A&m v. Ok. St.

[Ca$hfloW]

What's the play here I like the over and ATM +3.5 because of the good running backs and the terrible running d of ok st. And I heard ATM is going to concentrate on the run, the over is pretty high though.

Opinions?

[TPowell]

Oklahoma State by at least a touchdown. They are the better team for sure IMO.

[Team Ramrod]

I wouldnt do either O/U. I kinda like A&M +3.5. Dana's offense will get it shoved back up their ass here imo. Big game for OSU though. If they pull this out, it will give them hellua confindence for Big 12 games.

[JerseyLove]

No play on this one for me!

[Maxmillion]

Tricky one here, OSU D ranking is pretty low, like 80th or something like that but the offense has been great. But A&M has not played anyone yet so who knows. If you twist my arm I go with OSU, small play for me

[matthewsg]

OSU has a great offense and a bad defense. A&M has a great QB, who is good with both his arm and feet. The jury is still out on it's D. Would definitely lean to the Over here.

[freeVICK]

ok st looks easy... maybe too easy?

[Ca$hfloW]

68 seems too high to me anyone else seem this way?

[Mirrapro]

Yes it seems pretty high...especially if you guys are talking about a good run game. i might tease it up another 6 points and take the under to be more confident.

[Saluki09]

Ok State has the much better team. With home advantage im def taking Ok State, they should win by at least a touchdown

[Ca$hfloW]

I would be careful and tread lightly I like the under though

[Biff Webster]

What most people dont realize is that the OSU D is not as bad as stats suggest. They did have a tough time with Troy, but the offense didnt really help them a whole lot with 5 turnovers. In the Washington St. game OSU led 51-10 when all starters on both sides of the ball were pulled. Against Tulsa, OSU led 51-7 when all the starters were pulled.

[khaden]

I like ok st I have them and Iowa in a big teaser ok st+3 Iowa-1

[the12thman]

I like A&M on the ML and the Under

Last year, a&m's DC Deruyter was the DC at Airforce and Okst's OC Holgerson was at Houston. They met in the bowl game where Air force demolished Houston 47-20 and intercepted Case Keenum 6 times.

This year and last year, a&m has opened the year with 3 patsies on their schedule, each year equally as bad in terms of competition, the started each season 3-0, however, last year at this point, the Defense was ranked around #85 and this year they are ranked #10. The defense is a huge upgrade with one of the best defensive players in the nation in von miller for a&m

The ags will also have 2 backs that can run the ball, and should be able to control the clock.

I see a 28-24 type game with a&m prevailing. And for those saying that OSU takes their starters out after halftime, then that means they may not be in full game conditioning and ready for this a&m offense and defense.

Texas A&M is a very bad road team, I like OSU -3.5

[the12thman]

Texas A&M is a very bad road team, I like OSU -3.5

yet they have only played at home this year???

won at tech by 22 points last year

last year, they were a very inconsistent team, still to be determined for this year

[og4667]

I like Okst at home on thursday night.

• one stat I really don't like is OkSt. Poor performance vs teams that have good rushing defenses. They are 3-17 SU vs good rushing defenses that allow less than 3.25 yards/cary. YIKES!!!!! When you look a little close you see that Texas AM hasn't really played any good teams except for FIU who they almost lost to as 29 pt favs.
• The oddsmakers have seemed to undervalue OkSt. so far this season based on the amount of new players on the roster but they have still performed well. Texas AM returns more players and had more hype coming into the season so thats probably the reason for the low line.

So can we assume by your avatar that you are an Aggie homer? Not that you don't make some valid points.

hmmm good point that would explain all the yards given up

[the12thman]

yes, I'm an aggie homer. I think the smart play is on the Ags moneyline at +140

also maybe placing a bet on OSU to win by over 14 points would not be a bad idea due to our ability last year to have games snowball out of control and into blowouts.

We have a senior QB who is coming off one of his worst games, and in which he led the team to 3 4th quarter TDs to get the win. However, I think the safest play you can make is the Under at 68 points in you can get it. Aggie field goal kicker is very inconsistent as well

[khaden]

That stadium will be insane for a national Thurs night ESPN game. As someone pointed out this will be the first road game for TXAM tough place to open conference play.

[WildcatNation]

like OSU all the way and like the under.

[PickCityz]

I think OSU takes it. Jerrod Johnson threw 4 picks?

[AlphaOmega]

OSU + the OVER

[DblDeuce]

Like the Over

[DblDeuce]

Can't decide on the side

[xYoungGodx]

Yes it seems pretty high...especially if you guys are talking about a good run game. i might tease it up another 6 points and take the under to be more confident.

My thoughts excatly and take osu as well

[BigSmooth]

I just put down a unit on Okie St. Hopefully I'm right.

[Dirty Sanchez]

Stillwater will be a madhouse, and OSU will definitely want to make an impression being Nationally televised. I'm just not a big fan of the A&M coaching staff and their road showings

[MMAchicka]

I am for OK all the way but I'm not laying any money on it.

[JosephPavs]

<---- Typical Aggie... At least you didn't shoot anybody in the library today.... Anyway TAMU does have the more mature team the D still sucks really bad but the O can be powerful given the chance... This team likes to play up to its opponent. I am going to have to put my money on them covering this week (by cover I mean I am going to do a 10 point teaser) and losing by 2 TD to Ark next week.

The only thing I like is that they are a more mature team and neither team has been on TV this year that I know of and that usually draws mistakes unless you play for ND


10-4 out

[A.M.S.]

leanin toward ok st.

especially at home

[Vince Lombardi]

Oklahoma State by at least a touchdown. They are the better team for sure IMO.

OK State for sure. A&M hasn't beaten anybody and on the road you're gonna need more than 3 points against most in the Big 12.

[TrapperDapper]

Ok State. Hunter will be the best back in this game. A&M has no one on defense besides Von Miller.

[matthewsg]

Guys be careful with the Over play. Both teams idle last week, so they have had plenty of time to gameplan and scheme. Game should still reach mid-50's or more, but the intensity of the game should keep this one under the total. Either way, I'm sitting this one out after looking forward to playing the Over earlier.
