KAN$A$ +2 to the BANK

[Dr. Fade]

I was very happy to see that the oddsmakers made KU the underdog. KU generally performs better in the role of the dog. A&M has NOT played a road game since @ OU on 11/12/2005.

In other words, this will be QB Stephen McGee's first start on the road. Franchione is not a good coach. It is Homecoming for Kansas and I think they are the better team so......


KANSAS +2

P.S.

QB Meier has been cleared medically to play. Mangino is not saying who will start- game time decision. I don't think it matters a whole lot- I would prefer Meier though.

I wont call it "bank" but believe it is the right side. AM is one of the worst road teams in America the last 3-4 years. And losing to Tech is a crushing blow to their season. KU has a decent run defense and no pass defense...but AM cant throw the ball. And as we saw when they finaly faced a decent team...their pass defense is non-existent...

As a Texas fan I wouldnt mind an AM win ....they lose this game for sure fran gets canned and I want him to stick around.

I love Kansas as well... I believe they have won 8 consecutive home game in Lawrence (last loss was the BS Texas victory in 2004). Kansas also matches up very well with A&M. Great call Dr. Fade!

 

[Jayhawk_Thor]

DEFINATELY the right side.

Good luck man.

It hurts me to say it but I think KU is the right side as well. This is actually McGee's 2nd road start bc he did start that game agasint OU last year. It won't matter, hes got a concussion and a hurt shoulder and the coaches have no confidence in him. KU should win this by 10+

Looks like I'm the lone one on A&M in here....These teams are pretty evenly matched and this should be a close game, but if Kansas has won 8 straight at home and A&M has been so horrible on the road with this being the first road test of the season I ask.....why did Vegas set them as favorites here? If A&M were dogs...different story, but I see KU being a "trap" getting points at home with an 8 game home win streak on the line vs. a so called no good road team with an inexperienced QB. They could of easily put KU small favorites here....The ONLY thing that makes me not consider this a bigger play is the fact that A&M is coming off 5 straight home games and this being the first road game of the season, but still like it! Aggies by 7 in a close game! GL!

Also throw in that KU is coming off a tough OT loss to Nebraska....possible letdown for them.

good point RS

I have been liking KU myself this week but I have yet to play them. The thing, in addition to what you have said, that makes me nervous about the Jayhawks is that they gave Nebraska a dogfight last week.

The public may be under the perception that KU should easily handle A & M this week while playing at home AND getting a few points but they could be due for a letdown.

The betting % don't reflect that as 64% are hitting on the Aggies. Just a thought that pops into my head, thats all.

KU racked up 574 total yards of offense last week against Nebraska and were -5 in turnovers and it took OT to for the Huskers to beat them. Impressive.

I think the public perception will be that nebraska is not as good as they thought not ku being better. Ku starting to play well and were getting points on homecoming, i like the play and think ku wins by double digets

 

[RIGHT SIDE]

Deleted.....

 

[blgstocks]

Though I always respect you rightside, KU lost that game for themselves and A&M deserved to lose. If KU wasnt the biggest pile of sh!t in D1 they would have covered easily

 

[Jayhawk_Thor]

Agree with you BLG.

I do respect you RS... but not classy at all to go into someones thread, when they have just taken a bad beat where you were on the "right side" of a gift, and act like you capped this one correctly.

If you put that in there as a tongue-in-cheek joke or something, thats different of course.

 

[RIGHT SIDE]

Oh geeeez.....Of course I was kidd'n around. I'm sure Dr.Fade knows that.....I'm not like that at all. Hey...I liked Northwestern today and plenty liked Wisconsin and I lost that game. We win some...we lose some. I admit...I got "very" lucky with A&M today..no doubt. I guess I shoulda used a different smiley face or something or maybe shouldn't have even posted anything. My bad...I was just pumped at the time!

Fair enough... I think I know you well enough to know that... Thats why I added what I did at the bottom of the post...

Nice win.

Well boys, that game blew. KU had the lead the whole game until 34 seconds remaining. This KU team has a knack of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Oh well, back to the drawing board. :shrug:
