Oklahoma +14 1/2 vs Baylor

[Phantom]

Am I seeing this right? I'm a little surprised. I'll take OU + 14 1/2 against an unproven Baylor any day. May lose, but sure does look good on paper.

 

[sakau2007]

i hit it hard. it probably wont win.

 

[TexasMan]

I'm seein +15 to 15.5 in some places.

 

[GoldRusher]

You never know but OU squeaked by us in Norman and Baylor could have EASILY scored 100+ on us at their place but called of the dogs in the 2nd quarter. If OU goes stale for a quarter or two like they did vs Texas, Baylor will crush them by 30+ imo.

Cant wait to see this one.

i think Baylor is the better team. I cant see OU stopping that offense, especially wiht all the injuries. I wanted to take Baylor and the pts, but this is far more than I expected. This might be the disrespect OU needed to get up for this game.

and some of their comments:

"Baylor has the potential to destroy us. They certainly do. As long as we keep within 3 tds I dont think we have anything to complain about, but we all know Baylor has the ability to beat us by 30 or 40. They have the ability to humiliate us."

"As long as we dont lose by more then 3 TDs people shouldnt be able to complain. Baylor fans are not talking about beating us they are talking by how much they need to beat us by, and rightly so."

"Baylor favored by 2 TDs? Yep, more likely 3 TD's"

"Baylor by 25+ ...goin be ugly"

"They could very well hang a 1/2 a 100 on us."

"Baylor's offense is excellent, and we'll need to play a near perfect game to stop it"

"we cant fall behind, as long as we don't fall behind early we will have a real shot to win"

"If we are down by 3 points by half time, we might have a chance. If we are down by 2 touch down, we are doom."

"I think we've got to score at least 40 to win."

BAYLOR is really good at home.

They stink on the road.
In the last 6 season since 2008, this is their conference road wins:
Missouri (8-5), Texas (5-7), Colorado (5-7), Kansas (2-10), (2-6), Kansas State (4-4)

But, they simply don't even get challenged at home anymore.

Baylor at home is the closest thing to sure thing anymore.

The only other time Stoops was this big of an underdog was vs Fsu in 2000 and he won straight up. He always plays best as an underdog. OU has althetes Baylor has even come close to seeing this year. If OU can run the ball and control the clock they will be fine. This game reminds of the OU/texas game going into it. Nobody thought texas was going to win as a double digit underdog right?

"Baylor by 14.5 is a sure bet if i have ever seen one. Don't see any reason not to give the points with our offense the way they bumble through games."

"picked baylor 12 days ago to win by 3+ TD's.......if I were a betting man, I'd take Baylor giving the points.....just think the game setting in Waco plus the pressure on the officials by the league office to favor the Bears plus enough Sooner mistakes plus an inconsistant offensive performance = a victory for Baylor...........The Bears have had an injury-free year ( like OU in 2000) and it seems to be their time in the spotlight....all said, I'll stiick with 52-27 in favor of Baylor.......................and gladly apologize if the Sooners win!!!!!!"

"OU has a big mountain to climb and in front of a national audience."

"What has the world come to?? Who ever though baylor, yes baylor would one day be 14 point favorites over OU. In a way, we did this. We brought the spread air raid to the leauge. Now we face the monster we created."

"Kind of funny how, in a couple of years, we went from Baylor winning its first game ever against OU, to Baylor being favored by 14!"

"This is really uncharted territory. The last time I went into an OU game fearing a major blowout I guess would have to be the '97 NU game? I'm hoping some Baylor fans can give me some insight into how to handle the impending doom. After all, they've had a lot of experience getting beat down. Should we start drinking prior to kickoff?"

"That's my plan! Hoping for the best but have laid in extra brews to numb the pain if it gets too intense. Might even switch over to White Russians."

"This game will most likely be a shootout, all depends on if OU can keep up score wise."

"OU will not survive a shootout. Only way OU has a chance is if they control the clock and avoid having to get into a shootout."

"The only way we win is if our offense turns in the best performance of the season. We need them to keep Baylor off the field and give our defense a break."

"Baylor will not score 60 points no way, but they will score at least 40 points that much is guaranteed. Now the question becomes can OU score in the 40's to overcome Baylor? The answer is yes but the OU offense like you said has to execute at an extremely high level."

"I know Baylor has not played anyone but they look to be the better team. I will have to go with Baylor by 17."

"I can only hope that the upcoming loss to the Baylor Bears on the national stage makes OU a better program in the long run.....the loss will suck, but I hope it opens some eyes in Norman. the offensive side of the OU coaching staff should take notes when the OU defense is on the field against the Bear offense....hate to say it, but in my opinion, this one is a blow-out loss for OU. No way the Oklahoma offense keeps pace with the Baylor offense. but OU may not face a tougher test the rest of the way.....might lose another game, but won't face another team like Baylor. hope I am 100% wrong.....but from I have seen from OU and what Baylor has done to other teams, this one is a mis-match."

"I hope we don't get blown out, but even the optimistic folks are talking in terms of us winning due to multiple factors that need to happen together to undercut Baylor. This should be a wake-up for somebody - we are talking about needing to dominate the turnovers, significantly shorten the game, hope Mike Stoop's defensive can minimize damage, and wish for us to convert a high percentage of 3rd downs in order to have a chance against BAYLOR. Yes, they are good now, but this is still pretty tough to stomach for folks who have been fans for 40+ years."

One of the best thursdays I can remember

Wait a minute -- I was under the impression that OU won the RRSO this year, since y'all keep saying "well if we would of(sic) done this and this, we would of(sic) won! So we actually did win!"

 

[NDHoosier101]

That's a crazy line, OU is going to beat Baylor.

This is interesting. As a longtime Orangeblood, I would love nothing more than to watch Baylor r*pe the Sooners mercilessly and drop 60 +, but OU +14 1/2, as a gambling man, that is just too good to pass up and not take the Sooners to cover. Remember now, I believe we were +13 or 14 going into the RRSO and Texas face fucked the Land Thieves with ease. The question is, is Baylor for real?

 

[Pariah]

I'm guessing it will be an ugly loss for OU, or an ugly win.

Book it.

 

[Inquisitor95]

If OU can run their offense well enough to keep Baylor's off the field, they should beat the spread.

Might even win the game if the defense can keep them out of the end zone enough.

Grantland.com: "We're not even joking, we could probably run for 200 yards on Oklahoma ourselves after watching that"


Oklahoma fans:

I wanna kick our ass after watching that.

whoever put that together did a great job

That was a really good hype video. Got me hyped, and then I remembered I don't even care about them.

I'd run this video in the OU locker room after warm ups, right before we take the field.

Anyone send this to the players yet? Possible motivational video??

newest Baylor fan hype video… this one is better IMO

Fine time for "Big Game" Bob Stupid to make a statement here.

I always did like running with the dawgs.

OU SUP in an upset.

[Shanemansj13]

Oklahoma wins or Baylor crushes.

So IMO I would take ML Okie or go big on Baylor -15 or whatever
