I think aTm will win by 2TDs at least, but I'm not touching it

Do you know anything about SMU? I think TAMU will have a strong bounce back performance, but I don't know anything about SMU. Do they still run the air raid offense that made Colt Brennan a 1st round pick?

does anyone here not bet the square picks?

I can pretty much just go to covers, see who the consensus picks are, then come and read this thread and see all of the exact same teams getting bet

I said if it got to -10 I was dropping the account.

Now that it's dropped so much I want to know why it's dropping so much

I know they got 10 turnovers from SFA but gave up almost 500 yards. Baylor beat the shite out of them a couple weeks ago.

yes, same offense with June Jones

I don't know that I've ever looked at covers.com. I just got on 5dimes this morning and the games I listed on the previous page were the ones that jumped out at me.

Sounds like Johnny Football should have a big day.

Yes they do, but with Garrett Gilbert at QB

Baylor was ahead of them 45-3 late in the 3rd in Week 1, and won 59-24.

SMU beat Stephen F. Austin (a middle of the pack FCS team) 52-0. SFA gained something like 460 yds of offense, but turned the ball over 10 times. 10! And I think SMU had 3 defensive TDs in the game.

So yeah, I would go with A&M -13.5, not to mention LY A&M was favored by 15.5 and won the game 46-14.

I usually bet against Ole Miss just so when they do lose at least I make money. But i honestly feel like we can pull the upset and im not touching it.

Our team is hungry and playing confident.

Texas plans on trying to run the ball on us and wearing us down, their QB is more of a runner than a passer and i live here in TX and people on the radio still arent sold on him.

The feel that they will shut our O down with their D and win a lower scoring game.

Our weakness is pass D and we are pretty strong on RUn D. UTEP rushed for 5.8 yards per carry against OU and only 1.4 YPC against us.

We lead the SEC in many Offensive categories and as long as we play well and dont give up stupid mistakes i think we take this game.

BUT then again i am an Ole Miss fan and seeing all the good in everything. So do what you want im just personally not touching it like i normally do Ole Miss

DovaVol I backed SMU against Baylor and paid for it. Gilbert was pretty bad and their defense was awful. They blew SFA out the water last week but the score was...we'll just say...deceptive. I recommend checking the box score, or if you check my previous posts in the thread I think we mentioned it.

I'm on A&M this week.

Almost 80% of the $$$ is coming in on Texas. Thinking about going Ole miss if the line goes up.

I took Ole Miss thinking it would be low scoring. Texas has started slow in both games. If Ole Miss can hang with them in the first half and score 13-17 in the game I believe they will cover.
