Devil's advocate...

Okie State is a very bad team. Baylor should be able to win 80-7 if they wanted to, and they may want to for style points to climb the CFB ladder.

I get the position with potential weather calamity in Waco and public steam on Baylor, but Okie State is a dogshit team and one of the worst teams in the Big 12.

Their QB Daxx Garman may not even play due to a concussion. The OSU players may have already quit at this point, they have not produced anything close to a cover or win in the last month and half.

This isn't an endorsement to lay the points with Baylor, but it would be a 100% "hold my nose" pick if I wanted OSU, and I'm not looking for action that badly lol.

I generally shy away from taking truly terrible teams, even if I think the line might be too big. For example, if I were to take Eastern Michigan and lose, it would just piss me off that I backed a pure dogshit team, and so even if i think the pendulum has swung too far, I'll just lay off.

That's kinda how I feel about okie lite. Baylor's prolly giving too many points, but I just generally get squeamish about backing a team that completely blows. And okie lite is really bad. They're barely even scoring at this point, and against teams that are not difficult to score against. .
