Baylor Favored!!???

[Cinco Ranch Cougar]

Vegas has Baylor favored. No line yet, but a favorite.
Are you f_ _ _ _ ing kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SoonerStud615]

Why shouldn't they be?

[soonermix]

good maybe we will play with a chip on our shoulder with something to prove and actually play a decent game on the road.

[limey_sooner]

The 2 UK bookies that have odds up have OU favoured by 7, and they generally mirror vegas when it comes to college football.

[KantoSooner]

There's no reason they shouldn't be. They've had a great year and we've sucked wind on the road.

[...sooner]

i still feel the anger with it tho. BAYLOR! ugh.

[badger]

Why are you all so angry? Ca-ching!!!! Easy money headed Sooner fans ways!

[tkolax]

We are favored by 7 or 7.5

OU favored by 7

[OUthunder]

They should be. Have you seen us play on the road the last two seasons? I think that OU will win the game in style, but I wouldn't bet more than $10 on em.

[Cinco Ranch Cougar]

I stand correctal!!!!!

[schoonerdriver]

How is someone favored with no line?

[jumperstop]

How many times does this have to be brought up? What Vegas thinks has nothing to do with who they will think win the game, it's all about how think the general public will bet.

[mgsooner]

This thread not very good, okay?

[oudavid1]

The game is not in Norman, but i think we will win.

[SoonersEnFuego]

5 Stars!!!

[soonercastor]

yeah OU -7. but who cares :P

[1890MilesToNorman]

You didn't get the memo? Baylor is now in Austin.

[homerSimpsonsBrain]

You didn't get the memo? Baylor is now in Austin.

Cool! Being based in Austin hasnt seemed to have been much of an advantage this season.

[stoopified]

Half the crowd will be wearing crimson,so it won't be a true road game.There have been many seasons when 60% of the crowd(or more) in Waco were Sooners BUT withis being a good Bear team I figure 50-50.

[fwsooner22]

Betcha its still 60%, Im bringing my carload.

I doubt if it's 50-50.
With the way OU plays on the road, Baylor will think they actually have a shot this year. They have a decent team and it's at night, which usually draws more fans.

This isn't the typical ho-hum, middle-of-the-afternoon game against a Baylor team that's hoping to at least not get beat by 50 in front of their parents.

[SoonerMarkVA]

This has less to do with Baylor, and more to do with OU on the road.

I never bet OU, but if I did I'd have to seriously consider taking BU. And after watching OSU's offense last week, I'm more optimistic about the Bears than I am Boone St.

If OU could just come out and play like they're capable, we'd win 'em both. So far, they haven't shown much propensity to do that outside of Norman.

Ou by 9.. OU is to much for Baylor: Don't use game comparisons. Example: Baylor beats Texaz, Everyone beats Texas!! Get it?

[SouthCarolinaSooner]

Remember a couple years ago we had a -51 line or so on them :D

[VA Sooner]

7 sounds about right.

Before the game.

After the game... -24 for OU with our linebackers back and Casey Walker finally back at the line. Could use Noble... but getting his back for OSU and subsequent Big 12 CCG would be more important.

[oumartin]

OU is awful on the road. I'd favor Baylor. Heck I'd favor Jenks if OU had to travel to play them.

[Leroy Lizard]

Everyone beats Texas!!

That has a nice ring to it.

[Sooner_Tuf]

Beginning to wonder about you. :eek:

Vegas had us favored when we lost. Shows you how smart they are.

I agree with oumartin.

[Landthief 1972]

Floyd Casey Stadium has a capacity of 50k. It's decent odds that 20-25k of that capacity will be wearing Crimson. My opinion is that we play bad on the road because of crowd noise - the young players get rattled. If Baylor was coming in with a win over A&M, they might have been more fired up and get more green and gold in the seats. It's probably Senior Day, but that never helped them before, even when Boo was our coach. If Landry can connect on some passes early and quiet the crowd, I think we'll do alright.

hey clueless, i didn't say OU wouldn't win the game. I said they shouldn't be favored. They suck on the road most times.

[OUmillenium]

They should be. Have you seen us play on the road the last two seasons? I think that OU will win the game in style, but I wouldn't bet more than $10 on em.

yep
