Seems about right, but it's the exact spread we opened against the Horns. OSU -35 vs Kansas. That's kind of high, IMO. Texas is a 3.5 favorite vs KSU. Texas is at home, I would have guessed it at 10 or so after the past few comparative games.

Other: Tulsa a 11 point dog against a visiting Memphis team. UCLA a 3 pt. dog vs California.

Sorry no link....If anybody wants it, let me know and I'll find it and post.

We better hope/pray for no rain delays...


I was on a Texas Tech message board site earlier today. Here are some of the comments from their poster\fans.

If OU doesn't hand it off to Perine every single time they are stupid.

Baker isn't that much, just rush him out of the pocket because he'll either throw an oskie or won't make anything happen.

My favorite: Striker, Striker, Striker.....

Of course, these are my words and may not be exact quotations.

I can guarantee you KK will do everything possible to blitz Mayfield.... If Mayfield outplays Mahomes and kicks Tech's *** how do you sell that to your fans? Mayfield will light Tech up

14.5 seems a bit high. I know it's in Norman, OU just pummelled KSU and Tech beat KU 30-20, but I'm thinking this one should have opened around 10. I'm pretty sure it will be down to 12 or 11.5 by Friday evening. I'd stay away from the 14.5 if I was a betting man.

This will be a pretty good test for OUs defense. TTech doesn't have an offense like Baylor, but this will be the most potent offense OU has faced all year. I think both teams will put up quite a few points, but OU shouldn't have a problem getting out with a win. OU having a far better defense will be the difference.
