OM-Texas line has moved from 3 1/2 to -4 1/2 Texas...

[Coach34]

firing Manny gave the bettors some more confidence on Texas

[RougeDawg]

Or maybe people around the country just got around to looking at what juggernauts OM has played thus far in the season.

[cheewgumm]

Hate to bet on om but its gotta be done.

[CJDAWG85]

Take Texas

[RougeDawg]

TX gonna roll up Bucky and the Bears. Wait and see. Shitty Vandy made a ton of mistakes and still should have beaten them. Wallace will be back to his usual turnover mode against a competent team. Vandy may have one more SEC win this year against Kentucky.

I think everyone will see what Vandy is made of this week against South Carolina.

If they keep it within 10 points, I'll be stunned. I hope they don't because I have been telling every bear that will listen that Vandy is basically Kentucky, but if they can play SC close, I may have to eat those words.

not yet- I was looking around on VegasInsider

I wouldnt do that if I were you...

[hailmari]

I won't be surprised or impressed with whoever wins.

[regdawg18]

I think Ole Miss is going to win. Or at least I would like to see this painted as a must win for them. I mean how can they lose now? They are supposed to be better than BYU right? Arent they a contender in the SEC West?

[fishwater99]

I agree C34..

Texas wins by 10+ this Saturday night in Austin...

[EAVdog]

This is one of those games where the mental state of both teams is going to be a huge factor. Does Texas fold, does Ole Miss get a come-upance, does the loss of Manny inspire or depress the Defense?

I wouldn't be surprised to see either team win and win big. I don't really see a close game, which is about all I'm willing to guess.

[NewTweederEndzoneDance]

I'd be curious to know if that movement has anything to do with money coming in on Texas from Vegas itself. I know that sometimes they will put down money in order to move the line one way or the other and get more action coming in, which is generally a pretty big indicator of how they feel the game will go.

[Bothrops]

I don't know the state of mind that Texas is in right now, but I figure they must feel enough obligation/pride to win at home against a lower tier SEC team. I really feel like the depth issues that OM has could cost them later in the game. But then again, Texas could go full USC on them from the start...

Tough call

[bocfarm]

The books won't even take the game as of right now...I realize the line is out there on vegasinsider but you can't bet on it. There a reason for that.

I think it has to do with Ash and whether he plays. If he plays I think Texas wins by 10+. If he doesn't, I still think Texas wins, but its close.

[ckDOG]

Unless the OM WR corps are really that bad ass, I don't see them having the power running game necessary to move the ball against a defense with solid talent. Their running game was non-existent against Vandy and the OL took a hit since then. BYU bowled over the Texas defensive front. I can't see OM doing that unless they are able to burn UT deep with Moncrief. That remains to be seen, but I'll believe it when I see it...

[Bear@Work]

Even if OM wins, that tells me nothing. Texas is a walking trainwreck right now. Same with Vandy without Boyd and with the scandal hanging over their heads plus they're just not very good. No matter what OM does in that game, it tells me nothing. Unless, of course, they lose. Then it confirms everything we already know...that Bucky's Bears are a sham.

I've been watching the line since it first came out and it hasn't moved. The VI Open showed -3.5 Texas the same time the concensus was posted as -4.5. The Diaz firing came after that and they haven't updated since. Plus, Ash appears to be questionable so it doesn't surprise me they haven't released that line.

Good thing for us though, when they actually do release it it will probably be a DRAW or OM laying points and we can jump all over that. My wife and I usually set aside $500 every 2 weeks out of our paychecks so we can take a big vacation every year. Since we last went to Paris in May, that fund will be up to $3500 and I'm gonna double it up with Texas this weekend!!! Really hope they make that line available.

[cheewgumm]

The place i go had no line...so couldn't, but I woulda.




I wouldnt do that if I were you...

[bocfarm]

I'm taking OM and the points or even if their favored by a few. TX is this yrs Arkansas, their gonna lay down after OM runs all over them in the first qrt

[Maroons]

The place i go had no line...so couldn't, but I woulda.

5Dimes had it at UT -2.5 as of late Wed. morning.

From what I gather, McCoy will be the QB.

[thunderclap]

That line has sucker bet written all over it. I just can't figure out for which side.

[bocfarm]

It's on the board now at -2.5 TX...McCoy is starting and their #1 WR isn't playing

Easy bet
