    I find that the oddsmakers lines are off more then they are right. Just look at last night's game? Miami U -2??!!
     
    Oddsmakers are nothing but mathematical robots. A good handicapper will always see value beyond the published lines.
     
    With that said, if OU happens to win by 21 points, i'll just call it a mathematical coincidence. Or OU just gave Tulsa easy points in the 4th Quarter when they're already up by 35-plus points.

    Just my point. If you cap the game right, the points don't even matter. Congrats to Over and Oklahoma bettors. Not much sweating in this one as the line wasn't even close.

    But of course, the books couldn't have released a line like:

    Oklahoma -35      Under/Over 75

    Could they? Would they?

    The answer would be no.

    Oddsmakers are nothing but mathematical robots. A good handicapper will always see value beyond the published lines.
     
    With that said, if OU happens to win by 21 points, i'll just call it a mathematical coincidence. Or OU just gave Tulsa easy points in the 4th Quarter when they're already up by 35-plus points.

     

    Just my point. If you cap the game right, the points don't even matter. Congrats to Over and Oklahoma bettors. Not much sweating in this one as the line wasn't even close.

    But of course, the books couldn't have released a line like:

    Oklahoma -35      Under/Over 75

    Could they? Would they?

    The answer would be no.
