Kansas State +7 against Texas.

It's as much as +9 on some books.

Wait, did I read that right? KState is getting 7 points against Texas? Man, that is as good as printed money.

wait, WTF????

I'm a Texas fan, but that's EASY MONEY. Does Vegas know something we don't? Texas is without 85% of their offense in this game, and we all saw how that worked out last week.

In the immortal words of Vince Lombardi........WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON AROUND HERE????

Yea, I don't know what the deal is. I was just looking in the newspaper today actually and saw the line at +9 and I was like :eek2:

I've got it at +7 in my book though.

I mean, I could see Texas winning this game, but I can't see it being by 2 scores

If we don't have Joe Bergeron or Malcolm Brown playing the entire game at RB, we don't stand a chance.

Right now we're down to our 4th string RB, and 3rd/4th string WRs. To go with a true freshman QB.

Unless KState shits the bed, I don't see a win unless our D pitches a shutout.

That was my first thought too. What the hell does Vegas know that we don't??? LOL.

wow how the mighty have fallen.... When Texas fans say they don't stand a chance against KSU.

Tell you what.....you lose Darron Thomas, both starting WRs, your top 3 rushers, and have to start a true frosh at QB, and tell me Oregon is going to go out and beat a ranked team......and we'll all laugh at you.

Why would I do that? I do thank you for putting Oregon on the same level as Texas though.

I think you get my point. You aren't going to win many games with 4th stringers starting at key positions. Add that to the fact Texas has 25 freshmen in their normal rotations on both sides of the ball.......

I'll say this though. Texas and Oregon are going to be a problem for a lot of teams next year.

Man, I looked at my site and it not only has Texas as the favorite at -7, but no projections show KState winning. Something isn't right here.


Oh yeah, and A&M is -30 over Kansas. I have no doubt we can beat Kansas, but not sure with our second half defense that we can beat anyone by 30 points anymore.

We only beat Baylor by 27 :) I just like saying THAT.

LOL!

I think every rational Texas fan knew this was a rebuilding year......all I ever wanted was to see improvement from week to week. Not quite the same with Aggies.......your fanbase expects wins with nothing backing that up but moral victories

OK, maybe we're looking at this spread the wrong way. Maybe Colin Klein isn't playing for KState?

We know who Texas won't be playing......maybe Vegas thinks Klein won't be playing? He's been taking a ton of hits the last 3 weeks......any other theories?

Sounds like he will play. Looks like LAS is counting on Texas to win because they are good at home. 4-1 with only loss to OKSt.

Still a head scratcher.

What good team has K-State beat? They barely got by Baylor at home, and they're a one man team.
