Can anyone tell me why I shouldnt pound Oklahoma +1? Oklahoma is playing great ball and has THE best player in the country going up against a Texas team that seems to not be able to get the win over good teams.

I completely see your point, but I am suspicious of this line.
Just like St. John's v. Duke

over 90% of early $ on Oklahoma.

When's the last time a #2 ranked team goes on road and is a PK against a non-ranked conference opponent?

I know, I feel like I'm falling into a trap but it seems too good not to play! This will probably move to OK being favored by game time

The overated team in this one is Texas. Ou wins easily. Too much for Texas to handle. Don't read too much into the line.

Bet Texas. I'm here in Austin, and the Erwin Center is sold out.
I expected the line to be -2 OU, but it is -1 TX. The line is very
suspicious with no movement for OU with 95% of public betting for
OU.

Texas just had their asses handed to them @ A&M. THIS GAME is Texas NCAA final. They are also worried about making it
to the tournament. OU yes is about to be a #1 seed, but
TX is hungrier than OU with a sellout crowd, which they NEVER get.

Heard it here second along with jbragg, but Texas is the play here.

Taking OU looks like the easiest play in weeks...
Who in their right mind would take Texas, they've looked horrible, and really only have 1 guy that can score the ball.

That said, whenever you see a scenario like that, either play the team you don't think should win, or stay away.

I don't care where they play. No one on Texas will be able to stop Blake Griffin. OU rolls in this game!!!

I agree with your thought process, and so does probably 90% of the country, so why is the line +1?....and who in their right mind is going to bet on Texas? You have to factor those things in, because most of the time this type of situation ends up biting you.

Texas falls into the unranked fave vs. a ranked dog angle. Probably the most profitable angle I've ever seen. I'm on Texas.

this isn't a trap its an accurate line.

Texas NEEDS this game and will be fired up. OU is the better team and I think they come out with a close win, but staying away since texas can easily take this one. you know they have been watching film on griffin all week

If there is a team that can stop him it is this one. They have depth and size down there and will be aggressive. Does that mean they win? NO! They will not be able to score today.

Unders! The only thing that take this over is foul situation. TX will rack them up.
