That doesn’t make any sense 

I predicted we’d open at -4 and end up -6.5. It makes total sense.

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. 

9-0.

Maybe we beat them by -6.5 points

I think we cover. I'm probably more worried about at Kansas right now. 

You should be extremely worried about both. TCU seems like a team perfectly manufactured to rip our hearts out late in the 4th quarter.

The crowd can be a big factor in this game. They have to keep our fragile team's emotions up in the second half.

Texas is favored by 6.5 or 7 to open

Sold my tickets due to a fucking family wedding. (Seriously, fuck anyone who schedules a wedding during football season)

I’m betting the $500 proceeds on TCU.

If TCU wins I get $500
If Texas wins and covers I’ll be so happy I won’t care
If Texas wins and doesn’t cover I’ll be extremely happy

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.

Same. Best money I spent last week

First half Texas cover. Second half TCU cover. As for final score....

Yeah this is the way.  I always bet against the Horns when they are favored.

Outcome 1: Money to offset the annoyance of losing
Outcome 2: Who cares about money
Outcome 3: Double win

You really cannot lose TBH because every scenario carries a win.

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

FPI isn't terrible, but it does factor in things like recruiting rankings and stuff that is pretty irrelevant 9 games into the year.  Not sure how they treat the transfer portal.  But looking back, it has undersold TCU all year and oversold UT, so who knows.

Line is up to 7.5

Please tell me all the money is on TCU, because public dogs have fleas.

If the line is moving in Texas's direction that means more people are betting on Texas to cover, right?

You're right. Knew I messed up as soon as I said it. I meant a reverse line movement. It's not, but I'm hoping. 

Weird.

No, not always or they’d already be retired pros, but it’s not a bad sign.

Get consistent pressure on Doogie, keep their running game in check..collect win over top 5 team.

If this is you emotional hedge, bet the moneyline.  It's presently at +225.  If TCU wins, you get $1125 (plus your original "deposit").  If Texas wins, you'll be happy.  

I thought the line was crazy last week and they covered.

 

So, this line is crazy.

The Tech loss has everyone all fucked in the head.  Everyone had Bama and OkState, on the road, penciled in as losses before the season.

I understand that the books use these computer rankings to set lines, but it is abundantly clear that the computers have massively overrated us this year. 

Any true Texas fan could see the free money in picking TCU to cover the 7.5 spread. They're having a Cinderella season while we've been tripping on our dick half the season.

Next person who posts a model or prediction or win probability graph in a non-mocking way needs to get punched in the face.
