Vegas has OU by 6.5

[Dan Thompson]

I don't go to Vegas if I can help it, I just don't like the place. However, I do read, or try to read the odds.

I think this has us by 6.5

Look at game 153

Seems right, could go down to 5, if the talk keeps coming.

[JLEW1818]

yep , that is starting. Remember you get 3 for being home team.

[StoopTroup]

110 points? and Wynn has it 71 1/2?

[StoopTroup]

The way the experts are talking...we should get 17 points.

[JLEW1818]

yep they all talk like tech is great... but then when people start to take bets they realize, Oklahoma is playing at home. and tech has not had a bad game yet. their due.

The over/under just seems a bit low......:confused:

[okienole3]

110 points? and Wynn has it 71 1/2?

That means you have to bet 110 to win 100. It is not the O/U.

This is the first game in a long time that OU seems to be overlooked by the good people at ESPN and elsewhere. I love it. We can't seem to get up for games that we're clearly favored in, so this is refreshing. We may not be Vegas underdogs, but the players are watching ESPN, not Vegas. I mean, you don't think Mad-Man Venables will use that to his advantage, do you?

OU -6.5

http://www.soonerfans.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2480191#post2480191

Last week.

[OUMedMan]

Too low.

Should be the Sooners by at least 17.

[Iam4OUru]

OK, if you didn't have a horse in this race, how would you bet OU -6.5? If I followed college football as close as I do and was not a Sooner fan......I just don't know if I could spot Leach a td. What's Owen Field worth? :D

[Curly Bill]

I might take -6.5, but that's about all I would take. Sounds about right to me.

Home field Is traditonaly 3 point edge , But in Norman I think Is a Tad Higher .

[JLEW1818]

Corso will pick OU. I think Herb will too .. That's good we are getting overlooked. So if we stomp them........BAM

[soonerbrat]

how could anyone hate vegas?

was there in september and put money on OU to win the nat'l champ game.

[olevetonahill]

I hope LC dont Pick us . Look what happened Last time .:O

[JLEW1818]

haha yep.. But I'm saying the experts will end up taking us. They will think it over all week. Not that it matters. but we are the better team, and we are playing at home.

[Iam4OUru]

I think yesterday was the first "head gear" pick Corso's hit all year. I know he and herbie put the curse on us in Big D.

[JLEW1818]

haha. he got the ut over Missouri right. and bama over lsu. but yah **** him, he's a nerd

[stoopified]

haha. he got the ut over Missouri right. and bama over lsu. but yah **** him, he's a toolFixed it for ya.

[JLEW1818]

haha true , he is pretty funny sometimes tho (in a sick way)

[instigator]

yep they all talk like tech is great... but then when people start to take bets they realize, Oklahoma is playing at home. and tech has not had a bad game yet. their due.

I think Nebraska could be considered a bad game for them.

[JLEW1818]

yah Techs D played horrible that game, maybe we should do what Nebraska did.
but ya your right they did play bad. Their due for a L tho.

[Iam4OUru]

Since OU is involved, I won't touch the point spread but I'm bettin' this sucker "OVER"! There is no way it goes under. Even if one team beats the other by 2-3 touchdowns...it still goes over.;)

[OU_Sooners75]

110 points? and Wynn has it 71 1/2?

the over/under is 71.5. The 110 you see is not points. it is the moneyline bet using no point spreads.

[Dan Thompson]

Please, give me a over/under 101 lesson, I have no idea what that means.

[JLEW1818]

Total Points scored by both teams.

Say an over/under is 50 1/2

If you think both teams together will score more then 50 1/2 points, you bet over, if not you bet under.

[JLEW1818]

I personally like taking the over. You get to cheer for both offenses. I took the under in last years Hawaii vs. Georgia game. I won, but it sucks cheering for both defenses.

[Iam4OUru]

I bet under a couple of years ago with the highest o/u I have ever seen....88. It was a WAC game I think. Anyway, I lost. Never again.
