I'm not kidding. Why isn't this line OSU -7? The last time a line didn't make this much sense was USC/Utah

No idea, some of the OSU fans that pay attention to this stuff are wondering the same thing.

With Seth Russel and company I'd be worried, but with a team that plays better at home, dominated the one real opponent we've played, idk.. Maybe it's the inconsistency. I really don't know, I don't really pay attention to this stuff. It is interesting though. Baylor is facing multiple injuries too. Stidham looked pretty hesitant/lost at timse against OU. He clearly struggles with the speed of athletes at the Big 12.

I think it's this: outside of that TCU game Okie Lite seems like they've barely scraped by, including close games against mediocre competition like CMU, ISU, UT, and KSU. They're 10-0 but could easily be 6-4.

On a per play basis Baylor has been far more dominant this year, much like USC was compared to Utah a month ago. I think that's why the Vegas sharps like BU in this one, and I'm going to roll with them because I agree.

Except that was with Russell. Stidham is struggling so far with Big 12 defenses and he's about to face one of the better ones tonight on the road.

Don't think I'll be wrong on this one.

Fresno St +27
Miami +2 1/2
Baylor - 2 1/2
Ohio St -13 1/2
Vandy +7

UCLA vs Utah is down to a pick. With major injuries on the defense of both teams and Booker being out UCLA has big advantage in my eyes.

I think you underestimated how garbage Oregon State is.

That makes total sense... Except why is Baylor a road favorite with an injured QB against an undefeated team?

Vegas is practically begging you to take OK State.

Vegas begged him to take Oklahoma State, you'll never guess what happened next!

Only thing I'm sad about is getting a shit ML on Baylor, I thought I was gonna make more than $10k and I ended up with less because Baylor was favored on the road? Fuuu

I'm never betting again, going out on top!

Fuck: I had that same thought yesterday.

Now that you've applied the reverse jinx, I will walk away: there's a lot of games I really, really like this weekend.

If you watched Utah last week you would have little faith in them. 90% of the offense is hurt and they are starting 4th string DB's. They don't have to depth yet to deal with a lot of injuries and it has completely destroyed the team. They also have never beaten Colorado by more than a touchdown.

The biggest thing though is this is Utah, Whittingham doesn't blow anyone out.

Colorado put up 3 points on Wazzu last week. If Liufau is still out, I would probably take Utah to hit that. Even if their offense can't score, the defense isn't going to give up anything.

Sure Utah will win just not cover.

I think they could cover if Covey is healthy and they force some turnovers. That QB is only making his second start and threw 2 picks against Wazzu last week.

Already got ma' ticket in for Alabama -17. Roll Tide.

The B1G Over (52.5) is my favorite bet this weekend: both offenses are far better than the public perception, especially Iowa. Think this game is easily played somewhere in the 60's.

The other total that's interesting is the Over (65) in the ACC championship game. Both offenses are very good to elite, while UNC struggles to stop the run. Will have to think about this one some more though because the number seems too easy: thought it would open at 69 and move into the 70's pretty quickly.
