Wait, Undefeated TCU is a 7 1/2 point dog to 6-3 Texas, did I see that right

So if TCU loses, is it considered an upset?

Just doing my Pickems and this game just didn't seem right to me.
Are there injuries I don't know about or something.

Is anyone taking Texas in their picks ??

Classic Vegas suckers' line. Whenever I see the higher ranked team as an underdog I immediately decide vegas is trying to trick me into taking them and do the opposite.

50% of the time, it works every time

Big XII officiating has become as bad as the Pac 10. Last week TCU got the benefit of some calls against Texas Tech that were laughable when the game was still in doubt. So, (a) expect the conference to protect its only candidate for the Playoff and (b) expect one of the schools that is leaving the conference to get royally fucked at some critical times. I'd stick with TCU in this one until I see the conference clean up the officiating and Texas announces it's staying in the Big XII.

yep - that non-existent facemask at the end of the 3rd,
when Tech was up 17-13,
was a massive momentum changer -
fuck the B12 refs -
 
TCU’s lucky to be undefeated right now, all 3 of Texas’ losses have been razor thin, and Texas is at home.

Not really that surprising imo.

Not B12 but did you watch the ND- Clemson game? Two PIs called on ND at the end were completely refs trying to get Clemson back in it. Then DJ threw a pick 6 in the red zone and it was sealed. Even the rules analyst was like "yeah those weren't PI." And they almost never flat out call out the refs bc they are all former refs themselves
 
texas probably wins this one and TCU wins the rematch.

Take the over at 64.

Yeah I’m going to invest some capital in that as well.

TCU has a great offense and the one time I watched their defense it was laughably bad for a half. I don’t believe anything changed.

Every time I see a bet that doesn't make sense to me, I bet the opposite. I am betting the ranch on Texas (if the ranch costs $40).

i'm picking Texas to win but if I were putting my money on it.. just take Texas -4 in the first half.. They always cover.. I'll be sweating the 2nd half when TCU scores it's most points compared to Texas not scoring in the 2nd half

Agreed, Texas struggles in the second half, and that's usually when TCU pulls away in closer games. That's the script I'll be expecting.
 
Yeah. Keep doubting Max (Former Lewis Central Titan) and he'll keep whoopin that ass.

Do you think they cover the 7.5

TCU + 7.5 is easy money.

Texas has had a lot of trouble against them in recent years and only last year broke the losing streak.

I pretty much expect this to be a nail-biter to the end.

Well then that settles it.

But with our ongoing problems finishing games in the second half, I expect it to come down to another one-score victory.

Just hope it's our side on top again.
