Oklahoma vs SMU tonight ????

[kdmfox]

This line does seem a bit short at first look although both teams have similar numbers.

Oklahoma averages 71.5 for and 62 against
SMU averages 71.5 for and 63.5 against

Oklahoma outrebounds their opponents an average 12.8

This game is at SMU so it may be a close contest.

I'd take the 8 points here on similar figs and home court.


A game that does look very short is Oklahoma St. (9-4) -6 at Pepperdine. (4-7)

Oklahoma St. averages 77.2 for and 64.9 against +12.3
Pepperdine averages 64.5 and 70.8 against -6.3

Oklahoma St. has played a much tougher schedule and should roll right over Pepperdine by 20.

Lay the 6 points and take the late night bailout if you need one.

Did I say by 20???? ... Okla. St. wins it 69-49 ... tee hee.

Margins added up in both these games.

i agree with you, this line seems very short. so, i can see where you comming from here on this game.

i might have to look a bit closer into this game now that you brought it to my attention.

This line surprises me quite a bit. Why are the 12th ranked Sooners only 8 point favorites against a 7-4 SMU team (that lost to LA Monroe)?

When I see lines that surprise me this much, I often bet on the underdog. Anybody have any thoughts on this game?
