rivarly game and M Brown needs (big) win. Is vegas trying to fool us here with 35.5? That is alot of chalk but A&M defense is defenseless. Their O can score but I see Texas 52, A&M 10. What say ye?

I don't recommend laying 35 against anyone. It's like taking a -250 money line in baseball

I'm still reeling from the GB beat down on MNF so I might not be the best barometer right now. However, personally I'm never playing a game with a high spread like this. Much easier games to handicap on the card.

Just giving a Texas Homo insight here. Texas A&M is horrible. 12th man? What, where, when did the 12th man go? I got burned couple weeks ago when they played against a one player Baylor team. I cannot imagine what a full team of loaded players will do to them. -35 is a large line, but TX will have that by the end of the first quarter. I'm thinking maybe Texas 61 A&M 13. Only hopes that A&M has is if they marked this game on their calender from the start of the season. Maybe they have only been playing their second string all year? And they decide to come and play on a Thursday night game. I highly doubt this though. Cash is right in taking a chance on a large line. Play it small and look forward to this tight line weekend.

This should make you feel better cash. Have you guys been playing the ESPN streak for cash to win a million dollars? If you haven't, the rules are to make 25 SU picks in a row and you win a million bucks. So this guy is at 24 straight going into Monday night and wait for it...................... picks Green Bay on the road to beat New Orleans!! He just threw away a million bucks. How much did you loose Cash?

I saw that. There was an article on another gambling forum I read that listed out ways he could successfully hedge his $1,000,000. Hopefully he took their advice.

Unfortunately, I was unable to hedge so I lost it all.

A&M scored 28 vs OU including 14 in second quarter when theoretically it was still a game. Texas has the 110th best, so 9 from worst, pass defense in the country, while A&M has 25th best pass offense. (Even discounting that these are just stats it is still noteworthy.) I am not sure why the thought is that A&M will score only 10 to 13 points. I would be very careful giving 35+ here. I would be more inclined to look at the over, even at 68.5 because I do agree with the more balanced offense attack that Texas does hang a 50 spot or more on A&M, especially considering a: the revenge factor of two straight losses, b: style points to stay ahead of OU.

Pod is a Texas man and he knows these 2 teams to the bone. Good call on this game it was over and the spread covered before they even stepped the field. A&M is not the same team as year's past. They used to be good like 2 years ago, but obvious changes to this team has put them in a downward spiral.
