Sounds about right. We've won both our bowl games as underdogs.

I'll take it. We usually win by 20+ when we are huge underdogs (to non-bcs schools). It is the opposite when we are favored.

Like all early lines, I expect this to move. 3 weeks is a lot of time for the money to come in.

Everything I'm reading is suggesting we don't have a chance that Fresno will blow us out and that we don't even belong on the same field as them.

Don't they know that our coach is June Jones...... 8)
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

It does but we need Fresno to have a few suspensions then we'll be good to go.
