    Oklahoma State -8 @ Texas A&M


    I don't get it.

    A&M really didn't look that bad vs Arkansas on Saturday until the dropped TD pass by Ryan Tannehill. They outplayed them, then the dropped TD pass happened, followed by the only thing Ryan Mallett can do and that is throw a 50 yard bomb, then a botched 10 yard punt and another Arkansas TD. Before you know it the game got out of hand and the team lost complete confidence. Vegas must know something I don't because I dont think even the biggest homer in the world would set the line at -8. I'd consider touching A&M at +18 at least, and maybe only to tease it. Something is up with this line. It's a trap game for sure.

    Texas A&M looked awful in my opinion, they lost 47-19 after taking a 10-0 lead A&M let up 30 unanswered points. Ok St. may be one of the best offenses in the league, and A&M has a young inexperienced defense, OK St. will put up points. IMO, A&M will not be able to hang with them,as their QB has a rag arm and throws like a girl. OK St. has been dealing with injuries, but they are coming off a bye week. Ok St. wins BIG!

        Thats where you're wrong. Jerrod is actually a very good quarterback. The best i've seen them have in quite a while. He was running for his life the entire game. SEC linemen vs a True Freshmen. It was a huge mismatch. You can rag on the entire team for playing terrible, but Jerrod is a very good quarterback. Much better than Stephen McGee, who got drafted in the 4th Round.

              OVER, OVER, OVER. The only bet to make.

              I dont judge teams after playing in Texas Stadium. The whole environment throws off teams. Just a theory.

                  Are you high? Your pretty much accusing me of being a homer when im implying my team sucks more than Vegas thinks apparently..

                    It seemed to me that you were saying 8 points is too much to give a&m.

                      I meant to say that I'd only touch A&M if the spread was around +18. At -8, with a hurt OSU team or not, it kind of does seem like a gift. This team has potential, but it takes more than 2 years to wash away the disaster fran created there. I was trying to figure out why Vegas set the line so slow, but it has trap written all over it. Its one of those games that Vegas must know something that I dont, because I can not see A&M covering this, ever. I could see 75% of the public on OSU. Anyway, we'll see how hurt OSU is come Friday/Saturday

                              Okie St was beaten by Houston. Houston was beaten by Utep who got smashed by UT 64-7. A&M +8 is reasonable
