OU-Texas Tech

[Doosh]

Anyone seen an early line on this one? I'm hearing OU -9, but I can't find it anywhere online. Thanks.

At OU -9 I'd take Tech. It should be less than a TD either way. I have it inside a FG.

I'm giving Doosh the benefit of the doubt that he's referring to a future line.

OU -5

I think they release 6 or 6.5 and let the betting take it from there. maybe a 7 .

If the line opens over 7 that means that oklahoma is the side to bet........... i would not bet it but it means that linesmakers know oklahoma covers.

I will take Tech ML - they are better than OU

 

[ynnhoj316]

currently, it is OU -7.5 on sportsbook's games of the year...

it was OU -14 at the beginning of the season

tech plus the points or nothing for me.

Vegas betting on OU covering.

I'm calling it OU -6..........I'll be on Tech no matter what the line.

If the Tech D hasn't impressed the shit out of you, you ain't been watching.

Also, the OU D is quite unimpressive.

Thanks, RJ. The word circulating on the OU message boards was that Vegas had posted an early line for the game: OU -9.

As for how to cap it, if it's in the 7 to 9 range, it seems to be begging you to take Tech, no?

I'm thinking OU -9.5

said it somewhere else...but so much is going to depend upon the overall health of the Sooner defense. as things stand today, they won't be able to stop TT. they've given up 28+ pts for a stretch now to lessor teams.
that said, i still think this is the tricky spot for tech...cuz the Sooners have been putting up damn near 60 for an equal stretch.
could honeslty see me on either side of this game at the moment...all depending on health, and what the actual line is in 2 weeks.
