****Week 8 *****ESPN Gameday in Columbia, Missouri......OU -3 just doesnt sound right at all........

Oops, should have waited for 47. Good luck on the rest of your picks.

Just like Texas last week you have to ask yourself when do you get a chance to get such a low line on a top 5 historically quality team (in Texas at Nebraska it was 9.5 pts).  When OU played Mizzou a couple of years ago with Chase Daniels the line was 14 or so I believe and everyone was on Mizzou cause they were ranked high.  The game was over at halftime, not even a contest with Daniels tacking on some meaningless TDs at the end of the game.

Think the oddsmakers were protecting against the sharp money (based on value) taking Mizzou at 7 to 10 points ala Ohio State last week when the line came out 6 and dropped to 3.5 or 4 (and Bama the week before).  Those were significant moves across important numbers (6, 4.5, 5, and 3.5) meaning big money moving to the dogs.  This line hasn't moved.  I think this line will get a lot more money played on Missouri with people thinking upset (note I said money, not picks).  Had the line been in the 7 - 10 range I would have been on Missouri based on value, now it doesn't look attractive).

Mizzou is good and OU can certainly be beat but I have to go with history here (OU owns Mizzou).  Think Stoops watched Oregon run it up against UCLA?

Personally I wouldn't bet this one as more value on other games, but if I had to I'd put my money on OU.  If you want an upset, try Northwestern as that line is moving (opened 7.5 now 5.5 moving across 7, 6.5, and 6)...that is a money trail.

Interesting week though, Texas beating Nebraska kind of showed something.  Maybe Texas isn't that bad, Nebraska is still good, and OU is better than you think.  That's one scenario anyway, we'll find out this weekend.

Also I know people will be saying line move shine move but when people are calling for the upset and the line moves then it becomes significant.

Blaine Gabbert will get the job done and make all of Parkway West High and Mizzou fans across the country happy after he dismantles a susceptible OU defense tomorrow night.

Mizzou ML

Mizzou +3 or the best number I can get tomorrow.

No, I didn't play football. But I do recall the football game you mention.

If OU is smart, they will rush 3 maybe four at the most and drop 8.  Gabbert will not know what to do when his first option is gone and then will get nervous quickly.

Demarco Murray should be able to run at will on this Mizz defense.

I will be secretly rooting for Mizzou.  The party after we beat OU in 1998 was unforgettable. Seriously, they could have made a movie out of that night we had.

However my bankroll is important to me too so my kids can have a nice Christmas. :)

1 Unit  OU -3.    There were better plays against Mizz this year (i.e. SD St, Illinois, T&m (loss)) therefore just a 1 unit play.

GL with the rest of your picks this week. You may want to reconsider TTech. CU gets it done this week.  Like the rest.

Cheers.

Whats up gh? I will simply not bet this game as I'm too conflicted. I dont want to cheer against mizzou and I dont think I can bet on them at that short number.....

I like TT simply because they will have the best qb on the field. Colorado had played mizzou and baylor and both controlled the game. Its mainly a fade of Dan Hawkins

enjoy the game bro!!!!

Best night in Mizzou Football History!
