Can't find the line anywhere just yet. I'm guessing OU will be favorites by 7.5 points or so maybe less. Historically game as always been close. I cannot wait for this game. I've ridden OU all year and they've cashed :money8: for me going 4 & 0 against the spread. So have the Texas backers this year, Longhorns a perfect 5 & 0 against the spread as well. Who's going give in, who will win this game???

This is definitely the game of the year, and this will likely decide one of the teams in the National Championship game. I'd have to see a line before making a pick. Going to be a great game though.

Anything under double digits here for Oklahoma would be a joke. This game will not be a contest.

You're really undervaluing Texas here. McCoy might be a top 3 or 5 QB and their defense seems strong. OU will be a huge test, but Texas can not only hang here, they can win.

Believe me, I am not undervaluing them. They are a fraud & McCoy is not a top 3-5 QB in the country by any stretch of the imagination.

used to be a good dog play but since stoops/brown rivarly there have been severe blowouts in this game. many many times thruout the season these so called "big" games are blowouts and spread has no factor. imo oklahoma is the stronger team.

Bookmaker just came out with cfl lines. They've got OU at -7. I anticipate that the line will go up.

as one of the biggest sooner fans suprised to see you say that, horns looked very impressive to me yesterday. new d-coordinator has already made an impact imo, and colt looks even better than he did his freshman year. i know tight games have not been the norm lately in this series, but i expect one saturday, can't wait.

Nobody on this board hates the Horns more than I do, but I think this Texas team is very underrated.

They play very good defense and while OU did destroy TCU, they didn't put drives together, they hit a few homeruns. I think against Texas that athlete advantage disappears and Sam Bradford sees some real pressure.

Couple years back when OU won by 7, they were supposed to have team that was a world beater and the game was extremely tight. I think the same thing happens here.

Noon game? Are you serious? Fuck, I'm probably going to have to miss it. Why the hell would OU/Texas not be the night game?

I see LSU/UF and PSU/Wisconsin are the two night games. OU and Texas are probably better than all four of those teams.

I think the Sooners win, but ideally we need Texas to win because OU has a pretty favorable schedule from here on out except for OSU away from home.
