    Texas -1.5
    Tough to win on the road in the Big 12, but this team is too talented to not get back on track. Thoughts on this one fellas?

    I don't know about them. They have lost 3 of 4 games lately. I would be careful here.

      OK St does have a couple of weapons, but you would think Pittman would have his way if he doesn't get in foul trouble. Given this I'm still a little weary backing Texas.

          It seems lately they always having to come from behind or barely hang on... I've been passing on them lately till i see more of a dominate team they were showing early season.

                        Oklahoma State is 11-0 at home, so no way I would even consider Texas. That said, I am passing on Side and am locked in at UNDER 152.

                            Hopefully no OT, only fear I have in taking the under. Burned 4 times over the weekend on games taken on tbe under then went OT and went over. GLA

                              Yes, seems like the under is the best play. There won't be any surprises if either team wins so it's tough to play a side. Texas has played very unintelligent ball and you can't count on a team like that.

                                Exactly how relevant do you find that to be when their 11-0 home opponents reads the following: Seattle, Southern, N. Texas, Prairie View A&M, Texas San Antonio, Arkansas Pine Bluff, Pacific, Coppin St, Texas Tech, Colorado, Texas A&M?

                                This game reeks of OU vs both OSU and KSU last year where they opened as only a 1.5 fav and either didn't move at all or closed as the dog. Texas with no fear

                                      I say it everytime someone wants to bet on Texas. Fade them in the 1st half and all season i have been killing it...fade fade fade.....BOL to whatever you choose.

                                        The last three conference home wins by an average of +16.0 points validates their home record though.

                                          This is not dissimilar to earlier this season when Oklahoma was undefeated at home and were anywhere between +1.5 and -1 vs. Oklahoma State, and everyone was saying State would roll because Oklahoma hadn't beaten anyone at home.

                                          In tonight's case, Oklahoma State has always had a strong home court advantage, so this is nothing new.

                                                that is a good point but im not sure how much of us being wrong on ok st against okl was because a bad ok st.....here lately it seems like we havent forgotten how good they are but have seen how ineffective they are if that guy from louisville has a bad game.

                                                texas is slackin right now but is that why ok st might work out, or is it ok st being better than a lot of people can remember.

                                                my first instinct this morning was texas rolls and wins this game by about 11 points........but then i started realizing there werent really good games today.....flyers is probably a trap too.

                                                michael pittman for texas is a really good player and when probably go really high in the draft when he comes out.

                                                  Always thought sportsbooks should let you buy OT insuance or something. Pay 5% and OT does not count.

                                                    so does it count if you take the over and ot helps you?

                                                    that Is a pretty weak home schedule they've played so far. North Texas is pretty alright though. heheh.

                                                      Love your Handle as a FSU fan myself.

                                                      Talent is useless without a competent coach. Rick Brainless is not that. Remember how far he took a Durant led TX squad.... nowhere.

                                                        texas is slackin right now but is that why ok st might work out, or is it ok st being better than a lot of people can remember.

                                                        my first instinct this morning was texas rolls and wins this game by about 11 points........but then i started realizing there werent really good games today.....flyers is probably a trap too.

                                                        michael pittman for texas is a really good player and when probably go really high in the draft when he comes out.
                                                        His days in the NFL are long done. Dexter might not be half bad in the NBA though

                                                            Got off to a real shitty start, made it close at halftime though fortunately. Hopefully they can make a nice little run in the second half.

Granted, their coach is questionable, their talent is not. I had them at -1 and an absolute lock, especially when I saw Lang had Ok. State
