Bama -16 seems like free money even on the road. What am I missing there?

That Bama likes to come out, get up 21-0 by the end of the 1Q so they can dick around the rest of the game.

Still, I don't see how A&M scores points in that game

The only way is if Bama is up 45-17 or something and mails in the fourth quarter, and aggy covers at 45-31 after garbage points. 

Now that I type that, they're not scoring 31 against Bama even if Bama plays backups the entire game.

Yeah pretty sure Bama's backups are better than Colorado, MSU, and maybe Ark's starters. Aggy scored 10, 22, 10 in those games. I guess Bama would probably go into a prevent D though

Covering against Bama is Fisher's Super Bowl, kind of like UT and Fat Gare.

What does Vegas know that we don’t.  OU hasn’t shown anything worth a shit 

Sounds like they set the line in the right place

That they can get half the money on either side of that line?

Yup, Nick likes to keep shitty coaches around in the SEC apparently. Keeping things close on the scoreboard with coaches like Jimblow, makes good business sense for bama long-term, unless he just wants to disembowel them at Pyle, so that aggy  will STFU for a day or 2.

Nothing. Vegas never gets this game right. They're just trying to balance each side.

I don't think Saban has short-term or long-term fears about aggy at all, even with someone like Meyer or Dabo coaching. But let's be real--a high caliber coach is not going to take the aggy job.

I'll take it. This has to be the closest this line has been in literally decade. Or longer. When was the last time we were even favored? Colt's senior year?

heres the lines since 00. Looks like  09 and 05 were the last times we were favored. thats pathetic.

Sort of... we've covered 12 of the last 17 years. Which tells me this game typically gets a lot of really dumb OU money placed on it.

First of all, you don’t bet on the Texas OU game. It’s the dumbest bet in all of college football because literally nobody knows what is going to happen, not even Vegas. And the lines over the years have completely borne that out. Think Mack’s funeral game in 2013 where the fighting case McCoy’s blew the Sooners out easily despite being heavy underdogs.

Second of all, I’m not gonna jink it by saying online on a stupid post what it is but there’s an X factor going on here that let’s just say gives the good guys an advantage.

Third of all, OU sucks.

Seems like an easy bet on the under. Their defense will come out firing for the rivalry game, our defense is weak but OU’s offense is shit. I see us winning a 28-20 or 31-21 type of game.

Rattler will play awful and get pulled and the OU backup will come in and keep it close but Horns win.  

I’ve seen this story before, approximately a year ago 😐😐 except turtle Tom and shit.

LOL, Strong covered the spread every year.

Also, I'm seeing the forecast is for high of 93 on Saturday. Fuck that shit.

And texags will still be talking about how they'd be 5-1 and still alive for the playoff if only Haynes King hadn't gotten hurt.

I just can't wait to hear what Mike from Houston has to say this week...

Well, Jimbo did mouth off earlier this year that would beat Bama’s ass. I wouldn’t be surprised if Saban let the team run it up a bit just to keep Jimbo in check.

The high temperature is usually around 4 or 5PM. Game will be well over by then.

Doubt it even makes 90 during the game.
