337 Texas
338 Texas Tech -241/2


I hope TT beats them by this much but really?I was thinking TT was worse then texas...yes TT is at home...

[Boomer.....]

Wow, that is shocking! I would have guessed Texas would have had a slight edge or at least close to a pick em.

[KantoSooner]

Texas would be the bet there.

Whorn remaining schedule: Tech, WVU, OSU, TCU
Turk remaining schedule: Texas, OU, ISU, Baylor

Both are 3-5 and likely out of bowl contention. In other words, neither has much to lose... what crazy, oddball stuff do you expect to see? Punting never? Onside kicking every kickoff? The wishbone? The ninja formation? The cover zero (cover nobody) defense?

[EatLeadCommie]

Take Texas on this one. They can play D and their O will score against Tech.

I keep trying to take them, but dammit the bettor keeps flagging me for false starting. :mack:

On the face of it this seems absurd. TT squeaked by Central Arkansas, was pasted last week, can't stop the run and just generally stinks on defense. Usually when I see this kind of line I suspect somebody knows something that the general public doesn't.

Baker Mayfield was actually on Tech scholarship and just wanted to be a Sooner instead really, really badly?

[TheUnnamedSooner]

my guy isn't even showing this game at all on his site.... otherwise I'd be all over it.

Folks must be over-reacting to the goose egg that KSU handed the horns. The KSU and TTech defenses are so different, they don't appear to be playing the same game.

Exactly.

Last week, I really thought Texas could cover the 9.5 point spread over KSU. The Longhorn defense didn't play bad, but their offense went back to being anemic. A team simply can't ask the defense to stay on the field as long as they did, without any offensive help, and expect to win.

Tech is a dumpster fire, but really only on defense. On defense, Tech is absolute garbage, but the question is; can Texas do anything to put points on the board?

I agree, when I see such an odd spread, I think someone knows something the rest of us outsiders don't know.

[BoulderSooner79]

The horns carved out 500 yards on us. Granted, they are poor at turning that into points, but if they just get into the 20's they'll cover this spread (if this spread is for real). I wouldn't even be surprised if they win.

All right beyonces. get your vBetting on (http://www.soonerfans.com/forums/showthread.php?184882-The-non-OU-Big-12-games&p=4879365#post4879365), including the 24.5 point spread for turk/whorn

[tycat947]

Isn't Davis, the TT QB, out too with injury? This just doesn't make sense. I'm not sure TT could beat the whorns by 24 1/2 if the whorns didn't show up!

They've always had a strong running game, haven't they?

No I didn't type that with a straight face :P

Based only on what I saw during the game, I don't think Webb will play. However, the freshman (Mahomes) looked pretty damn good and we know that Kliff isn't loyal to any QB, and there's no such thing as "you won't lose your job because of injury" in his world. Still, Mahomes may be great, but a freshman against a pretty good defense...something's still off about that spread.

[JLEW1818]

That's not an accurate spread

[Eielson]

Even KSU didn't cover that ridiculous spread. I'd bet Tech doesn't even score 25 against Texas.

[sendbaht]

I was thinking the same thing...it's a crazy spread.....but if a mistake it's been up there a long time...very strange....

http://www.vegasinsider.com/college-...dds/las-vegas/ this one does...but maybe they got confused with texas TCU,,not sure, but this for sure can not be real...

[TheUnnamedSooner]

From what I heard this was a typo. Was never available in any casino and the game isn't available until they decide if Webb is playing or not (not seeing what difference that makes).

[8timechamps]

Just saw this line:

Texas -15.5
Texas Tech

That still seems a little odd, but not as crazy. I think they got the right team this time, but I'm not sure Texas wins by 16.

[sendbaht]

this makes much more sense...Texas favored by 15.5 points. thanks for posting 8times....

[Jacie]

What a split that would have been, take sa*et and the 24, take TT and get 15, hit em both and retire.

[Pride1Mom]

Just shows that the media and the so-called pros don't know what they are talking about. I have watched mediocre SEC teams be touted as great. I don't think that Kingsbury knows how to coach. He is too wrapped up in his appearance on TV. He has no idea about defense, and Tech is the most crooked program in the Big XII, except for Texas that is......
