I couldnt believe my eyes this morning when Texas opened up at -3 vs OU. Thats INSANE! The Vegas odds makers dont know what the hell they are doing.
OU is 2-2, borderline unranked, failing both major tests they've had this year. They've played Idaho St, Tulsa, and Baylor for their wins.
Texas hasnt played anybody either, but they did put up a 10 spot on Texas Tech, so that counts for something. Yeah, their offense didnt look good vs Colorado, but the random fans out there are putting too much stock into 1 game.
When Miami got blown out at Va Tech, everybody started betting money on OU the next week. Of course, that was absolutely stupid. You dont bet based on one game. You bet based on matchups and trends. Both of these favor Texas by a heavy margin.
Texas is going to use Dan Buckner or Jordan Shipley in the slot and they are going to go ape shit on OU's linebackers. They cant cover jack shit over the middle.
Conversely, Texas DL is going to absolutely manhandle OU's OL. OU's OL is the worst OL in the entire conference. They are a shambles, and they just lost another starter for the next game, Brian Simmons.
Texas -3 is easy, easy money. If you arent sure, just buy some points and bet at Texas -0.5 I dont know what the final score is going to be, but I will be putting down at least $5,000 that Texas will beat OU. I give OU less than a 10% chance to beat Texas.
