Not sure why this much love for OU. Their D will keep anyone in the game. I get they have 1 loss and we have 3, but all our games have been close. 6 pts is a lot in this game.
Maybe I should put $100 on OU to cover. Maybe my reverse psychology that I used on my pick'em picks will work. I know Texas can still cover and lose but I don't think we lose by 3 to 6. If we lose this game it will be by 17+ points. OU is going to try and beat us down to prove that they belong in the playoffs.
Six is a lot but it also accounts for the repeated failures of Texas defense to stop any high powered offenses with regularity AND the fact that we have a QB with a wounded wing. Had Sam been rested last week, I suspect we see an opening line of +3.5-4 points instead of 5.5 to 6.
As many points that are expected to be scored, 6 points isnt a lot. We better score 40 if we want a chance to win
OU should be favored in this game. They went 11-1. Texas went 9-3 with two really bad losses. Texas gets a punchers chance to win a championship. I'll take it.
I'd take the horns and the points. Bookie & Co can keep you in the game. I dread seeing those big WR's in the slot.
I personally am not feeling so great about this game with how many we have hobbling around. TH has figured out a way to keep every game close so I really shouldn't expect anything different in this one.
Disappointing losses. Yes. Heartbreaking losses. Yes. But a 9-3 record with a total point differential of 9 may not qualify as bad losses. After all, Maryland (the first game of the season for us, and a road game) took the mighty tOSU to the brink, and should have converted that 2 point play that cost them the win. Okie Light beat us, barely, and they beat WVU, and WVU beat us on a 2 point conversion. So, if there is such a thing as a good 9-3 record, we might have it. But like everyone else, I’m nervous about Saturday.
