Big 12 October 18

[Sun Tzu]

Baylor (3)

Texas (2)


Note: Texas hasnt lost week after OU during Mack Brown's tenure. I believe they have also covered all but two of those. For whatever reason getting past OU game has always been a plus rather than a letdown. Was ready to play this one bigger until yesterday's Mizzou loss.

Mizzou's loss should be a major bonus and it is the only reason I love Texas this week.

I wouldn't let that bother ya. We put no pressure on their quarterback yesterday, so I can't see them getting by the Longhorn O'line. The red zone play calling is beyond pathetic and our defense finally got exposed like I knew we would. If Colt plays like he did yesterday, he will have no problem toasting our D'backs.

The only reason not to play this game is if you subscribe to the "double bounce" theory of handicapping. Beyond that and based on last nights performance, I see an ass kicking in the making. We never do well against fast and athletic defenses and Pinkle has no idea how to adjust during the course of a game.

Personally like buying Missouri to +7.

I believe MU was looking ahead to this game and they'll come ready to play. I thought the number would be 3.5 to 4.5 and was shocked to see 6.5. MU should bounce back and bring their "A" game.

before the season most of the experts said that the okla's pass defense will be a big question mark...& texas showed why...

 

[Destructor D]

Took Missouri +7 for 6* early this morning. Not sure how you think Texas will have anyting left in the tank after last week. On the other hand, I expect a HUGE effort from Missouri as they try to save their season. Line has gone down to 6 tonight. Wouldn't be shocked to see 4.5 by gametime.

Agree with Baylor... same scenario as Texas where Okie State coming off a huge win and facing a QB in Griffin who is going to be something special. If Baylor avoids turnovers, they should hang with Okie State until the final minutes. I also believe Okie State might have a letdown after their monster upset last weekend.

 

[prento]

Waiting for the total in tha Okie St game, should be an easy over IMO.

 

[Sun Tzu]

Add .5 to Baylor

Add .5 to Baylor

Baylor is, and will remain, my largest pay of the season. GL

Not to mention Okie St has Texas next week

 

[Destructor D]

Baylor looks very solid.

My only fear is turnovers. When Baylor has been crushed by Wake Forest and OU... they're defense has been manhandled and their offense made mistakes.

Glad I took MU +7... line down to 5 now.

Kansas Jayhawks (2)
Texas Tech/AM Over (2)

 

[The Judge]

Can Tech and Texas both remain undefeated until November 1st? I think so and if so, they will probably be forced to legalize liquor by the drink in Lubbock.

Good luck this week, Sun.

 

[Sun Tzu]

Not sure how folks can live in Lubbock.

Have heard that Texas has had a fabulous week of practice - Mack claims the best of his entire tenure.

 

[sooners25]

The only thing that scares me about Mizzou/TX game is the spread. It is a TRAP! Just like the TCU game on Thurs. The public is on TX and line is going against them. This is a no play for me but I would be on Mizzou if played. Love the Baylor pick!

Good luck!

 

[LonghornMM]

Has everyone forgotten about what Texas Tech does to A&M every year? This will be yet another beat down by the Red Raiders. Tech -21 will be a large play for me!

 

[Sun Tzu]

Back from Austin. Total annihilation there in the first half.

Baylor sucked ass but still 3-1 for the day.

A biggie coming tomorrow for next week...
