Here is your weekly look at lines about which the Mizzou fan gives a damn.
MU -13.5 osu
ou -6.5 ut (in Dallas)
KU -14 cu
ksu -3.5 A&M
isu +3.5 BU
nu +20 TT
psu -4.5 WISC
vandy -1 MSU
USC -25 asu
UGA -13 tenn
tOSU -18 purdue
UF -4 lsu
ALA bye
BUFF -1 wmu
NEV -19 nmsu
ILL -11 minn
After the NU game, we were discussing the upcoming line on the Okie State game. I guessed it’d be 12. I thought I was guessing a little high. I was wrong.
Based on Euclid Pi’s BCS calcs, I included the lines of the top ten teams. Seems silly we even have to talk about Vandy, #10 in the BCS but only a one point favorite against Mississippi State for chrissakes, but there it is.
After the beatdown Mizzou put on NU, it’ll be interesting to see how NU comes out against Tech. If last year is any indication, that 20 points TT is giving should be 40.
Finally, a note on our non-conference opponents. Nevada had another decisive WAC win and Illinois beat up Michigan. Buffalo had the week off. This week the trio are all favorites.

I read that the MU/OSU line opened at MU – 9 and has moved to MU – 14 already. Zoinkers. It is weird that Vegas just keeps whiffing on us on opening lines.
