early big 12 football heads up

shortbus · Aug 13, 2003

Just a heads up on an early line for the bedlam game (osu/ou). The line is -17. Get it now and it's a sure middle. If OSU beats Nebraska in the season opener they are sure to be 5 and 0 heading into the KState game at home. Not saying that they are going to win that game but if they can pick up one more win to equal six before the OU game the line is likely to be 13 or less, maybe even less than 10.

Honestly, with OU's offensive unit, I can't see them making it that far without a loss. They definately don't deserve a number one ranking. Starter Jason White (with two knee surgeries) threw two interceptions in the teams first fall scrimmage yesterday.

Also, Oklahoma State is getting 10 at Nebraska. I think they (OSU) will win that game by 14 or more. Most of you who have been posting here for awhile know I went to school there and that I tend to favor them the majority of the time, but you also know that I know the big 12 in and out. I'm playing the line and the money line on this game and WILL break even at worst.

I'll be posting writeups for most big 12 games this season as I'm going to TRY really hard this year to stay away from games not involving the big 12, giving me more time to concentrate on what I'm good at, and less time to squander that on games i'm not as knowledgeable about, and ones that "you guys"

talk me into.

Good luck this season everyone and I look forward to reading everyone's college football thoughts this year.

If they can find their shoes before the trip to Lincoln that is! I HATE Neb., but you can bet your ass they won`t have forgotten LY loss @ Stillwater. OSU hasn`t won there in 43 YRS!! I DO agree 17 is way too many, and anything over 10 is a good #. I see a reverse of LY score. But anyway good luck to you and SG, allthough I am a lifetime Big 10`r the Big 12 is an awesome conference! Just kidding about the shoes (I think). That Conf. Champ. gm just kills you tho. I imagine due to the $$ factor the Big 10 will eventually go that way. LOL

osu is tough this year. miles is the shit. this man has taken osu to national statis. they will light up the score boards this year. the days of asi are over. fields could play anywhere in the nation. this is coming from a sooner. nebraska better be wearing their jocks for this one. 17 is way too many points for nebraska to be giving. this isn't the days of osborne, its the dog days of solich. i see an opportunity for a nice pay day here. bet on the money line at kick.

Shortbus, I'm similar in strategy to you. Over the last three or four years I've hit about 60% on BIGXII games, quite a bit lower on national games. I usually put 1.5% to 2.5% on BIGXII games and 1% to 1.5% on the rest. Any thoughts or info on NEB and COL this year?
