I'm a better and I have it at Texas Tech -9.5 at SMU O/U 56.5.

Nice, Ponies!

TCU -21.5 vs. Baylor No O/U

I'd say you have the cool, SMU!

My bet from June: Cover the spread and take the over.

I wonder what the odds are on the Ponies winning outright?

I am a bit surprised that TTU has a very potent offense and we have big gaps to fill on Defense and the spread is less than two TDs.

I was thinking around 20, but we do play better at home. Still think it will end up over 14.

I'd say that's easy money but every time I think an SMU spread is obvious I am wrong...

It will be harder to hit the over considering half of the starters will be keeled over by the third quarter.

3 TDs for the Frogs against BU seems high, even at FW. TCU beat TT by 3 last year in FW and barely beat BU in Waco, true?

-10 for the Ponies seems low but it's at home and SMU finished quite strong last year.

They beat TT 12-3 last year.

Take the under-Tech's offense seems to sputter in the first game. New red raider receivers might have adjustment period.

BU -TCU

Give me the Bears to cover the spread. TCU has a new QB and Baylor is improving. Didn't Baylor coach play for the toads too? Whatever the under is take it too.

I do think the frogs will play Texas close though.
