Oklahoma backers, when you gettin' down?

[SBR Lou]

Can it really get much higher than +160ish for Oklahoma?

Then again, plenty backers both wise and otherwise are in love with Tebow and the speed of the Gators team.

[pinnacle212]

I got Florida. I think that Florida is putting to much emphasis on Tebow, Way too much. I think by design Florida is hyping this game to be a Tebow affair. I do know think Harvin is as hurt as everyone thinks. They will yell Tebow Tebow Tebow. They will blitz him and Percy will release and kill them all day. Percy Harvin is the most difficult player to defend on the team.

Its +165 OK here. Florida has a lot more backers. The Texas game did not help the line either. I wish Texas would have blew OSU out

Before the bowl season, I was thinkin' Oklahoma all the way.

Having seen how the Big 12 teams have struggled, I am beginning to waffle a bit. I'll probably end up taking Oklahoma but I'm gonna wait and see how tomorrow shakes out.

I think I'd feel better about it Friday morning regardless of the result even if I got blown out by 30 knowing that I took a team that is averaging 54 points per game offensively but that is only if I think this is going to be a shootout. My gut tells me that the underdog is the better play in shootout type games.

I just hope we dont have this happen. You dont here from OK backers all week and then after the game if they win. The yell OH HELL YEAH I KNOW OU WOULD WINL DAMN RIGHT. So speak now or do not say anything.

[bbyhill]

Oklahoma 1st half and game dont know when yet thats my play.Might put some on the o/u not sure

[EBone]

I guess the real question for me is this: "Will Oklahoma score in the mid 30's"? I think if the answer to that question is "Yes"....then I do not see how Oklahoma isn't the play. That's the question I gotta answer by tomorrow night.

I'm either playing Oklahoma and will probably chicken out and take the points instead of playing the moneyline or no play at all.

Oklahoma has depth so the running back situation not going to hurt like Florida backers might think,after watching the Alabama game dont think Florida is anything special,Stoops gets another one this year.

Good point you guys are deep at RB but i dont think you guys will trying to run. I may be wrong. You dont run up points like that running the ball.

The Florida Alabama game was close because it was an SEC rivalry. You guys as OU no about a rivalry. Was not the game with Texas an OU close? The Texas Tech/Texas game close?
I saw both games and it looked like a whole lot of scoring. Not a lot of D. If Texas DB catches the INT against TT your not there. Thats called Defense. You guys ran up the points and thats why your there thats cool. Percy Harvin played very little that game.

[bbyhill]

Texas rivalry big we should have won got some real bad calls in that game

[LT Profits]

If Oklahoma supporters don't get down at all, they will save a lot of money.

[LT Profits]

Forget about depth, Florida is the best team from what the bowl season has shown to be the far superior conference. Enough said!

[porkchop817]

OK +5, and OK +171 at 5dimes right now

[LT Profits]

Florida -4 -105 at Greek

I hate chalk, bit -185 ML may be as safe a bet as it gets.

[pinnacle212]

OK +5, and OK +171 at 5dimes right now

Its gotta move now a lot of people are backing Florida. I am glad its moving or i would be scared. The lines have been sitting at the same spot so they could get a lot of bets based on the fact its the last game.

because the teams on top of the Big 12 South have nothing to play for except Oklahoma.Glad you on Florida fading your picks have been good.All the SEC people my conference is the toughest well how many top 10 did the Big 12 have this year enough said.

[fiveteamer]

Already +170, I don't think the real money has even begun to come in on Florida yet, let the sheeple bet them into the ground, I'm taking the Sooners SU.

Then you are losing in CFB this year.

[pico]

if i am bettiing OU, i'll be waiting til 7:55pm. i think i might get +220

[LT Profits]

It has become obvious by now that the top Big 12 teams are frauds that padded their stats against weak competition. I don't even see how that is arguable given the way the conference had performed in bowls.

So the fact that the conference had so many ranked teams becomes irrelevant because the Big 12 is not as good as many people, admittedly including ME, thought it was.

I liked Florida before these bowls started anyway, but after watching both conferences play this bowl season, it has crossed over from "like" to "absolutey LOVE".

This is the exact reason to play Oklahoma. You and every other guy named Joe is thinking this way. Be a contrarian.

[SBR Lou]

LT knows how much respect I have for him, but he's drinking out of the Tebow koolaid right now. This game will come down to more than Tim Tebow.

[LT Profits]

Tebow won't win the game, the difference between the two DEFENSES will win this game.

Oklahoma aren't slouches defensively- they've just outscored people enough to where the D could pack it in many weeks, Bob Stoops is the Bill Belichick of collegiate ball.

Contrarian thinking works when two teams are fairly evenly matched yet the public is ovewhelmingly on one side.

This is an opposite case in that I don't think these two teams are as evenly matched as a lot of people think, I think that Florida is MUCH better, and I would need something like +7.5 (NOT going to happen) to even consider looking at Oklahoma.

I feel VERY good about locking in at -4 here. Yes I could have gotten -3 earlier, but after watching the bowl games so far, I think the increase in my confidence level in Florida exceeds the difference between -3 and -4.

[WileOut]

after watching the Alabama game dont think Florida is anything special,Stoops gets another one this year.

Florida got Alabama at their best. Utah got an unmotivated Alabama team without their best player.

The play here is Florida. Florida played a team exactly like Oklahoma at all levels in Georgia except GA probably has a better defense than Oklahoma. Georgia has a QB equally as good as Bradford and much better skill players than Oklahoma has. I've seen the experts split on which QB will go first in the draft, Bradford or Stafford.

Florida beat Georgia like 41 or 49-10. I don't think people realize just how much better Florida is than Oklahoma. Its like comparing apples to oranges. Oklahoma has a good offense, Florida's offense is great and amazing. Oklahoma has a horrible defense, Florida's defense is as good as their offense. Its going to be a rout.

[SBR Lou]

By the way, for those buying into the Tebow ESPN bits: give me Sam Bradford over Tim-I'm-a-system-QB-and-an-NFL-7th-rounder-Tebow-thanks-God any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

[LT Profits]

Oklahoma aren't slouches defensively- they've just outscored people enough to where the D could pack it in many weeks, Bob Stoops is the Bill Belichick of collegiate ball.

They won't outscore Florida though and the Oklahoma defense will get exposed early and often tonight.

And no matter how great Stoops is, no one can contain the Florida offense for an entire game. Alabama has a better defense than Oklahoma, and after looking good for a halff, Florida finally solved them in the second half. They will solve this Oklahoma season much sooner just on superior talent alone.

I actually agree with this.

But like I said, Tebow is not the reason Florida will win rather handily.

[WileOut]

Tebow will go to the NFL and have a great career. He is every bit as good as Bradford throwing the ball. The difference between the 2 QB's is that Tebow is also a running back. Tebow could line up in the spread in the Big12 and his stats would have been every bit as good as Bradfords. And Florida would have gone undefeated in the Big12.

Florida doesn't have to throw every down like Oklahoma does, they run the ball and your defense is exhausted by the 2nd quarter. Florida can run the ball on any team in the country.

Wow. Why isn't Florida -10.5 ?

Good question, variance?

I am saying the line is wrong.

[fiveteamer]

Please, there are no wrong lines.

Especially in games like this.

Linesmakers know more than you.

If you like Florida, fine.

[seaborneq]

looks like the majority like Florida, what about the o/u 70? In big games I like the under and have only been burned by the number once. VY two late td's against usc.

[SBR Lou]

looks like the majority like Florida,

No surprise there. The media has a big hand in public perception, even if people won't admit it Tebow is held on a pedestal among many Florida backers: and the guy simply isn't anywhere near as good of a quarterback as Sam Bradford, and that could easily be the difference in this game.
