Richkas · 11-16-08, 01:59 PM

on it, thanks

bigboydan · 11-16-08, 02:01 PM

I'll wait until everyone drives that line down to the ground before placing my OU wager.

Brock Landers · 11-16-08, 02:05 PM

Texas Tech's wins have ALL come at home, the big ones...

they are about to get a reality check at Oklahoma. Snag the sooners at -6 1/2

Dbldown11 · 11-16-08, 02:59 PM

I'm betting OU so ill wait for the line to drop....But I wouldnt take Tech at plus 7. I expect a pretty good beat down here by oklahoma

Was 7.5 last week, but that was at the -110 juice.

dwaechte · 11-16-08, 04:15 PM

It opened last night at -6, must have gotten bet up.

Wheell · 11-16-08, 04:19 PM

it is pretty obvious that Oklahoma > Texas > Texas Tech. The polls aren't "wrong" because the purpose of the polls is to reward performance on the field, not to merely suggest who is likely to win a head-to-head matchup. Think of it this way, if a two touchdown underdog pulled a neutral field upset, would we consider them the favorite in a rematch? Not likely.

daguru · 11-16-08, 05:37 PM

I am a Tech alumni, and have been hearing for the last month about the pending beat down. First Texas and then Ok State. Please explain the reasoning behind thinking Tech is going to get beat down. Not saying they will crush OU or even win, but do you think OU has faced anything like Tech's offence? Who has a better def.? OU is hurting on Def. Even a healthy OU D isn't going to STOP Tech on offense. OU is very impressive on offense as well and even more so if you take a look at how much they dial it down in the fourth quarter.
It would be too easy to say OU lost to Texas and Tech beat Texas. I also recall most of this board saying---Oklahoma State, money line...Tech can't hold them in check.. Not only did they hold them in check, they popped them in their chops.
At the end of the day it doesn't matter as everyone is going to be a sitting duck for Florida.

SBR_John · 11-16-08, 07:19 PM

daguru I think he meant the line would be bet down lower than 7, as in a lot of folks betting on Tech at +7.

I like the line and I could see it closing at 8 but my best guess would be 7.5. Tech is a great team but this is a road game and Tech is in very unfamiliar territory. It will likely get the best of them. So 7 seems like a very fair line.

durito · 11-16-08, 07:23 PM

6.5

sportsguy04 · 11-16-08, 08:40 PM

This game is going to be a redicolous high scoring game just like all of the big 12 games this season. Only I think this will be the highest scoring affair yet. Ill take OU in this and give the points at home.

I.R.B · 11-16-08, 08:44 PM

The line will drop.. I will take my chance with OU -points

because this game is on the road....and tech has struggled with some close wins against mediocre teams on the road.

I think a couple of things are in the Sooners favor here. 1st) Stoops is 60-2 in his 10 years at Owen Field. 2) Home teams tend to dominate in big-time night games. 3) The Sooners are bitter about losing in Lubbock last year b/c Bradford was knocked out of the game with a concussion tackling a DT. It also removed them from the national title chase. 4) Austin Box is playing much better at MLB since he replaced Ryan Reynolds in the Texas game. 5) OU is catching Tech in their 4th consecutive game against a ranked opponent. See Texas 1st half performance against Tech after a similar gauntlet.

OU big 52-35

sportsguy04 · 11-17-08, 12:16 AM

I think this is going to be the game that Tech loses this season. Tech loses and Florida gets their invitation into the National Championship.

james4512 · 11-17-08, 12:36 AM

if the u/o is 77 or less i will be hammering it. I think the points at +7 would be a sure win seeing how Oklahoma will not stop tech once the entire game and Oklahoma at home most likely wont get stopped either. Oklahoma wins 52-49

rm18 · 11-17-08, 12:46 AM

it is less, 73 is the number for now

45-30 OU final

I.R.B · 11-17-08, 07:01 AM

Its already moved to 6 - 5.5.. Out of 2,000 bets 88% of them are on Tech.. The OU backer like my self are loving this..

rm18 · 11-17-08, 07:04 AM

This is one of the biggest public underdogs I have ever seen.

I.R.B · 11-17-08, 07:12 AM

Everyone seen how good Tech is they seen Tech beat out Texas they seen Texas beat out OU, I see why the Public loves tech in this game.

slimjonesy · 11-17-08, 07:12 AM

Just because you went to college and spelled "offence" wrong. Im going to take OK.

daguru · 11-17-08, 09:59 AM

All good points and I certainly see a trend with regards to Tech games of late. Seems most people (same ones saying Oklahoma State would roll in Lubbock) think OU will win big. They are certainly good enough to roll anyone in the country. Couldn't handle Texas, but that's another issue.
I have been living overseas for the last few years and simply enjoy keeping up with Tech as its not common for them to be in the proverbial hunt.
Sooner Greg made some valid, well thought out points of view. I don't agree with his final score prediction, but will soon enough find out.
Perhaps I've been in England too long slimjonesy and my spelling is a bit off. You should think about changing your name to Dan Quayle as he too had issues with spelling. Spell Potatoe, Potato--wow!, they are both correct----Same Same with offence. Look it up! Tonight I am going to the Theatre to watch a film. Enough with my spelling dissertation.
Hope this game lives up to the hype.

fiveteamer · 11-17-08, 10:08 AM

They were lucky to beat Texas.

Lout84 · 11-17-08, 10:18 AM

OU at home.. Love their record at home with Stoops at the helm. The odds are in Oklahoma's favor. -6 at home is a gift. Texas Tech went in to Overtime with Nebraska in Lincoln.. they are not nearly as dominant on the road.

My question is, will a win over Texas Tech catipult Oklahoma over Texas in the BCS standings? If not, how about a win over Texas Tech then Oklahoma St in back to back weeks? I think we could be looking at a Florida vs. Oklahoma national championship.

fiveteamer · 11-17-08, 10:20 AM

They cant set the total high enough for this game. I never bet totals but I would bet the over I guess.

daguru · 11-17-08, 11:07 AM

I think Lout's point is of great interest. What happens if OU does indeed beat Tech? They should leapfrog Texas as Texas jumped over others after beating OU. Intersting situation and I'm sure the BCS bigwigs are rooting for Tech in order to avoid that happening.
Most of the points regarding the game have been spot on. However a few are iffy and other just plain wrong.
1st--Dbldown11 contends Tech will lose because, "because this game is on the road....and tech has struggled with some close wins against mediocre teams on the road." Tech's smallest margin of victory on the road is 16, so not sure where they struggled.
2nd---Lout---Tech and Nebraska played in Lubbock and yes they were lucky to come away with a win.

If OU wins they should jump Texas in the Polls. If they don't I will be here next Sunday defending Tech against---"Mizzou is going to roll them in the Big 12 Championship" posts.

Good luck everyone and I hope you bust your bookies.
GUNS UP!

fiveteamer · 11-17-08, 11:16 AM

Texas Tech needed OT to beat Nebraska.

krk1030 · 11-17-08, 11:33 AM

Oklahoma couldnt stop Kansas St.

I wont mess with a side, ill just take the over and collect my winnings by the end of the 3rd quarter. Both teams score at least 40 in this one.

fiveteamer · 11-17-08, 11:51 AM

btw, I do not see this game on http://www.sbrodds.com/

fiveteamer · 11-17-08, 11:51 AM

Sat 11/22 153 Texas Tech +6.5 -109 +200 OVER 74 -105
12:30 PM 154 Oklahoma -6.5 -101 -226 UNDER 74 -105

jjgold · 11-17-08, 12:05 PM

Line will close down to 5.5, if you got +7 you have a big edge on game.

pavyracer · 11-17-08, 12:19 PM

This game will end in a tie like Eagles - Bengals.
