Texas ML +210 over Cal

Question

Bama -6 is the bet of the week, but this is a game no one is talking about

Line itself is a joke. If this were the first game of the year Texas would be -3.5 at least. Cal is now favored as some legit top 15 team by 7 on the road when they've done nothing except beat 2 trash teams at home. Yet Cal -7 is one of the top public plays of the week fukken LMAO

Texas will use AD firing to rally behind Strong and get the win.

This is a classic fading of public perception in a strong situational spot.

Too bad Texas has such a pathetic offense and suspect D. Very lucky to beat a very weak Rice team with turnovers. How are they going to outscore a very potent Cal O with probably the top NFL QB prospect in Goff? Cal 35-17.

Heard at QB shows promise and should be improved in 2nd week. Cal's pass D last season? 128th. Dead last. Texas will put points on the board.

Texas pass D last year was 11th. They will be closer to that caliber vs. what we've seen

I would be nervous about taking Texas,those were last season stats.

In the 1st 2 games this year against ND and Rice Texas has allowed 547 yds passing. Against ND they had 8 1st Downs giving up 30,and 11 vs Rice giving up 30. Rice turned the ball over 5 times in that loss otherwise they outplayed Texas. Now Cal comes in scoring 108 pts in 2 games giving up just 21,with a pass def that has allowed 343 total yds . Now true Cal has only played Grambling St and SD St but I think there are better games out there than banking on Texas in this one

Good luck this week

Texas was -10 before the season started in GOY lines.

I&#x27;m a Texas alum and big time homer, but from what I&#x27;ve seen in the first two games (I was at the Rice game), no way in hell Texas wins this game. Hope I&#x27;m wrong though.

Cal in a runaway 42-20

This is going to sound really stupid, but I see this game going one of two ways.

Texas wins a tight contest or Cal blows them out.

As a Texas fan, I hope it's the first option. Heard brings a new dynamic to the Texas offense and truthfully the defense struggled with running QB's. Goff is not a runner and they should be able to get to him.

Texas loads of money to get a Saban, Maybe getting rid of this AD was a precondition, as he was a freak out type...?

I dont trust CAL on the road.....Texas a good play. They nearly beat UCLA last year or year before, so they will have a good game plan

LockPickMonster · Answer

Texas is an absolute liability in the secondary and were out gained in OFFENSE against RICE by almost double. Cal doesn&#x27;t have a stellar defense but they&#x27;ve improved. They have a NFL Qb and tons of weapons around him. Haven&#x27;t been to a bowl game since 2011 and Sonny has these boys playing hungry football. They go to Texas and wreck shop. Cal 52-21

MasterMG · Answer

no matter the sport, teams always step up a level after a firing. will be interesting to see what happens. pass on this one is the best play

that&#x27;s big moxie talk...have actually watched the Texas games?   sure, there may be an over reaction.  Cal was a bottom 5 team in 2013.    they may be a bit over hyped, but they are not terrible.Texas will have to play a good game to cover and win.  the variation of outcomes of this game could be any where from a Texas 10 point win to a Cal 20 point win and anything in between.   it is a big no play for me.   I would encourage everyone to avoid this game.  there are better options on the board...

LonghornHoosier · Answer

that&#x27;s just pure delusion.   not going to happen...

Play the over on Cal all season you will win more than you lose.

JFen31 · Answer

The line prior to the season was Texas -10.

Two weeks into the season, the line is Cal -6.

If you want to give away 16 points on the line, be my guest, but this doesn't seem like a strong long-term strategy.

And I know, I know. "You didn't know Texas would be this bad." Fine, but the opportunity existed a few weeks ago to catch Cal as a double-digit dog. Now, for the same price, you need them to win by a touchdown.

No thanks.

Your comment is what makes handicapping so dangerous and difficult.1.  A bettor&#x27;s memory is only as good as the last game.2.  No team is as bad or as good as you think they are.Good luck.

BarrelledIn · Answer

Thanks to those pointing out GOY line  Didn&#x27;t see it when I searched for it Texas -10 to &#x2B;7 just lmao

BarrelledIn · Answer

Down to &#x2B;4.5 and &#x2B;175 at some places All the detractors, post up your Cal -260 ticket you made earlier in the week. Oh wait Texas ML is a horrible play yet you won&#x27;t lay juice with Cal why? Cause you intuitively know the line is wrong and there is huge value on Texas, though you will not admit it

Relax_Dude · Answer

Strong is on the hot seat with every CAL TD....
