Horns favored by 7 over KSU

[Embrey]

Browsing the paper this morning and I saw the line.  I find this pretty encouraging.  It definitely tells me the bookmakers do not expect KSU to have much success against the Texas defense.

Wow that’s actually surprising to me. Vegas starting to believe in Herman

Let's pump the brakes guys, we were double digit favorites for the Maryland game if I'm not mistaken...

I don't like this.  I want the Horns to be underdogs in every game left (except Baylor and Kansas).  I want them to play with that "bunker" mentality they're keep talking about.

Has nothing to do with the Vegas smart guys predicting the final score. They're just setting the line hoping to draw 50% of the money each way.

I wouldn't bet on it. K St has owned UT.

I wouldn't bet on it. K St has owned UT.

Over the past 4 years, the teams have split with each winning at home with KSU having outscored Texas by 2 points total. 

KSU did win the previous 5 games in the series.

Surprised more people don't understand this. 

That being said, KSU is pretty comparable to ISU.

2016  Loss  21  - 24
2015  Win   23 - 9
2014   Loss   0 - 23
2013   Win   31 - 21

Last four years:  2-2  75-77

How exactly is that owning UT.  Come on Man!

We win it in defensive battle.

NTG, you beat me to it.  No point going back further than 4 years.  Rosters are so different at that point.  In our case coaches too.

Yes and no.  The opening line is a function of their analysis of the game.  Thereafter, the point spread is adjusted in attempt to balance the money.

2 wins out of the last 9 looks like ownership to me. What if that were aggy?

So you are saying the games from prior to 2013 is a direct refection of the upcoming contest?  Doesnt mean anything on this upcoming game.  The last 4 years I can somewhat understand with diminishing returns for each year earlier.

We split 2-2 in the worst 4 year stretch in our schools history.  Thats hardly owning us.  That is just silly.

Im gonna nickname you Eeyore.  You seem so negative in every post I see.  Cheer up Buttercup!
 

 

[Rotty22]

our defense has definitely improved in the last 2 games.  with a patchwork of an Oline, i hope our offense can puts some points on the board.  i'll be in my season ticket seat cheering them on.

I know it doesn't help much right now but that OL is young and going to be around for a while. Big things in at least 2 years from this OL.

K-State owns UT when playing at home*

Nickelson is flat out a liability when he pass blocks... you would think Urquidez could beat him out now that he's had over two semesters in the strength program and was a 4 star recruit.

Gamblers have moved the line from Texas -7 to Texas -4.  That is a huge move in such a short period of time.  If anybody can find the O/U I would like to know what it is.  It has to be low, right?
