Who thinks the win total for Baylor at O/U 5.5 is too high?

The line may go to O/U 6 since Over 5.5 is -150...And six would be VERY dicey OVER Imo.

Just shooting from the hip here?

Let's give them 3-1 to start the year:

vs. Abiline Christian 

@ UTEP

Vs. Duke

vs. Kansas

Anyone give them 4-0?

I give them 3-1. So you need 3 wins to win the bet.

Where are those 3 wins coming from? Here is the remaining in conference schedule:

@ OK

vs. K STate

@ Texas

@ WVU

vs OK State

@ Iowa State

vs. TCU

vs. Texas Tech

Does anyone have them going 3-5 with that schedule? I don't. And if this line gets to 6 it will have to be 4-4 which is even a taller order.

Feel free to chime in!

CORRECTION: Second game is @ UTSA

Yeah, I don't get this total at all. Should be double-digit dogs in more FBS games than they're favored in. Probably would've taken the Under at -110; getting it at +130 is a no-brainer.

They will be VASTLY improved in yr 2 under Rhule.  No question about that 

Vastly improved would be 4 wins or even 5 wins given they had one last year Step! And this total still goes under  even at those totals!

Baylor QB is an absolute stud.  They were in a lot of games last year, including OU. Their record didn't reflect their team.  I think they could win 7 games....mark that down. Rhule is no slouch

Rhule is a defense first coach. He said he took the Baylor job because god told him too. I couldn't believe it. He needs to take a 1 win team to 7 wins.. That's a VERY tall order

I think they start 4-0, beat K-State at home. TCU is going to have a down year, so they could beat them at home and I think they beat Texas Tech. 6 or 7 wins right there. 

i wouldn't... the coach turned around  temple fast..they have enough area talent....why risk a coin toss season bet.. 

they played better than their record suggests.almost won a few of those...I'd be leaning the other way..gl scal

Line looks like it will settle at 6 as the juice is too high on 5.5. I'll give you the 4-0. That is the absolute best case scenario.

Then you need THREE wins over K State/@ ISU/TCU/Texas Tech. The other games are not winnable. 

You think you are going 3-1 over this bunch right here? That is a VERY tall order.

I can't stress this enough: Rhule is a DEFENSE first coach. I watched him at Temple for YEARS. He won 2 and then won SIX. And that was in a MUCH weaker conference. This is an offense first team with very poor recruiting due to the sex scandal.

I can't believe several guys here think 7 wins is probable! 

I have them 5-7 or 6-6 ....

Not sure i would bet on this one
