moral of the story is that these teams are better than us and wins against them will be upsets. 

thank god we have them at home.

TCUs offense has been absolute dog crap outside of Texas the last couple of years and their defense is completely decimated. We're either going to win that game or it will be very close.

If bazooka joe tells the coaches we need to throw the ball more  and we don't let the dimel duo tear us apart  . we win 2 of the next 3. Also hopefully we don't go into any more triple overtime games. Otherwise Go Cats!

I don't know, if you told me the TCU game was going to be a triple overtime game, than at least I know it is going to be a close game.

No human being should have to sit through a triple overtime game again with Daddy Dimel calling the shots for the wildcat and little baby dimel against TCU. Talk about ultimate amount of stress. Close games in general especially against one of the top two teams in the confy and top 10 in the nation.

I've already prepared my wife for the beating we're going to take on Saturday night.

Hey all, I'm a Baylor fan that is traveling with a friend this weekend to Lawrence for the Kansas game. Since this is a morning game, and your game is at night, we have decided to go to the TCU game in Manhattan that night. I have a few questions for you guys:

1. What is the visiting section of the stadium (I want to avoid this at all costs)?

2. Where is the best place to park?

3. Where is the best place to tailgate/hang out and see festivities before hand?

4. Anything else I should know before going?

I'll be cheering for you guys, good luck this weekend!

[420seriouscat69]

South east corner is the visiting section.

[Pete]

I am going to watch us in the Cactus Bowl from a sports bar in Cancun.  Really looking forward to it.

Was this because she's white.   
And what instrument did you use? 

[Steffy08]

Thoughts steffy?

Yep, I had it pretty close.

The line opened at 6.5, which is higher than my 1-3, but I also said you have to take in to account that last weekend's results might change the spread.

TCU opened at 17 point favorites verses UT, and won by 43.  So, they outperformed by 26 points against UT.  When you take 26 divided by 5 (TCU total games), TCU looks like about a five-point better team than they were this time last week.

We opened at 4 point dogs verses OSU, and we lost by 2.  Which means we outperformed by 6 points.  When you take 6 points divided by 4 (KSU total games), KSU looks like about a 1.5 point better team than they were this time last week.

So, TCU is 5 points better this week, and KSU is 1.5 points better this week.  Which means TCU is going to get an extra 3.5 points this week as compared to last week.

So, if you take 6.5 (opening line this week) minus the 3.5 adjustment for last week games, you get TCU -3.  Which is what I predicted, subject to the events of this weekend.  (Not to mention, the line is probably inflated a little bit by the fact that we played most of last weekend with an fn wr at QB, and then he got hurt.)

[Functianalyst]

for some reason that makes no rough ridin' sense, i think our best chance is against TCU

I agree, after how we played this weekend in Stillwater, I think we get one of these in Manhattan and it could come this weekend.

I'm hoping for 2 of the next 3,    although today probably won't be one of them
