Is this the right line for this game? I can't see them losing by no more then a few points... Infact i put a small bet on them on the ML...
Thoughts?

They haven't played on the road (Wazzou the doormat doesn't count) so no guarantee they will move the ball as well on the road as they do at home...
Their defense certainly won't be the first to slow down Mizzou.
I'd stay away, personally.

I think Hawk is trying to say that Mizzo is making these teams look bad. But, I knew Neb. was not that good anyway. But ILL and NV have good offenses and they didnt look so good against Mizzo.
+14 is a nice number though, I have been looking closely at this one as well...BOL

Why not just play the OVER instead?
You don't seem to be under the impression that Ok State will stop Mizzou's offense, which is smart, because they won't.
So you are counting on Oklahoma State to keep up with them/not be stopped on D, right?
Why let a last minute Mizzou TD ruin your cover? Might as well play the over instead. Mizzou 49 - Oklahoma State 34 is a loss for you but a win for the over.
If you believe Ok State will get to 35, just play the over instead.

I think Mizzo will light up the scoreboard. I cant see OK State stopping them. They let A&M put up 20+ against them and they dont have nothing close to the offense that Mizzo has. I just see this game being a bit let down for OK State and Mizzo rolling big time.

USC,
I do like the over as well..
Still not sold on the 14, but it will get to at least 15 before game time.
The best bet on this game is probably the OVER!!

Mizzu will roll. Unless the Cowboys can get serious pressure on Daniel he will have a field day. The Aggies moved the ball easily on the Cowboys this weekend, they just had 5 turnovers in the first half, two that went for TD's. Then, they fumbled twice on their way to scoring agasint OK State. I wouldn't touch OK State with a stick. Their defense will get railed

1 touchdown was a bad play on defense and A&M scored on an 80 yard TD run and 2 of the TD came in the 4th quarter when OSU had the 2nd and 3rd string in. I dont think there is any team that can stop Mizzou, you can only slow them down a bit and attempt to contain them.

Don't get me wrong, I don't like the over... don't dislike it, but don't like it either. 80 points is a lot of points.
I was just suggesting to I'm Rich to consider it instead. If he likes Oklahoma State +14, I imagine he is thinking along the lines of a 42 - 49 Type of game... I doubt he is thinking OSU miraculously gains a defense overnight and the final score ends up 21 - 10.
As such, if he believes OSU will hang with Mizzou, the game HAS to go over for that to happen. So I was just saying bet the Over instead, so when it is 35 - 49 and Mizzou scores to make it 56 - 35, he doesn't lose.

I may be biased and all, but they don't impress you? Chase Daniel hasn't had a 3 and out all year! Weak competition or not, they simply can't be stopped on offense. Okla St. hasn't played anyone good. Plus Mizzou's defense is getting better. They shut down a decent Nebraska offense on the road. Mizzou should win big.
