i am a rookie at this and have been getting GREAT insight from you and some of the other veteran cappers. thx

 

sometimes if i feel strong about a play and you are on other side i stay away hands down or at least really really look it over as is the case this week with kansas/ oklahoma. At first this one jumped out at me with oklahoma -6.5 with or without Bradford(who i think is fine). Now i see you on kansas and im pretty sure (99.2%) that i am wrong and you are right.

if you get a minute can you please give some insight as to deter the .8% chance on oklahoma

greatly appreciated

I never try to talk anyone out of a play, what you bet is totally up to you, however I will share my opinion of the game

a few things in the OU/KU game I looked at before making a play

obviously both teams lost last week

KU was in a prime lookahead spot against a bad Colorado team and was caught off guard by the QB change, the KU defense is already questionable at best and their offense just couldn't get them over the hump in the game

OU is coming away from a physical smash mouth type of game with their hated rival Texas, they have 3 losses on the season, they are without their Heisman QB and their stud TE, I don't think they care near as much about playing KU as KU does about playing them

KU hasn't hosted OU since like 2005 if I remember correctly and the atmosphere at the game will be a great one, this game is a big deal to the KU program and Mangino

OU is lacking the quality playmakers that they generally have, not to mention they have some of the worst WR's in recent memory, those guys have zero hands

KU has the QB advantage, I would probably give a slight edge in coaching to Mangino (could be a toss up though for arguments sake), KU has the homefield advantage

when I have the homefield advantage, the QB advantage and the coaching advantage and I'm getting over a touchdown with the home dog then I like my chances, especially when the game means as much as it will to a program like Kansas

just the opinion of a less than 50% handicapper
