I think that line is just about right. Georgia isn't that great on defense. And Vandy does seem to be improving, although after the first two weeks there wasn't anywhere to go but up. Really, I think 28 or 31 is what it's going to be, so gun to my head I take Vandy.

The public is absolutely hammering Oklahoma, but I still think they are the right side.
The only way you can back TCU is if you think they can win outright, IMO. I just can't see it. Their offense is very unproven.

There is RLM on this game though... public all over Oklahoma yet the line has gone from -6 to -4

Yeah, Vegas is getting cute, trying to push the narrative that TCU is a live dog.
Just don't believe it.

But their defense is the best in the conference and has even improved over last years quality.
Id stay away for sure, TCU is legit.

"Vegas" had similar line movements with Missouri/Indiana and ND/Michigan
Public hammering Missouri and Michigan and yet the line was going the other way...and Vegas absolutely smashed it by encouraging more wagers on the wrong side. A thing of beauty really.

My opinion is that the smart/sharp money has come in on the Frogs and they are not comfortable moving the line to encourage more action on them, so are keeping it at 4/5.
If they wanted more TCU action the line would be 6.5-7 right now

Yeah it is similar, but this line move is more window dressing than anything. Few games fall in the 6 to 4 window. It's a dead zone since the key numbers are 3 and 7.
I'll contend to look at it one way. If I think TCU can win this game outright, I'll play them on the ML. If I don't, I'll back OU minus the points. The move is negligible.
Is one of the best teams in the country going to lose straight up to TCU? I can't buy that story right now from what I've seen.

The key to the game will be TCU's offensive execution. We already know their defense is good enough to hold Oklahoma in the 20s.
From what I have seen from them this year they still are pretty bad in short yardage situations and 3rd downs in general, so TCU will need some big plays and to force turnovers to win the field position war.

Not to mention OUs defense. I just cant see Boykin out scoring Knight. TCU has yet to play anyone with a pulse yet so we are still in a spot going off of how they performed last year. The only team theyve faced with a semi pulse is Minny and they only put up 30.

Oklahoma is only giving 4 points? wtf?

I'll pretty much avoid any game with RLM, but damn 4 is tempting.

They were up 24-0 at half and sat on them. Don't see the issue here. TCU's defense is pretty good, too.
