Take the over.

I think Georgia's running is gonna be tough to stop for OU. I think the matchup is better for Georgia than Oklahoma. I think game could go either way, though. Don't think it's such a slam dunk win for OU as many think.

Yeah because Oklahoma struggled so badly vs the SEC in the Sugar Bowl last year. Georgia will have the best D that OU has seen, but the smashmouth SEC hillbilly offenses aren't that hard to stop if you have enough meat up front to stop the run. They don't throw the ball. They don't have anything close to an NFL offense. OU will put 30 on anyone. Great game though!!

I'm guessing the opening line is OU -1 and the public drives it up to Georgia -2

BigdaddyQH · 12-03-17, 01:04 PM

Just a guess but OU -4 1/2 61.

Memento · 12-03-17, 01:05 PM

Just unloaded uga ml +110

Clemson Pick +110? Thats the gift!

Because the SEC actually plays defense. Fuckin OU were 28 point favorite at home and loss. Kirby Smart is gonna have a field day. Georgia got 3 NFL running backs
45-24 Georgia

OU 35-16 over Auburn last year. We'll see? You think Notre Dame holds Oklahoma to 20 points? OU will stack the line and try to make Georgia throw the ball. Georgia's gameplan can work if they have the lead, but OU has too much speed and Mayfield is too accurate! Georgia will need to get 30+ to win and I don't see it happening. Great matchup though

SEC defenses didn't fair well against OU in the last two Sugar Bowls OU played in. OU could have scored 45 points last year against Auburn if they didn't take their foot off of the gas.

You guys do realize Ohio State has NFL talent all over their defense and they couldn't stop OU right?

Georgia hasn't seen anything like OU this year. This isn't a shitty SEC offense with a bad QB that relies on 5 yard passes to the RBs out of the backfield. I love the fact that everyone thinks it's a "great matchup" for Georgia.

Georgia won't keep up here but please everyone keep betting Georgia.

How so? Bama is not going to be easy with Clemson, especially if their linebacking corps is back healthy. Gonna make it tough for Clemson's offense. Bama has the talent to beat Clemson.

RM Logic · 12-03-17, 08:50 PM

Oklahoma sucks defensively but Georgia is a mediocre passing team.
Mayfield is just so good that he will make plays against any defense.
Dont think Georgia can score enough in this game.

dmncnlou · 12-03-17, 10:14 PM

Kirby Smart can coach. Power running and defense. They score 38 plus easily. How is OU gonna stop them. Bloodbath.

Rise2Glory · 12-03-17, 10:46 PM

opening line

I think it will be very close or stretched out a bit OU - 2 or OU _6.5 O
55

Last time Kirby Smart coached against OU was in the Sugar Bowl at Bama and he got absolutley lit up to the tune of 45 points.

This time around he doesn't have Bama's athletes and this is a much, much, better OU offense.

Georgia will pop some big plays and score some points...their fans will get excited but I just don't think they'll keep up. OU has scored at least 30 in every game.

Is Georgia going to be able to score 35-40 to win? They could but in a high scoring game, I like OU's chances. It's hard for power running teams to keep up when they get behind. Even teams like Alabama. OU's defense isn't great but they still have speed and a few playmakers. If Georgia is behind and becomes predictable then OU can start forcing turnovers and the game can quickly get away from Georgia.

They couldn't stop Iowa either. The same Iowa team that had a hard time picking up first downs against the likes of North Texas and Purdue.

Georgia's a lot better than Oklahoma, who always seem to be over hyped when they have a chance at the big game. They're (OU) always flashy, they score points, and they have the "tradition", but they're as soft as whipped cream. We all went through this 2 years ago when they were favored against Clemson as the "flavor of the month" and got beat up (and I said the same things on these forums publicly about OU before that game too). OU is the school that comes up with the big win against SEC foes when the game is one that is ignored, but when they have a chance to play for the golden calf under the bright lights on the big stage, they fold up like an accordion.

Now, I'll be the first to admit that OU games from 10 years ago mean absolutely nothing regarding this years game. However, I like to fondly remember the scores from the times that those losers put that goofy looking OU helmet on in a national stage playoff/title game against another conference foe. Let's go back memory lane :

2015.... Clemson 37.......OU 17
2008.... Florida 24........OU 14
2004.... USC 55........... OU 19
2003.... LSU 21............OU 14

Here's the difference in this game. OU has a chance to win in a close game, Georgia has a chance to win by 3+ TD's. I'll be betting against OU, just like I did in '03,'04.'08, and '15. Come to think of it, I also had Boise +7 when they beat OU in the '06 Fiesta bowl and West Virginia +6 in the '07 Fiesta when they killed OU by 20. I think I also might have laid 3 when A&M killed OU in the 2012 Cotton Bowl too, but I'm not sure and it's not important enough for me to go look it up.

It will be a so called Heisman jinx game. But the big 12 is crap. UGA rolls

You do realize OU has covered a lot the last 15 years too right? I guess you have only bet against them in games they have lost and your hitting 100%. Nice work.

How smart of you to not get bet them when they’ve won and covered big games (Florida State, Notre Dame, Oregon, Ohio State, Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, etc)

Your breakdown and analysis of previous games that have already been played is spot on. A lot of that is true about OU not performing when they have played for it all.

This year they have a new coach, the best QB in the country, and the best player in the nation (Mayfield).

Did you account for that?

Interesting group you mentioned.

Oregon? The 2005 Holiday Bowl was a big game? They did win that one 17-14, but they went into Oregon to play the Ducks the very next year and lost outright when they collapsed like an accordion and gave up 21 4rth quarter points and then missed a 44 yrd field goal as time expired.

Notre Dame? Well, OU did go into South Bend in 2013 and won as a 3 pt road favorite. However, the year before that in 2012, Notre Dame went into Norman and DESTROYED Oklahoma 30-13 when Oklahoma was a 12 pt. favorite and ranked #8 in the country. Considering Oklahoma has lost 8 of their last 9 vs Notre Dame, that's a surprising team to pick for an example.

Ohio State? OU went into Columbus this year and beat Ohio State handily, and the year before, Ohio State went into Norman and beat the Sooners handily. Seems like a wash to me.

Florida State? Congrats there, you went 3-0 (including the 2000 title game) vs a team with an even bigger penchant for losing big games than OU.

Tennessee? Really? Tennessee?

You're right, they do have a new coach. But their QB isn't even top 10 in the country and he'll have a pro career on par with the likes of former Sooner QB's Jason White or Josh Heupel.

Won't be long now. Only 3 weeks away. Let's see how it plays out this year.

All those old games you're talking about involved Stoops! He sucked in big games, but I like this young guy!

Baker Mayfield not top 10? Please? Now you're just being stupid. This kid is accurate and tough as hell. He took a QB draw vs TCU and outran their LBs!! 56 yd run and he houses it if the DBs didn't have the angle. He's a very good athlete and a natural leader! I think he'll be a very good pro if he doesn't go to a soul sucker franchise like Cleveland.

Wow, a QB that can outrun LB's for a 56 yard gain. Stop the presses.

Mayfield will have a pro career about as productive as former Heisman QB's Johnny Manziel,Andre Ware,Jason White,Eric Crouch, and Pat Sullivan. This kid has a L in his forehead,and in a few weeks, there's going to be a big G on it too from Bulldog helmets.

BigDofBA · 12-11-17, 09:23 PM

Indio how big are you going on Georgia here?

You seem to be an expert on OU football.

I like your long response in regards to all the big games OU has one. I was just making fun of you. You act like you’ve only ever bet against OU when they’ve lost.

OU was the only program of the BCS era to win all 4 BCS games and a national title. They covered all of those games too.

If you only bet against OU in the games they didn’t cover you’re just lying.

Mayfield not top 10? Lol.

He is nothing like Manziel. Much stronger arm. Smarter. Can read defenses. Etc

Manziel made a name for himself off of one performance against Bama. Mayfield has done it for three years.
