TX Tech +30 @ OK - What? Is Vegas Serious?

[Romocide]

This is about as easy a pick as their has ever been. Oklahoma has to play a 100% perfect game to cover the spread on this game. Not gonna happen. Tech is gonna score some points. No way they get beat by 5 scores. It would take them turning the ball over 5-6 times and having just a nightmare of a game. Nope. They're gonna be pumped for this game. Always are. Take the points.

A teaser of Tech and the over is even better.

45-27 Oklahoma

[brahmabull117]

They're gonna be pumped for this game. Always are

they lost by 38 points last year in this matchup in a game that Oklahoma could have won by 60 if they didn't take their foot off the gas in the 3rd quarter (OU scored 38 points just at halftime). 2 Years before that, OU beat TT 65-21 at home in an even worse beatdown


this is a terrible matchup for Texas Tech - their short passing high tempo gimmick offense does not work against a defense with the conditioning, speed and athleticism that OU's defense has. They will dominate the game and Oklahoma's offense should go up and down the field with ease on the swiss cheese defense of TT



Look for a 55-14 maybe 55-21 type score in this one

[Romocide]

What matter is how they've looked this year. Have lost by a combined total of 12 points to two very good teams in T A&M and K. State. Both games that they could have won. This team has a fighting mentality. They play hard until the end. They won't let an early deficit deflate them. As some point in the game, Ok will take their foot off the gas, and Tech will still be playing hard. That equals garbage time points. Ok is just lucky that they didn't play them last week because Tech, given the opportunities that Kansas had, would have upset them.

And the Sooners aren't holding them to 14 points. Tech is the 9th best scoring team in the country. The 6th best offense in the country. Put up 34 and 40 points against 2 top 10 teams this year. They're gonna get theirs.

Texas Tech also plays a lot better at home than road which you're forgetting. For example, they usually play tough at home vs OU but get their doors blown off when they travel to Oklahoma



TT has also yet to face a team with the defensive speed and athleticism all across the board like OU. They won't allow more than 21 points and Landry Jones and company should score 50+ points with ease



the other thing is that OU played very flat last week against Kansas so you know Stoops chewed their asses out all week in practice. They won't get outworked 2 weeks in a row and if they play hard, they will win by 35+

[sandman0713]

forget it brah...this is clearly someone who can't look past the obvious exterior and focus on matchups. find me another team romo who have held tech to less than 300 yards in 3 or 4 of their last 10 meetings...ou has. this game is a beatdown, and that is why the total is rising. don't know if it quite ends with a cover or not, but if it doesn't you will certainly have to sweat it out. 17-21 points at the very tops for tech.

[BigDofBA]

I'm an OU alumni and goto a lot of games. I doubt they covet this.

48-24 seems about right. It seems like everytime we play Tech they always get these garbage TDs late when we have our third string in.

OU could be up 48-10 with our backups and Tech will be stopping the clock and doing all sorts of stupid things.

Tech sucks this year but they will score just enough to cover after OU gets up big and loses interest.

what do you think about the first half for this play?

[BigDofBA]

I like it.

Then take Tech second half.

I told people to take KU first half last week. Then everyon took KU in the second half for some reason and OU won by 30.

[BigDofBA]

OU steamrolls teams in the first half at home. The only exception I can think of is Mizzou at home this year but Mizzou has a good defense, can run the ball, and their QB can scramble away from pressure.

Tech had a lousy defense, can't run the ball, and Douchee won't be able to run away from our pass rush.

After a poor performance in the first half last week against KU, I expect OU to start fast this week.

I have a feeling OU will force som early turnovers in this game and put Tech away early.

I don't like the total for the game because Tech will be doing everything they can to score late even when our backups are in.

Tech isnt anywhere near what they were when Leach coached them.

You should check out the Tech/K-State thread from last week. Everyone though Tech was the best play on the board and that game played out exactly how I said it would.

[Superman455]

I like the points here. OK couldn't score touchdowns in 6 trips to the redzone against Kansas State last week. I am taking the points here. GL

[BigDofBA]

I agree with taking the points for the game.

Red Zone offense was an emphasis in practice this week for OU. Expect them to slow down their tempo when they get down there this week.

I like OU first half and Tech second half.

You migt get a better line than + 30 if you wait until halftime.

I'd be very scared taking Texas Tech in this game


TT's defense is so atrocious that I wouldn't be surprised to see Oklahoma lead this game like 65-14 in late 3rd quarter which would be impossible to backdoor

[jakeloftin2186]

POUND POUND POUND the over

i going to do a big 12 parlay this week
OSU-MIZZOU OVER
A&M -20.5
KSU -11
OU-TECH OVER

very nice post man...ty. after thinking about what you posted i think this is the one more play i was looking for saturday. i wish i had never put money on the game with ou - the points, but too late. don't usually play half lines, but this 1st half looks very good to me. btw people, i don't think anyone here is saying that tech is not capable of a backdoor cover. i think people are just saying that this game is not going to be close at all...and if you take tech the best you could prolly hope for is a backdoor late. ou is completely capable of beating them by 50+ if they choose to do so.

[tokio]

The line is climbing because of how bad Tech's defense is (giving up way too many points). The question is whether Tech's offense (which is decent) can keep up and put up points against OU's very good D. However, I'd hate to see so many missed opportunities by OU again like last week.

[chrisharvard01]

Great thread guys

[Romocide]

TX Tech with a nice start to the game. We'll see if they can keep it up.

[Pew Pew]

Oklahoma's offense isn't doing shit tonight

[nomar122977]

just like last week vs kansas when will i ever learn oh well its early

[Pride]

oklahoma is not winning this game

[Pew Pew]

If OU is a first half team... then yes... OU backers are fuucked...

[nomar122977]

wow ou blows

[Pew Pew]

fuuuck choklahoma...

[Romocide]

Major upset possibility going on here. OU will make it a game before all is said and done. I have a TT +30/Over 70 parlay and a very very small wager on TT ML that I made for shits and giggles. I still think, odds are, OU comes back and wins, I just want the over to hit. A TT win would be just be a little bonus.

[chrisharvard01]

Holy shit!!!!!


I'm sure there are people that will say OU is whore shit and they knew it all along......

[chrisharvard01]

Great thread man, you really blew the doors off this game when everyone told you no way it could happen. Cheers.

[Romocide]

Thank ya, sir.

[sandman0713]

i guess ou doesn't play first halfs anymore. hope they start out that way against us first half...lol. 2 things almost certain here:

1. my oklahoma -30 is a loser

2. tech will most likely still lose this game

once my bet on oklahoma is done tho i want them to lose str8 up. just seriously doubt it happens, and i doubt tech scores 2nd half. maybe i just overrate ou...prolly. congrat's to any with the easy +30.

[Romocide]

OU stopping TT on 4th and Goal was huge. I like the idea of going for it there, and trying for the knockout blow, but those 3 points would be pretty nice to have right now.

Oops.

[Romocide]

In a perfect world, OU ties it up so that I hit the over in my parlay. Then TT kicks a FG with no time remaining for the win.

[Romocide]

Lol, this is even better. There's the over. Close this one out now TT.

[Wrecktangle]

Nice call.

[riskyProps]

The number 3 team losing to an unranked team. LOL! it's been a crazy ride today.

[thebestthereis]

You need OU in a 30 team teaser or you got torched
