The line on Texas vs WVU opened with Texas as a 1 point favorite. Now it's up to 3.


Please explain.......
 
Haven't lost at home this year, back to back wins, Vegas must be feeling big mo is in UT favor. I thought the line would move the other way though.
 
1. The big 12 sucks this year. Kansas and Iowa State are the only layups on everyone's schedule. Good luck betting on these games.
2. We are playing better, no one can deny that.
3. We pay much better at home
4. This fanbase thought the past two weeks lines were easy money betting against Texas, and it turns out we were wrong. So being confused again this week shouldn't be a surprise.
 
If you watched the OSU WVU game the second that WVU could not run on OSU they started to pass. OSU was their first real challenge and the failed. Skyler Howard is not that good when under pressure so I am thinking that Vegas thinks we are doing well enough to stop the run now that when he is forced to pass we will shut him down.
 
It will be an interesting game to say the least. WVU has a defense with a pulse. While I have faith that Mr. Foreman will do well, I have less faith in the O-line getting the job done. I hope to be proven wrong though.
 
Forget that line. OU -14.5 vs. BU? The Bears quit last week. This will be a 35 point blowout. At halftime. Plus its 11:00 kickoff - you can enjoy brunch while cashing a check. Plus I am 1 and 1 in my locks of the year, so take it to the bank.

WVU will be a good test for the Horns. 3 points? I'd take WVU, because I think its a tossup.

And then Oklahoma will move up another 5 spots in the rankings. So stupid. Im worried this week for Texas. I have no idea what will happen. We need the W though
 
I thought the line tried to balance the bets. More Texas than hillbilly bettors.

yeah that one is a head scratcher. I would've thought at least 18 point spread.
 
The spread is set to get even money on both sides, but the way they got to it was basically they think WVU is three points better, but adjusted the spread three points in favor of the home team, then added one point to encourage betting on the side of WVU. Since then though, people have bet more heavily on Texas to cover, causing the line to move even further in favor of betting on WVU.
I haven't seen WVU play a single game all year, but my guess would be they don't like WVU's defense against Foreman.

wow somehow I signed in with the wrong screen name. Didn't even realize that was ever set up.
 
last week many questioned Texas minus 3 at Tech last week.....as I said then...Vegas is smart. They dont miss by huge amounts that often....apparently there are reasons Vegas thinks we win a close one.

Having said that....I assume they have some diagnostic that allows them to be able to build in the bone head way we play sometimes.
 
I don't think foreman is great, just good. Kind of the same with Mixon and perine. The big 12 defenses tend to make offensive players better than they are in reality. As for the game, I think this is a toss up. I would be surprised if it's a blowout either way

I am counting on them moving up. It will be fun watching them get a another holiday bowl beating :) That defense may actually be worse than ours and It is the worst defense in the top 15.
 
Vegas tries to equal betting on both sides(gotta make money either way). Money poured in on Texas -1 and so it went up to 3.

I think it will be close. Texas is improving on D
They play great at home
Strong has a great recored against top 12 teams
Big 12 has been pretty close this year as a whole

I think Texas wins by 3
 
Hey guys . . . think about this scenario for a sec. We beat WVU at home and play our best game of the year, defense really steps up. Then we beat Kansas on the road in convincing fashion, offense puts up 50 and we pop into the top 25 riding a 4 game win streak. Foreman has 1,800 + yards. Buechele locks in freshman team QB All American.

Then we finish out at home against hated TCU and scumbag Patterson with Charlie's job hanging in the balance! Win and he stays, lose and he's gone. Win and we go to a good bowl, lose and we go to another sheety bowl. Win and we get a top 5 2017 recruiting class, lose and we don't crack the top 10.

It'll be 'must see TV' baby! God I hope it works out that way. The drama would be immense at that TCU game. Would have to dial up my bookie for that one. Just kidding, I don't do that kind of stuff! ;):D
 
Hey--- for those of you following me on twitter... check out the update I put up today.... yes, that's really him.
 
awww crap....dammit Clob! My phone has a roto dial....now you tell me you are tweeting?

Oldman, I started that account a year ago when I went to budapest to send pics of hot Hungarian women. Then I kept it going when I was in Africa in May. Met with an awesome dude today in Atlanta about a business deal who's basically one of the most famous people on the planet--- figured you jokers would get a kick out of it.
 
I did hear that baylor now only has 75 guys on scholarship and they are having problems with depth as the season goes on. I think they only have 2 commits so far for the 17 class and they are a 2 and 3 star. I think we are seeing the beginning of the end like run. Similar to what happened to SMU. I feel for some of the kids but in all honesty, i want the school to burn in hell. The staff and the adults just do not get it and if they have not by now...they never will.
 
@clob94
You seen this?
The record of WVU 7 wins:
2-7
FCS
4-4
4-5
5-4
5-4
1-8

I still think they are a good team. Bc good teams should beat bad teams. But they haven't played much, schedule is back loaded.
 
Pat Jones said this morning that Baylor now has 66 guys suited up. It may be worse than we thought.

i kinda like us in this game as well. no clue why. i guess d'onta

also i have a theory that the travel demands on the west virginia team will never allow them to run through the conference schedule unbeaten and that it wears on themat the end of the season. great job by dana this year, but i think we win saturday
