the line started as high as -10 so Im thinking somethings up with TCU and Baylor might be pretty good

I know TCU lost Dalton and some key contributors, but the defense should still be good. Baylor has lost their starting and backup RBs and some key cogs on OL. Baylor got Phil Bennett at DC, but I don't think it's going to be enough to turn them into a decent defense overnight.

I would be all over TCU in this one.

That's what i'm thinking. I mean, TCU should still have wayyy more talent especially on defense right?

RGIII has never really impressed me. He's a talented athlete, there's no doubt, but he's not Jesus and he can't will that bunch to a win by himself. The lack of a consistent running game will severely hurt Baylor this year, IMO.

Baylor is a tough place to play for sure.

Rumors that they're taking the tarp off the end zone...

When Chucky Hunter signed with them last year I checked out their last 4 signing classes. Hunter is the only 4 star DL on their entire roster. They really don't have much talent at all.

I think Baylor is the play here. Senior QB will be clutch.

I got TCU -3.5 and lovin' it. TCU is coming off that huge Rose Bowl win over Wisconsin. Patterson will have em ready to play, and it's Baylor.

This team is not even remotely comparable to last years Rose Bowl team. The talent has dropped a great deal.

BU has a shot to win this game. Opening the season at home with revenge on their minds from last years beat down.

unsure if this is a *good* angle, but here is my take:

TCU -4 is a gift (i actually just got it at -3.5). the public is playing Baylor because "TCU is without dalton" and "Baylor has heisman hopeful RGIII" however, TCUs three-headed RB combo should make this dalton-less transition easy, especially against freakin' Baylor who lacks any semblance of a defensive line.

patterson has had an entire summer to prepare; this game should not be close.

41-24

I'm on Baylor, but at + 10.5 (tied in with LSU + 10).

Ties win for this teaser.
