Some interesting matchups this weekend ...

[surly]

ISU +(3.2+0.3) @ oSu - I've been on oSu from the getgo
Ku +18.5 @ K-State - that's a lot of points in a rivalry game
OU -6.5 @ TCU - Frogs with the points
Baylor +10.5 @ Texas - Bear down
WVU -3 @ TxT - upset special?

It’s hard to ever root for Baylor but damn..... that would be funny as hell if they went into Austin and won.

 

[TheJackWePack5]

-ISU +3.5... probably get Sanders, but I’ll still take Purdy & co.
-KSU should easily cover 18.5 at home. KU is awful.
-Oklahoma is going to win out.
-Baylor covers but loses.
-Tech has a shot but they aren’t very good. WVU covers.

 

[KCClone1]

ISU - Homer pick
KSU - KU is awful
OU - they are just better
TX - Baylor rusty
TTU - Columbi should have been starting last week. This is actually the pick I am most confident in

+3.2 is an oddly specific line.

OSU - ISU comes out slow on offense after being off a week and won't be able to make it up.
KU - They're bad, but not that bad
OU - They'll run all over that TCU defensive scheme.
Texas - Baylor has too much disruption.
WVU - They're going to boat race TTU.

Is Baylor expected to play this week?

Won’t OSU becoming off of two weeks off?

It’s weird, but I think UT is the only one you get right against the spread. But there’s a reason I don’t gamble.

I'm not saying you're wrong in your pick, but ISU had a week off before TCU and we actually got on track from a lousy showing against UL-L. Not to mention if you want to go by your rust theory, OSU's been off for two straight weeks - they'd be a hell of a lot rustier than our side.

By that logic, shouldn’t OSU come out even slower? They will have been off for 3 total weeks after their game vs Baylor was cancelled and the off week. And if Sanders is back to starting, he hasn’t played since Sept 19.

Well, it might be just a bit too big a spread to set it at 3.5. Since there are those pesky 0.3 point plays to worry about.

 

[BCClone]

Is Ramos supposed to be a go?

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

He's gotta justify his OSU crush somehow. Even if it doesn't logically make sense.

A lot of the OSU pick was me protecting against the kick in the nuts. This is a huge game for ISU and I just can't get myself to the point that I expect to win it. Maybe it's just PTSD from all the past experience I have with games that could put ISU into the Big12 title game contention.

Trust me, I’ve experienced that PTSD as well. We all have.

 

[Statefan10]

ISU (+3.2) - Weird line but I think we lose this by a field goal or less. This game smells like we miss a game tying field goal or miss an extra point to lose (I'm so sorry)

KSU (-18.5) - I honestly think KSU might cover that in the first half.

OU (-6.5) - Sooner's roll em.

Baylor (+10.5) - I think this will be a close game but Texas ends up pulling it off.

TTU (+3) - Columbi has a day and shows why he should've started day one. The Red Raiders pull off an upset.

 

[surly]

Iowa State wins Saturday, they run the table. This is the most important game of the year.

Surly please be quiet. It's only Monday and I'm already nervous as s***.

I'm going to go with:
OSU - wins but doesn't cover
KSU - Easy cover
OU - Will destroy TCU
Baylor - UT wins though
TT - I think that they pull it out with Columbi, but this is the one I'm most unsure of.

Wow, the one most interesting because I really haven't a clue who wins it is yours v. the Pokes. Two teams that look a lot alike to me sans QB where ISU has a very clear advantage negated somewhat by playing it off in Stillwater.
