I don't get the love for Baylor in 2019. I suppose it's because they get all the big boys at home this year?
I would say it's because people are putting all of their eggs in the basket on Charlie Brewer. They also bring back some talent at RB and WR but their defense is going to have to make tremendous changes to be able to get to 7 wins again. They should realistically win their first three games: SFA, UTSA, and Rice. It's actually interesting that they get to play us, OU, and Texas all at home. Coming out on top of just one of those games is going to be extremely tough for them.
I know that as far as win percentages go, this was one of the games we were picked to lose, I think we were given something on the lines of a 49% to win? We'll see how things turn out for both teams for the first three games, and then we'll have a better feel for the game, but if we're 3-0, I really like our chances and think we have the momentum. The game's going to be chippy and have some carry over from last year, and I guarantee CMC is going to put a huge emphasis on playing smart and let them do all the talking.
