y'all will be glad to know i'm not on tilt tonight. got back a good chunk of the money i missed out on yesterday in that dead heat.
this game boils down to one simple question. is this a "big game" to the sooners? although that question may not be all that simple to answer. i mean, it's the cotton bowl. a lot of tradition there. but it's not a bcs bowl game. if it is a big game to ok, then a&m is a no brainer. most of us have learned by now that stoops SUCKS in big games. i'm going with the theory that it's not a BIG game for them. ok has won 3 straight bowl games, covering the last 2. they covered against iowa last year in the insight bowl, when iowa had a very good record in bowl games. they blew out uconn 2 years ago. that was a bcs game, but uconn clearly didn't belong on the field with ok. and they beat stanford but didn't cover on new years eve the year before.
so if it's not a BIG game, the sooners should look like one of the best teams in the country and win this game. and i really hope they do, because that may overvalue nd just a little more for monday night.
the line drop is also telling. because it ain't "the public" hammering oklahoma down to 3.
oklahoma (+3) 3 units. if i was 100% convinced this isn't a BIG game for the sooners, this would be 5 units. but the stoops factor.... it could always rear its ugly head.
