Oklahoma State vs Txam

[Brutus84]

Okie State getting 3 points. Exactly what I was hoping for. Sounds yummy.

[bb_skoots]

hammer the over no matter what it is.

[Machine Choice]

Where is the game being played? Texas A&M is going to run wild on OSU's defense if last night was any indication

[dume walker]

Game's being played in College Station.

[aimgator]

like osu and over

[BettingWizard]

OSU won't stop them in college station

+ 1

Tamu is a MUCH more well rounded team. Will be the best D OkieSt has seen all year. Will look into it more, but TamU will probably be my pick seeing as how I have them winning the Big12 this year.

[Sunde91]

forget about the side here

last year came down to an OSU last second field goal at home to win by 3

but the game went for 73 points on a 65.5 total points even with a slow 28 point first half

Over @anything less than 70 = autoplay, though it should be about 68

[ShogunRua]

This is going to be a great game...agree that over is probably the play here. Let's see what it opens at..

[morganwags]

gonna be the game to watch

[Sunde91]

I take back what I said about the side.

Tam -3 +100 is a great bet right now at 5Dimes

Tam has the big edge in D + home field

OSU has a slightly better O, but their D is terrible and gave up 33 points to Tulsa that had a backup QB and 34 points to Louisianna Laf. Tam has a seasoned QB and a great rushing game that will kill them

Tam -3 +100, get on this value train

[LLXC]

Will be curious what the o/u is.

Agree. Hope it goes to 3.5 -- then we'll know we have a winner.

agreed

[gshock1]

I like SDSU getting 8.5 in Michigan. I bought this up to +10. Also on TAMU and locked in Cincinnati -7

[Ca$hfloW]

I'll be at the game, biased here but tamu rolls. Kyle field and tamu defense is going to give Osu trouble

[BigdaddyQH]

I have Okie State +6 on a futures wager at the Nugget. Basically, A&M has played two nobodies (SMU and Idaho) at home, while Okie State has defeated Arizona at home and Tulsa in Tulsa, even though that game was a joke. I give a slight edge to Okie State as far as quality wins go. I think this game goes back and forth. In four of the past 5 meetings between these two teams, one game has been decided by 5 points, one game by 3 pooints, and two games by 1 point. I can see another close one here. I would not lay any points on this game.

[rwhite71]

OSU has no defense this could get ugly.

[Urbanwildlife]

I have watched both these teams play, and I have to believe that Texas A&M will win the game because of the reasons other mentioned, the lack of any type of defense from Oklahoma State.

i'm going to disagree with your analysis of the OSU tulsa game. osu was up 45-6 then gave up an 80 yard td run, failed to recover what was probably an onside kick, gave up a 43 yard td to make it 45-19 halfway through the 3rd quarter. then they traded tds the rest of the way. if my team is up 25 points who cares if they trade tds at 3am. also, TAM -3 isnt really a "value train" if they are gonna get steamrolled by the OSU "scoring train."

A&Ms defense is greatly improved and will get some stops vs this osu offense, I do not think that osu will be able to handle the running attack/ short passing game that a&m has. I also think that a&m will be able to control the tempo of the game since we arnt a big strike offense. I think it's going to be a close game but in the end I think the combination of the better a&m defense and the Kyle field advantage (one of the biggest in college football) will allow a&m to cover.

well that game doesn't really matter


the point is that OSU is a mediocre defensive team with a great offense while AnM has a great offense with a very good defense (and homefield advantage in this case)


3 points is definately good value here

[csknight3]

I hope everyone hammers OSU. I want A&M at -2.5 with no extra juice.

[csknight3]

Also if this game was at night I would put everything on A&M with home field advantage; however, its at 2:30 which and will still have a lot of energy, but night games at Kyle Field are just ridiculous. I think OSU caught a little bit of a break with that.

[Sunde91]

+100 was part of the value, now it's -110

@Tulsa and Zona are quality wins. you must be kidding, yes

OSU is worse than mediocre on D. 92nd in Total D, 76th in Scoring. Lou Laf scored 34 points on them. TAM is 15th in Total D 9th in Scoring D.

Remember too TAM is at home to avenge last year's last second FG loss in a game they led 14-0. TAM outgained them that game by 150 yards and lost because of 5 TOs. That loss cost them the B12 South. This is their year to breakout and they perform here.

Mediocre is a generous evaluation IMO. I would rate them below average myself.

Great offense usually is bested by solid defense on the road. I like A&M as well here.

[MoneySpeaks]

Taking TXA$M all the way to the bank.

[NostraDanUS]

I have the total at 65.

[Scuba Gooding Jr]

Love A&M here, Gray and Michael are gonna run wild.

[Sunde91]

pinnacle -3.5 now and others -3 -120

despite 73% on OSU cause they love the video game numbers from the O http://pregame.com/EN/main/sports-be...-spy-insights/

[Machine Choice]

Weeden will throw 3 INTs, look at what he has already done this year. TAMU looks great in this spot

[sandman0713]

won't bet it because i rarely bet on my team. people are just throwing a lot of dumb statements out in this thread though that are completely false. several mentions of ostate giving up 34 to laffy on d...i think there were 2 pick 6's and another really short field from int. can't remember exactly the combo but it wasn't bad d. also someone saying ostate will have problems with the short passing game and running game from a+m...this is actually where the ostate d excels even against great o's such as ou. the problems have been farther back in the secondary. they always swarm the short stuff but end up getting beat deep later. nobody knows for sure about the ostate d with the front 7 being new and the secondary being back almost in tact. people around here are saying that this front 7 can stand up against any big 12 team...but we will have to see. can't really judge from the 34 in the laffy game that really wasn't the d, and the bad d in the tulsa game was at almost 3 in the morning here in a game that the ostate side didn't even want to play. not making excuses or trying to take up for my team...just saying that people are likely to be surprised by the ostate d. also the o has a new coach and there have been quite a few changes...much more focused on the running game with multiple backs. remains to be seen how this o will respond against a good d on the road. anyways...the people saying take the over at anything under 70 and win easy might be in for a shocker. if i was forced to put money on it i would take a+m and under anything around 70. this is all just my opinion...but just remember all the mistakes you have made in the past before you say the linesmakers are way off. i would guess they have this just about on the number...at least as close as possible with all the uncertainity on the ostate side. good luck all.

[sandman0713]

also...the a+m o being great is a matter of opinion. this opinion must be based on showings against smu and idaho. the comparison above of a+m a great o and ostate a great o is one of the dumbest i have heard here...like it is a wash on the o's and we should only talk about d. the a+m o is not anywhere near the ostate o. this can be confirmed easily by looking at the scores and the caliber of opposition this season and last season...it is not even close. people just throw out dumb statements to back up whatever it is they have decided to bet...and i am just as guilty as anyone else. i find myself deciding i will bet a game first and then going and looking for reasons to back myself up and posting them here. kind of dumb when you think about it. oh well...that is the end of my rant. good luck you guys.

[csknight3]

69 is way too high IMO. Vegas knows everyone is gonna jump on the over no matter what they put it up. Yes it could happen but more likely the under. A&M can slow the game down with the run game and run some clock down and both these defenses are capable of plenty of turnovers against these aggressive offenses. Im leaning under but waiting to see if I can get it at 70+.

[sportfan]

who wouldn't take the over in this game ?
