I'm not doing any sports gambling these days so I won't post in members picks. I do, however, exchange sports notes via email with a small group of friends and family. some of those homers were predicting an OU blowout. Thought I'd post here a little analysis I wrote on the game in Norman tomorrow, FWIW...bottom line: I like the over...
Tannehill (A & M QB) is pretty good...2322 yards, 18/7 TD/Int ratio. A & M has a very balanced offensive game...295 passing, 224 rushing. Defensively they give up 423 yards a game, most of it through the air, and surrender 27 points a game.
A &M's a pretty good road team this year. They haven't lost a true road game. They lost to Arkansas at Jerry World in a back-to-back 2d-half meltdown. Their other 2 losses are to the pickens' aggies and to Missouri, both at home.
They're coming off that loss to Missouri. Who knows if they still have any fight left. They've now lost 3 close games to good teams during a season in which they had very high expectations. They were pre-season top 10.
Both of these teams are f-in' schizophrenic. I wouldn't bet right now on either one of them. Put a gun to my head and I'd probably take the points.
If the Sooners' offense is clicking on all cylinders they could blow 'em out. In that case, whether we blow 'em out depends a lot on the play of our defensive line and the ability to stop the run. No need to even talk about special teams...we all know OU's are not.
If I were a betting man, I'd probably take the over 69 or 68.5. I think it will be a high-scoring game. Sooners score 46 pts a game and average over 600 yards of offense in Norman. There are several over trends in play here. Fleming (outstanding OU corner) is probably back but who knows if he'll be 100% in his first game back.
