Big Twelve Saturday Thoughts

[Jaycadd]

Just looked at the lines and a couple of them really jump out.


TTech -13- over TA&M....In the papers today, big writeup about the parents of the two players suspended from TT calling in to the local TV station and raising hell. Valdez a no show for practice Wednesday. A team in turmoil will either come out strong or fall apart. Too much turmoil for me, A&M + points...


Baylor -9- over Nebraska.... Baylor is FIRED UP, all that they are talking about on the news here. I see a third straight cover for the Bears....

OSU pk over Texas....Looks like to me that OSU just might be losing another home game. The pokes have traditionally slumped towards the end of the season, and are doing it again. Texas will manhandle them the way they are playing. No confidence for OSU at home now.

I see the line moving to Texas giving up points (2)and the Baylor line going up (11) with the A&M line dropping to around 8-9.

Should be interesting to see in the morning.

Those look good to me too. You're right about the T.Tech turmoil, and even without it, A&M is not the same Ole Aggies of years past, they're playing some pretty good ball, for them. Texas looks like a huge one to me as well, I'm just afraid it's going to be a big public play, and it's hard to make a public play a biggun. Tomorrow looks good though. You getting all this rain Jay? We're getting pummeled over here in the Deep East Texas river bottom.

Valdez practiced today and is probably for the game tomorrow. On the UT game, you have OSU over UT, but your writeup favors Texas?????? I think Texas wins by 6. No offense for the Cowboys, even at home.

I had Texas and Baylor circled before the lines came out. I also had Colorado circled, came up with my own line at -8. What do you think about the Buffs -6'?

This might also fit home unranked favored over ranked. If the Tigers are still ranked?

 

[mansa_musa]

I just read spang's post and see Colorado -5. Any thoughts on this matchup would be appreciated.

I think the Buffs win big!

Look hard at CU. -5 now and public may jump on Mizzou.
revenge home game and the buffs (I hate to say it, are good)
I see a DD CU win. thoughts:shrug:

 

[LoneWolf]

Colorado is definitely playing with alot of confidence @ HOME right now, they've knocked off 2 of the top 3 teams in the Big 12 at home this year, and Mizzou can't hold a candle to either Kansas or Texas. On the other hand Mizzou also plays with alot of confidence when playing the Buffs, they are 9-1 their last 10 SU, and 7-2 ATS the last 9. However like the Aggies, Col is not your Daddy's Buffs anymore, they're much improved, and tomorrow should hold an edge in both rebounding & FT's.

mr.wizard:

per espn, valdez not only didnt practice since his suspension, but has since quit the team. assuming their report is correct, just wanted to clear that up. not saying espn is the gospel, because the are guilty of very poor journalism/reporting quite often, but it looks like valdez is done

 

[mr. wizard]

Your right gman. According to The Dallas Morning News this morning, Valdez would not adhere to a set of stipulations by Coach Knight and has left the team. He says he left for teh sake of the team. Good luck with all that. I still see Tech coming out and putting a nice game together for the home team. They still have a shot at the NIT.

Wizard,

Definitely like Texas!!

My guy at Stillwater has allready thrown in the towel.

On Colorado, they do play very well at home but Missouri is trying to get that last buy with a loss to OSU. Mizzou and CU usually do play close. I would lean towards Colorado, but do not have a good feel. Better games out there!
