I actually got a little at +10 back then as I knew a loss to OU would bring the number down. I actually expected tech to be favored so I am a tad thrown y the line. But I just dont see tech losing at home at night on National TV in their biggest game of the year coming off a bye week againt a texas team that cnt throw the ball and hasnt stopped Tech's passing game the last 2 years. Texas will be able to run the ball, but they get very little pass rush and dont have enough secondary depth to deal with that many guys in the pattern. Plus this is a new dela for these defensive coordinators. Texas will put up some points, but Tech will put up alot.

absolutely love Texas tech in this match up. You hit it right on the head, don't look any further into guys, you gave all the right reasons.

I'm sure you know that this is their rivalry game of the year. Texas seems to have their rivalry cup full with OU and the agro-americans. They even get up more for the every other year match-up with the Hucksters Tech is the Rodney Daingerfield (sorry-from east Texas) of the big 12. The TT D is suspect, but that offense can be hotter than a nitro burning funny car. Texas has the D to hold them to 21. I just don't know if Texas scores 14 or 41. This game is a pass for me.

Golfstud,

Not sure where Sun got the game but he may have played it at Carib as they have had lines up on certain future plays since July. At one point you could of got Ohio State minus 4 against Michigan which would be a lead pipe solid lock at this point for Michigan. The lines on future games fluctuate quite dramatically week by week as teams improve or injuries occur.

I was looking at it the same way Tech's defense not as bad as some people think and with the Longhorns in ability to throw the ball. This is actually my top play of the week as a big advantage playing at night for the home team.

Trace Fields (he was 6-1 in the Stardust contest last weeks) likes TT,..the only game he lost in that contest was an over in a game that had both starting qb's get knocked out early,..I feel better that I got them at +3 -120(bought the half point) and the money line at +120
