Frogs Open as a 3.5 Favorite

[Ray Finkle]

Saw on VegasInsider that one has already dropped it to Frogs -3.

 

[Bonner4Prez]

It was roddog. He put that sharp money on Tech

 

[Purple Daze]

Yeah, that's surprising to me. I figured it would be the other way. We were discussing it last night and the consensus was Tech -4.5. We were wrong

 

[Bonner4Prez]

Tech is certainly a very reputable program who has always been ready and willing to play TCU. You would think -10 or so given how bad they beat the number 5 team

 

[TxFrog1999]

So then Vegas doesn't agree with the polls? Hmm. If the line doesn't move it will make for some upset dust mites, being slighted after their blowout against the mountain men.

 

[frognutz]

Thought it would be Tech minus 5. So, can we have their #18 ranking then? Idiot sportswriters.

 

[bcsbuster]

It is a pick em game and I would hate to have to pick a team. However I have $200 on with Rododg, so go Frogs.

 

[Prince of Purpoole]

Interesting. They are begging the casual bettor to load up on TT.

 

[ThisIsOurTime]

It is still early as many groups still haven't put out their lines for the game. Plus, what do the lines even mean. Tech was a 4.5 dog to WV and Tech blew them out. TCU was a 7 point favorite to ISU and lost and TCU was about an 8 point dog to BU and won by 28. So it doesn't mean much this season.

I laughed.

Go Frogs!

 

[SnoSki]

Wouldn't be surprised to see it move to 0 (pick em). Lots of reasons to think Tech should be favored.

 

[TopFrog]

Dont they allow 3 for the home team?

 

[Ron Swanson]

Interesting. They are begging the casual bettor to load up on TT.

Exactly my thought

 

[Dman890]

While blowing out any conference team is impressive, WVU was not even close to actually being the 5th best team in the country. I'd say these lines reflect that. I think you all are giving tech way too much credit.

 

[TxFrog1999]

I laughed.

Go Frogs!

Dust Mites have become my sobriquet for Tech fans. :wink:

 

[berryfrog95]

I was expecting -1.5 tcu, pleasantly surprised at 3ish

 

[PurpleBlood87]

I predicted TCU would be the favorite by 1 to 3 points in another thread.

Geno Smith is the best player in the country and Texas Tech defense made him look ordinary at best.

But if I'm correct, Tech is notorious for playing much better at home than away... much more so than most teams.

this has been the case

TCU was a 7 point favorite to ISU and lost

Before the #5 QB in the country was suspended and replaced by a RS FR who had never started a game.

Obviously the oddsmakers don't read this board, else they would know WE'RE SCREWED!
