Texas -6 to -4 over night?

**laxdjock** · 10-28-08, 08:45 PM

-3.5 now. I thought it'd go -6...to -7.5, then come back. What the heck?!

**Ralphie1412** · 10-28-08, 08:52 PM

people are hammering tech? I love texas

**Trey333** · 10-28-08, 09:05 PM

I don't get this. TTU runs a spread a lot like Mizzou's and uses a lot of wide O-Line splits. Thats what killed Mizzou vs UT and OSU was that they were able to get a lot of Pressure with simple D-Line Stunts and drop 7 in coverage. UT has one of the best DEs in the country and he'll have a field day rushing inside their wide 3 gap untouched.

Keep driving the line down, just makes it easier

I will be unloading on Texas by the end of the night.. Hope you all jump on this as well.

Heavy hitters on Tech. now to get line lower, then they will hit Texas hard when game starts. I think lol.

**rossta4i** · 10-28-08, 11:02 PM

I'm leaning Texas but I'll have to wait to see where the line moves before game time.

**dwaechte** · 10-28-08, 11:08 PM

Wow. Very weird to see this kind of massive movement on such a high profile game. Injury concerns?

**etothep** · 10-28-08, 11:15 PM

Horns are -3.5 on my book. Better idea to go ahead & buy a point to get it under 3 or do you guys actually see it dropping all the way to 3?

**saddestbison** · 10-29-08, 12:16 AM

I can't believe the movement on this game

**LT Profits** · 10-29-08, 03:34 AM

Actually, the entire movement took place between roughly 6:30 and 7:30 ET Tuesday night, when the betting percentage on Texas Tech rose from 45% to 55%. That is a lot of action in one hour on a Tuesday.

As of this second, it has moved back to roughly 50/50 (Actually Texas now 51%).

Where do you get your numbers LT?

I think he pays extra to get better numbers, bmw was telling me about a site...I thought about subscribing to a site, I am sure it is worth it for the knowledge just haven't pulled the trigger on it quite yet...

**Trey333** · 10-29-08, 04:43 AM

Colt McCoy and Texas all day. They've faced better offenses this year and much better defenses. TTU can't say close to the same. This feels like a gift.

GL either way you choose. I'm thinking Texas wins by 10+

**I.R.B** · 10-29-08, 04:55 AM

Im waiting on the o/u for a parlay..

72

Big number.

**I.R.B** · 10-29-08, 07:57 AM

dont you think thats cover Lt?

**LT Profits** · 10-29-08, 08:11 AM

I give up on this game. LOL

I was all set to make Texas my biggest bet of the year, but that major move Tuesday scared me away. Now I don't know what to expect. I do lean ever so slightly to the Over, but I just can't bring myself to bet Over 70-anything.

**I.R.B** · 10-29-08, 08:28 AM

Im still on Texas and i also do lean toward the over 72 points is alot im hoping the public moves this over down a bit. See that happing?

**LT Profits** · 10-29-08, 11:23 AM

I'm sorry, that should have read 75, and it is already up to 76!

**daneblazer** · 10-29-08, 04:52 PM

there's a lot of media types of Texas Tech. If there's a game Texas will lose the rest of the season, this is it

I would have to say the Big 12 championship.

**goldengoat** · 10-29-08, 06:47 PM

did people hammer tech ML or was it spread action?

**laxdjock** · 10-29-08, 10:31 PM

This kind of movement is most likely going to make this a no go for me. I was feeling like TTech +7.5 was my strike number, and honestly thought that is where it'd be right now. I would probably pull the trigger at +7 or buy up, but at +3.5....I don't see any value in that number, and the ML isn't worth the risk. Unless there is a swing the other way, I'll most likely pass.

U75 may be a play though....hopefully it creeps up to 76-77.

**THEGREAT30** · 10-29-08, 11:43 PM

Still hoping it goes to a field goal or less

**l7ustin** · 10-30-08, 01:54 AM

Just put a pretty big bet on Texas -4. GL to me

**I.R.B** · 10-30-08, 03:08 AM

Man i dont no what to think on this game anymore.. Looks like big money could be on Tech.

**l7ustin** · 10-30-08, 11:00 AM

Tech fans seem to think they are going to win...Any sensible non-biased person i have talked to likes Texas or NO ACTION. I have seen nothing but impartials side with Tech.

They played ONE good game this year.

The Tech squad that played ATM and Neb will get BLOWN OUT

Oklahoma State Oklahoma and Mizzou are all better than Tech

**starboots** · 10-30-08, 11:57 PM

As a Texas Tech student I would like to think we are going to win but I know this game is going to be close or even a loss for us. I am not going to take any action on this bet but if I was going to I would play the UNDER 75. I think this game is going to get to 71 or 72 points but not over.

I know you were waiting for this. I honestly think McCoy and Shipley make a statement and score 42+. TTU may score 30, but I wouldn't touch the O/U. Texas all the way on the spread.

GL either way you choose

I've been kicking around the Under all week. I may put 0.5 unit on it for fun.
