Is Blake Griffin out or something? I've already put $$$ on OU, and I'm wanting to unload. Thoughts? Responses? RX FORUM, REACT!!!!

This line seems accurate. OU probably -7-9 nuetral floor and -13-15 at home.

They've been covering these small road lines all year. Not too sure why Vegas keeps giving them.

ahh yes, seems like most of the time when a thread gets started with a question like this, the game loses. if i bet ou games, i'd be playing baylor tonight. as it stands, i'll be rooting for you jb.

recent examples: thread title from last night: texas -9? are you serious. texas went on to win in blowout fashion.

monday night: boise/fresno. line was a pk, everyone hopped on boise. boise = big fat loser.

This game has me a bit fucked up.

Here is why. #1 the number is bad but the line is set accurate if that makes sense. OU -3 definitley looks like a very good play. However the number makes sense when you break it down.

The kicker though is we have another one of these games with a short line and Baylor getting owned by OU in the past.

I want to bet OU but my instincts tell me stay away.

I'm thinking that would want them to play with more heart if that is the case.

Are the Griffin Brothers out on this one?

Oklahoma just isn't getting respect from Vegas.

Underdog vs. Purdue where they won 87-82.
5 point favorite at Tulsa where they won 69-44.
Underdog at Kansas St. where they won 61-53.
4 point favorite vs. Texas where they won 78-63.
4.5 favorite at Texas A&M where they won 69-63.
2.5 favorite at Oklahoma St. where they won 89-81.

Oklahoma has owned Baylor and they destroyed them 95-76 earlier this year. Baylor doesn't play consistent defense and turns over the ball way too much.

What's funny is that there has been a thread just like this before almost everyone of those games. Everytime it has cashed. Keep riding the train until it derails. Good Luck tonight!

i duno this game reminds me of the wake miami game where a wake team that wasnt playing that well really coming into the game (losers of 2 of 3 one against an awful gtech) was barely laying any against a miami team who was playing absolutely terrible and we know what happened there jsut a week ago. this oklahoma team isnt playing good at all coming into this game, two lackluster home wins against tex a/m and a horrible colorado team, throw in a very decieving 10 point win against iowa st 3 games back that has to be among one of the luckiest covers of the season and line makes a ton of sense. obviously the oddsmakers have a low opinion of oklahoma sorta like they do of wake forest and the team has cooled off since and its just a matter of when for oklahoma to fall back.

OU has always come thru... Vegas has given OU some favorable lines to scare people away from betting them, but I think the public has finally caught on...

I have been betting OU moneyline for the past 6 games, they all came thru... They are due for an upset tho... hopefully it won't be tonight!!!

Parly Uconn and OU tonight.
