Seems fair at this point and much improved over previous lines against TTU.

I would think the best bet in this game would not be to pick either team with points but to bet the over. As I said before, first team to 49 wins.

It means if you bet on tech, they have to win by more than 13 points for you to win the bet. Think of it as SMU starting out with a 13 - 0 lead.

finally.....someone has taken pity on me. thanks, Treadway.

so....I believe, that is exactly (or, very similar to) the scenario that we faced against Nevada, no?
I feel good already.
