    WVU/Texas UN(Whatever) has got me excited.

    The ineptitude of Baylors defense has put Geno Smith in the drivers seat for the Heisman. 80+ completion percentage, huge passing yardage numbers, and no interceptions. He can not play any better, but his competition will this weekend.

    TX is a run first team, and use a pro style offense. Running for first downs will eat up the clock. Secondly, WVU's defense vs a Baylor style offense will always look bad, as Baylor utilizes a no huddle/pass oriented attack. That approach was actually used by both teams, and the clock moved @ a slow pace allowing more plasys possessions. Lastly, Baylors apporach to defense is non existent. Tahts is th opposite of TX, as you will see a competent pass rush, and man to man defense.

    In conclusion the run oriented offense, and viable defense @ TX's dispense should slow the game down enough for a good under play. I expect this total to be bumped up b/c last weks performances of both teams, which only helps us.

    Kinda looking at UGA/SC the same way. UGA handed UT 3 Td's and had several long TD's. I think the over/under will be a little high.

    I agree with pretty much everything you said expect that Texas runs pro style offense because they don't. They run a lot of "wildact" formations and motion WRs into the backfield to run end arounds and sweeps. That shit wouldn't work in the NFL because NFL defenses have a lot of speed.

    Texas is a run first team though.

    Also, do you know of any good sports books for Soccer in Las Vegas? I thought I remember you saying you lived there. I will be in Vegas in two weeks and was wanting to bet some totals.

    @ BigD

    Hilton, and any Cantor outfit(HardRock/Palms/Venetian) They are not necessarily good, but have the 3way, spread, and total as options.

    I'll be staying at the Flamingo because I had an upgraded room there. The Hard Rock, Hilton, and Palms aren't very close. I'll probably try the Venetian.

    What are the Venetian's minimum wagers? I typically bet around $50 a unit.

    WVU is going to be vastly overvalued in this game. I'm taking Texas if they are favored by a TD or less. WVU can't stop a nosebleed.
