87. Eighty seven. EIGHTY SEVEN!!!! Think about that number. To achieve this rate, both these teams have to acheive three combined touchdowns per quarter and that's only giving you 84 points! That also means that they have to squeeze in a fg here and there. So that essentially means that every drive, HAS TOend in a td and these drives have to be no more than 5 minutes. No picks. No punts. No drives where they DON'T score. That's asking A LOT. You also have to factor in that West Virginia also has decent defense and after all this high scoring, the winning team may turn on "defensive" mode where they have the lead, they will just run the ball to run out the clock in the 4th quarter. Then again, I/you have to ask yourself, "Well, why the hell did they set the opening number 82-83?" TheSquare being a "square" is gonna take the:
UNDER 86.5
I don't know about you guys but this will either be thee squarest play, picking the under because "nobody can score that many points" or a "sharp play" becaue they set that number high for a reason.
BOL if you tail or fade and the BOTH of us will be on our seats to the last minute because we both know that either scenario can and will occur.

I'm also well aware that with this game total set this high, these are the 2 teams that are capable of acheiving this score in which case, Oklahoma has already in the past. It's just West Virginia's defense that has me doubting the over for this game..

I'm not betting on this but if you are relying on West Virginia's defense for the under then it would be better to take Oklahoma team total under.

Not sure of game total, got a unit on first quarter over 17!! Might play 2nd half, just couldn't pass up that 1st quarter over.
Your response caught my attention and I decided to look at 5dime's 1st quarter odds for this game. It's kinda puzzling and doesn't make sense but here they are:
Oklahoma
W. Virginia

So from these odds, Oklahoma scores over 7-14 points where as W.Virgina just scores maybe a td and no more thereby pushing the first quarter over 19.5?

Line move from 81 —> 88 ?Yeah this one’s hitting 100 EASY. Then again the fix might be in. Look at the New Orleans game last night. How many yards and how many points shaven inside the 10
With last night's Saints game, Vegas made out on the over and additional live over bets because public perception was probably that it was gonna be the same scenario as the KC @ Rams game. Game eventually resulted in an under..
