Interestingly enough I didn’t recall them talking bout a lot of those on podcast. I usually have to listen to it twice tho cause I play it at night in bed and tend to fall asleep during. Lol.

Feel like everyone, touts and all pushing okie lite this week. I understand not great spot for Baylor but I like bears run defense which I think be big here. I did hear someone mention they had some injury concerns at linebacker, that would prob get me off my Bears lean. Just can’t help but think they will be able to move ball and they can slow down okie lite running game, if you force cowboys to throw I dunno how good they are??

You're correct in what you say about Baylor, 2daBank. I like Ruhle and really like the way his teams play. I bet on him all the time at Temple.

I like Ok State this week though. Baylor's had too many down to the wire hard games in a row, including a double OT last week (which they only won because the refs made a major blunder and applied a rule that expressly does not apply to the situation they applied it to). Doesn't help that their best D player is out this week

Ok State has had a maddening habit last year and this year of coming out completely flat half the time, but I'm counting on a week off getting hammered by the coaching staff to have the ready this week.
 
I do agree spot much more ideal for okie lite. Last week was 1st big 12 game I laid off Baylor, wasn’t any way I was gonna lay the points w them after finally cracking top 25. I do really like this team tho.

The double ot certainly don’t help them here vs fresh cowboys squad. That my one big concern. The total steaming up so high also gives me pause cause that certainly implies it gonna be played at cowboys pace. I dunno, maybe I should just pass but I don’t love a ton of sides on this card and keep finding my way back to this one. Lol
 
It is always really hard to trust the Oklahoma State defense.

Baylor appears to be the total package, but the schedule faced is pretty light. The ppg isn't real strong...21 vs Rice, 23 vs ISU, 31 on K St is good, then they only had 20 in regulation vs Texas Tech at home.

I think Baylor is a nice team, destined for an 8 or 9 win season.

I also still like Oklahoma State and am willing to chalk their bad performance vs TT as a fluke. TT did not stop Hubbard. They rattled Sanders. I'd like to think that is a learning experience for both the coaches and for Sanders himself. Off the bye in the friendly confines of home I would expect a strong offensive showing. It's just how much success does Baylor have vs Ok St D...because I'm not sure I have seen anything to expect a strong Pokes defensive showing. Then again, this Baylor D garnering attention might show out to be not all people think it is too.

I think it prob a foregone conclusion Baylor will score, just say that cause the total and how it has steamed up since the high open., that kinda worries me for the Baylor side cause don’t think it in their best interest for game to be played at that pace.

I know bears SOS been poor but actually think that got me value in their 1st few big 12 games (being home dogs to isu and then at kst), thought lines caught up to them last week and certainly not saying they should be favs here but I kinda disagree these teams even on neutral, I’d make them small favs (less than 3). Im just a believer in their d. I have no doubt that rb for cowboys will break a few but think if they can keep him from taking over I dunno how good cowboys passing game is?

I definitely agree with you that Baylor was undervalued in the ISU and K St games and they were overpriced last week. I was on them in the first two and against them last week. This week I would rather be on Ok St.

Sanders is first year of starting, but their passing game can be really good...and he has great mobility. I am a believer in Sanders. I bet them vs Texas Tech...and I actually came back for more in the 2nd H vs Texas Tech despite what I saw in the 1st H. Their O was good when they weren't turning it over. Literally, if they could've run Hubbard 50x that game they win. I think it was just a bad game for Sanders, I am ok putting trust back in him.
 
Rams killed me last week but how the hell they only laying 3 to that dumpster fire in atl? Actually both these teams fukked me last week! Lol. The atl loss was more pathetic,, they can be bummed about kicker all they want but needing that xp to freaking tie it with zona is a joke in itself!! Cant see how anyone playing the stinky birds?
 
Got +8 so added Texas Tech +8. Running the risk their tank may be empty after last week, but I like Wells and I like TT at home
 
Still trying to talk myself into temple. See they a lean for you., as much as I think bye was prob good for okie lite feel like it might not be so good for a smu team not used to this kind of success.
