Guess that's about right. Although I don't know much about OSU. They haven't lost their whole OL, starting a true frosh QB, or something like that, right?

Vegas misses just as often as they get it right

Preseason last year we were favored in all games but lsu, bama, and Arkansas. How'd that work out?

Vegas got murdered with us last year.. We will have good odds esp the beginning of the season..

Oklahoma State was 3rd in 2012 Division IA offense, 547 YPG/45.7 PPG. Mississippi State was 73rd at 381.3 YPG/29.5 PPG.


Oklahoma State was 94th in 2012 Division IA defense 445 YPG/30.6 PPG. Mississippi State was 53rd at 397.6 YPG/24.5 PPG.

I think most of that criteria that they use for the first few games of the season is based a lot on how the team performed the previous season ... I would bet the balance of my V-cash account with 11-1/2 point spot

[Coach34]

It all depends on our DL being better and if we make up our mind to run the the damn football like we are supposed to.

[SnakePlissken]

I think we will be better running the ball against them, to eat up clock, but I am still scared to death at how fast they score. If we don't match them score for score it could get ugly for us.

I'd say they got it pretty accurate. Picking 9 of 12 games correctly isn't bad.

a retarded monkey can pick a favorite- it's the points people are talking about where they are off as much as they are correct

You're right. Thinking back last year seems like such a terrible year in my mind, but we were 8-4 in the regular season. Boy, I would love to be 8-4 again.

[Goat Holder]

Maybe. But that's not what the guy said.

Vegas was off by 9 or more points on the spreads of our games in 8 of the 11 they handicapped.

[Pollodawg]

We can beat OSU if the DL can get us enough pressure on their QB to take some of the heat off of our Secondary. This DL has the potential to make it happen. This is the most talented (notice I said talent, not good) DL we'ev had since some of Jackie's squads. This has the potential to be an LSU/ Bama DL. We just have to make sure they're as good as advertised.


Oh, and we need to pound the rock.........

If we decide to not run the ball down their Big12 defensive throats, they will be 100% correct.
To me, controlling clock will be HUGE in this game. Keep their talented offense off the ****ing field.

Vegas is out to make money, not necessarily to be right. The line is 11.5 because Vegas believes that will get equal betting on both sides.

Not too worried about this. I think there's much less than a 50% chance we lose by 12 or more.

Newish defensive coordinator. Check
Untested secondary. Check
Anemic offense. Check.

I just hope we don't get blown out on national television.
