Prior to the Houston game, the Sooners were almost 10 pt favorites over Ohio State ... now everyone is picking the Buckeyes by the same spread ... high time to right the ship Bob Stoops and Sooners ... OU 34 - TOSU 27

I've not looked at the spread in several days. The last time I saw it was tOSU favored by 2 or 3. For it to move that much means that some information has gotten out. That is only conjecture. Here is the truth in terms of win or lose; Las Vegas is usually right.
When the spread is that close it's anybody's game. Normally the team that "shows up" wins.
From the three-year-old link:
26.39% of the time a team was favored by 7.5 to 10 points they lost outright and that translates into 1 upset every 3.8 games.

Yep, the Vegas boys amaze sometimes.
Last week they had OU besting Monroe by 42.
Like a by gawd that's exactly what we beat them by.

The week before they had OU favored. So I guess so far this year they are batting .500 on OU games.
That's a pretty crazy stat...and that last time we were the dogs we won 31-14.
