I’m expecting something similar to last year, minus maybe 10 points or so. Basically, a 3 or 4 point game, with the game in the 20s or low 30s.

Me too.

Forgot to address OSU…I’d agree that the CU game wasn’t the norm. But that OSU team is not good. Not at all. But you’re both right, because that line is really high. I guess maybe the Owen Field winning streak is carrying that torch.

On a related note, this game will represent the very rare occurrence that I root for OU. Just really don’t want OSU in the Fiesta Bowl. Our league has been embarrassed enough already this season.

Gene: To confuse you even more, I think both. I think what you saw from us the last two weeks is probably what you can expect Saturday.

We’ve re-discovered our offense a little bit, though there are plenty of exposable flaws. And our defense has tightened some and re-generated a bit of a pass rush. But we still have LBs that are a step slow and corners that don’t have a clue.

If you look at the body of work, the CU game seems like an aberration and that line looks ludicrous.

I think a 3 – 4 point line is about right for our game. KU is confusing to me. Those struggles against CU and KSU…are they the exception or the rule?

I noticed that too about our line. Seems the smart money is on the Hawks. Although it’s still at 4 (opened 4.5) at the Mirage.

Re: OSU – I think that’s what happens when you struggle, at home, with Colorado.

Of course, the Mizzou line is going in the opposite direction I predicted. Now the Tigers are just a 3 point favorite.

OU is a 9.5 point favorite in Bedlam. Seriously? Zac is even expected to start. The Cowboys get no respect.
