re: Why is the UT/OU line only at OU -2 right now? Is this a clever Vegas trap?

Exactly! You guys could've run 1 stretch play all day and still won the game.

BTW, BG's run defense was ranked 12 in the country last year, not exactly a pushover.


Huh? NCAA stats website shows BG finished last year ranked 99th in rushing defense and 11th in the MAC giving up 202.1 yds per game.

Any number off of nominal is significant when it comes to ATS. Vegas is really damn good at what they do. Specifically the away team favored by 1-3 covering 57.2% of the time. And the 61.2% is pretty big too, considering you could have gotten on this line at OU+1, and it's probably not finished moving.


You could make your case if the numbers were all over. But all 3 trends favor the same team. You take your noise, I'll take my statistics.

I would bet OU or not bet it at all.

I got hosed last year in Vegas betting on UT against Ole Miss. Ole Miss was a 16.5 point favorite and covered easily.

I'm tired of waiting for Tennessee to "be back". I wouldn't wager a single penny on that team until they actually do something.

Nice info.
