First half only.

[cut and paste] All of the ignorant replies from the @KSU betting line thread [/cut and paste]

Insane. Me betting on TCU and the money line would insure a Texas victory.

What is that betting app where I can bet a grand and if I lose it I don’t have to pay it?

Always take the under.

So TCU is a 4th team and we are a first half team. Should be fun. 6 points in 4 qtrs the last 2 half’s of football lol

I put $30 on KSt +2.5.  Paying $30 for the Texas win was worth it.

May have to up this week to $50 on TCU +6.5.  Texas beating them by a TD would be worth it.

Crowd shows up like it did for Bama, and I think we cover. 

 

 

We score points in the second half at home. TCU's defense is also not great. Gotta watch out for cheap shots on Quinn though. If our OL lets Quinn get hit, they need to be taken to the woodshed.

If we get up big again, and PK plays his preferred death by a thousand cuts defense, our offense SHOULD be able to put up more points at home and keep the game out of reach.

Game day still hasn’t announced where they are going. I think if game day comes it’ll help make the crowd even better.

I strongly suspected we were going to get a line like this. The computers absolutely love Texas and we are at home. People pay attention to rankings and let that influence their perception of what a gambling line is going to be but that’s not how it works, obviously. 
Texas should be favored by a TD 

anyone with any sense shouldn’t trust Texas at all. 

I will be betting against Texas this week like I did last week, and hoping I lose bc we roll by 35 and look like a rolling ball of butcher knives. 
 

We are the better team. We should win. I don’t trust us yet.

Maybe we beat them by -6.5 points

Everyone said the same thing when KState was a pick ‘em. 

I don't think they're gonna beat us at DKR, but I wouldn't give those points.  There are an awful lot of ways we can win that game and lose that bet.

Interestingly, ESPN Matchup Predictor has Texas 73% chance to win.

I'm not sure why everyone is so surprised. The computers LOVE us. We have some big wins and lost 3 extremely close games, 2 with a backup QB. Yes, TCU is a good team, but they've also been extremely fortunate with injuries to opponent's QBs. If you want to load up on TCU +6.5, then do it but I wouldn't touch that shit.

Is that predictor worth a shit?  I’ve never seen it’s accuracy rate.

If by that you mean they are successfully knocking out their opponents' starting QBs (some of which might be questionable plays), then yes.

Maybe they figure Texas fans are a bunch of suckers who will jump on that line.

I think so, it correctly predicted Texas to win at K-St.

Does it matter?  We'll make his back-up look like Randy Moss.

Recurring ankle injury, my guess is he will give it a go but every play is roll of dice.

Some folks in College Station have this same question.

I always assumed it was Stanford Steve and the Bear running that thing and never paid it any mind.

parcells. 

let's examine the record of roach.

colorado & tarleton state, whatever, 2-0

@ponies, iron skillet, 8-pt win, legit, 3-0

thieves by 31, just as legit as our result, 4-0

@toucan sam, won by 7, very legit, 5-0

oSu, 3 points, same game pattern, our result looks better given the penalties and non-0u-ewers, 6-0

kstate by 10, didn't see it, so don't know if the game pattern was similar, although the result was exactly the same, 7-0

@wv by 10, our result looks much better, 8-0

tceh by 10, this one feels like a tossup, 9=0

++++

in our favor: our score in the wv game and the fact that we played bama as our marquee ooc and they played for the skillet

so the differences between 6-3 and 9-0 are bama, oSu and tceh, all of which were lost by a combined 11 points.

++++

using parcells and the ferengi rules of acquisition, i started off this post working towards a conclusion of "we should not win convincingly" and i arrived at "this should be a convincingly close game".

Those 4 qtrs were on the road. Very happy to be at home for this one. Team plays different at DKR.

I figured we’d be favored, but not by nearly this much. TCU is a 6-2 team with an easy schedule parading around at 8-0. 

Edited by Burt Macklin

Agree. They don’t have a win that you look at and impressed by but they’ve managed to win the games we couldn’t hold onto. I think we end their streak. 

third eye blind AND gameday?! texas by 750!
Semicharmed kind of life..

If Johnston trots a couple yards past the first-down marker and stands between the hash marks, he can all but eliminate the chance of heavy contact.
