It doesn't work that way..... not that easy. 

OU is on the big boy level..... you can line them up against any SEC team/FSU..... TCU? nope.

After watching last weeks game Ford is no longer the premier back and will share a lot of time from now on.

TCU's defensive stats are pretty gaudy ranking #2 in NCAA in total defense.  But this came against Samford, Minnesota, and SMU.  Not sure we know much about them based on this. 

Some history of OU in a trap game before playing Texas in Dallas. Last year at home they struggled to a 20-17 win over a 4-8 TCU team and then lost to a bad Texas score the next week.  2010 they nearly lost 31-29 to a 4-8 Cincinnati team and then squeaked by a bad Texas team 28-20 the next week.  2007 they lost 24-27 to a 6-7 Colorado team and won the next week 28-20 against a really good Texas team.

Bookmakers already taken the trap scenario into account with a TCu +5 line.  Struggling to see the value or the scenario.

I have a hard time buying into a trap scenario when OU is coming off a bye.  They should be focused on what's in front of them (TCU).

Putting a #4 next to their name isn't recognition enough for you? I think them being one of the best teams in the country isn't being disputed by anyone. Bold statement however saying Oklahoma is better than everyone's perception of them. Their defense is not infallible as you saw last week. Still think the line for tcu is strong and don't know why anyone would lay the chalk in this spot. It's the best spot you will find to bet against them all season. And don't tell me Texas is a better spot

OU quarterback from last year is a TE now. They have a legit guy slinging the rock around it can be close for a half but 3rd quarter OU pulls away just too much firepower. 

OU-41
TCU-17

no way...OU wins, OU covers...2013 season record - TCU 4-8...I don't see them covering a less than a TD spread against a focused OU team coming off a bye...

TCU has that defensive ranking handling 3 crap teams (including SMU probably the worst team there is). Don't value it too much. 
OU always manages to choke at some point. 
The TX look ahead is normally a factor too. Good point. 

Think the main issue here is that TCU is taking huge step up in competition this week. OU looks legit. Think they take care of business here. 35-21

Just got my tickets yesterday...WooHoo!!

I understand alot of people put the "look ahead" label on this game with Texas on deck..

Look, OU has had 2 weeks to prepare for this game...Trust me, Stoops has BIG respect for Patterson...Hes not letting his team look past this game...And, its not like the Red River game is super hyped this year with Texas struggling with rebuilding...Last years there were questions about QB,Defense, O-line...Those are all settled now...

Look for OU to pound the running game while sprinkling in some play action...The Defense has too much speed on the outside and will give Boykin fits ALL DAY!!

Sooners 31-17

TCU lost by a combined 10 points the past two years, what makes all of you think they're going to lose by 3 TDs this year? Too much OU Koolaid here.

Sooners roll. TCU can't block the front seven of OU. The o-line and d-line wins games. OU in a rout.

Yep, I was wrong.  I'm not very often when it comes to the OU games I bet, but I was wrong on this one.

Going to go out on a limb and say TCU doesn't play a better game the rest of the season though.
