Texas A&M against Oklahoma St

**SBR_John** · 09-30-10, 09:43 AM

I like OSU too but have to say this could go either way. A&M is probably not a team you want to bet on every week. Great offense but terrible defense. If their offense is off they get blown out by Slippery Rock. But if their offense is ON they could hold serve and beat anyone. My lean is on OSU because I like their pass rush and that could be problem for A&M. But like I said, if A&M is on this will be a very long game for OSU backers.

A&M has a terrible defense? They lead in the nation in yds per play allowed and have 2 1st round draft picks on the unit.

ALL the books just moved to -2.5

have you seen who they played? cal had a great statistical d until they played a real team in nevada and got blown out of the water while giving up 40+

Through three games in 2010, the Texas A&M defense might be one of the most improved units in all of college football. It ranks 10th in total defense and has given up just over 14 points a game, good for No. 15 nationally.

They've also kept opponents out of the red zone on all but eight drives this season, the best in the Big 12, allowing them to score just five times, also the Big 12's best and fourth best nationally.

Granted this was against non conference opponents, A&Ms defense is far from "terrible"

They have played an FCS team and 2 FBS teams w/ a total of 1 win between 'em.

Not saying their "D" is not real good but, like OK ST, I don't think they've been tested, much.

OK State beat Wa State, who is probably the worst team in FBS. Troy has lost 2 games by a total of 4 points and Tulsa is 2-2 or 3-1. (sorry, didn't look it up)

I like OK ST -3.

GL w/ your play.

OK St should run them off the field

yeah....thats exactly what this line says to me

**katstale** · 09-30-10, 10:36 AM

buy it on the way down--this is good spot for OSU. I do not see them getting blown out, but it could go that way for them. I see a struggle thats down to a field goal who has the ball last kind of game or OSU gets on a roll at home and overwhelms them. either way, smart money i think is OSU

Edit: Man do i love slingbox!!

I lean Texas A & M pretty heavy in this one...

**Hotlanta Steam** · 09-30-10, 11:03 AM

The OSU offense is clicking on all cylinders right now... A&M looks good on D because they played an anemic FIU offense...people are losing sight of the fact that A&M had to score a lot in the 4th quarter just to win against the Panthers.s...

Holgerson has an offense that is unstoppable if you can't get to the QB within 2 seconds... OSU has been under the radar in its recruit of athletes but it will all be on display tonight..

**pavyracer** · 09-30-10, 11:04 AM

I think backing a team on the road who won only 1 game last year, the year before and 2 years ago on the road in conference play is suicidal. Basically they have played 5 times on the road each year in Big 12 for the last 3 years and won 1 game each year.

Good points, Ok State is no Nevada though. Ok state is an average-below average team who will be lucky to finish the season with a winning record in my opinion.

I think the TAMU defense is very legit beyond what the stats say.

**Jakesteen** · 09-30-10, 11:34 AM

Oklahoma State is an average or below average team...yeah right.
They're a team that can put a 40 or 50 or 60 spot on the board any given week.

If you play Tulsa who has less heart than the Tin Man maybe. Lets see how they do tonight after they get hit.

BOL on your play

**SBR_John** · 09-30-10, 11:59 AM

Those rankings, A&M with the 10th best defense in the country is a joke. Texas had the #1 defense until they played a team that a few players. A&M's defense couldnt stop a team we could field here with JJ Gold as the QB. But when prepared properly, and this is one of those games they've been looking forward to, they score and score spme more. Nevada like. Might be a better play OVER then to try to cap who will have the ball last.

Exactly! I think Washington had the best defense in the country until they played Nebraska and lost by 30 points.

**wandalsh84** · 09-30-10, 12:02 PM

My actual thoughts are taking Oklahoma State and the over. I favor both plays and if this stays under, it is probably bc A&M turns the ball over or isn't rolling. I think OK St is in full stride at home and puts up 35 pts, so the question will be if they blow out A&M or if A&M can hang and push this over. My current thought is that Ok St takes this 42-31 tonight

**homerbush** · 09-30-10, 12:03 PM

I like okie state and the under. With that said I am not sure if it is two straight plays, a parlay, or a teaser. I don't like it that much so I am leaning a little on a parlay.

**DangerousOne** · 09-30-10, 12:04 PM

OK St beat an average Troy team and a legit (at least on one side of the ball) Tulsa squad. A&M struggled to get by FIU at home (The game was tied w/ 5:00 left) and would have gone in to the half up just 14-10 at home against La Tech if it wasn't for a 44yd TD pass w/ no time on the clock. A&M is definately much improved on D but has struggled against below avg teams at home. Now they go on the road against a OK St team that has put up at least 40 in all 3 games (Including 65 in 2 of the 3). I lean OK St -3 at home. They won't have their way w/ A&M like they did w/ Tulsa or Washington St, but I don't have alot of confidence in a team I watched put it on the ground 5X in 1 half at home (vs LA Tech) against the #2 passing O in the country @ T. Boone Pickens. Just my take, GL to you whatever side u play.

**Sirus73** · 09-30-10, 12:06 PM

Take the under and you can thank me later.

**Night-Tripper** · 09-30-10, 12:10 PM

**Mattn3236** · 09-30-10, 12:10 PM

Take the over both teams put up at least 40

I doubt that...

**dimetimekid** · 09-30-10, 12:15 PM

the only way A&M has a shot is if their qb lights it up. johnson is a beast, but if you watched any of the FIU game last week, the offensive line had trouble the first 2 or so quarters stop the rush of FIU. I can only imagine what will happen tonite if the same goes on.

I played big on ok. state.

Whether you like the side or not is another question, but I agree Oklahoma St at home should have their offense operating at a very high level. They have looked great all year albeit against some poor defenses, but they really light up the score. I don't see how this game doesn't turn into a track meet. The number has even come down a bit too! I like the OVER
