Texas opens as a 20.5 point favorite v BYU

[TexasMan 10640]

Yeah, I'm just as surprised as you. 

Still digging up other books to compare. 

 

[Rickylovesweed 14076]

I'm surprised the line is that high but Vegas isn't a believer in BYU which isn't surprising if you've looked at their schedule and results. 

They've played 2 teams .500 or better and have lost both games by an average of 22 points. 

[TexasGolf 4807]

Lol. Easy money 

[hookem48 4603]

so they don't even care if our QB can play or not?

I would not touch this line. 

I have zero faith in Texas covering but the line is that high because BYU is not good. I would have zero confidence in betting either way on this one. 

[Hookem2147 20811]

In a week to week sport like football, Vegas makes so much money off emotional people who bet solely based on the result of the previous game.

[Sgt Hulk 13484]

Yeah taking BYU all day. Texas wins by 13 at best 

[Burt 4040]

Do they really think our defense will hold BYU to -5 points? If Ewers is out, we're not scoring more than 15 points.

I will bet you any amount of money that Texas scores more than 15 points at home against this BYU defense. 

BYU has given up 31 to Arkansas, 38 to Kansas, 27 to Cincinnati, and 44 points to TCU. Only 1 of those teams even has a good offense. Some of you are way too reactionary. 

[gmr548 16253]

BYU is not good and less well equipped to exploit Texas’s defensive weak points than Houston. Hard to imagine them getting past 21 points and Texas should be able to top that at home regardless of who’s playing QB.

On the other hand, not sure this team should be favored by 20 over anyone right now given the trend line and injuries. Texas will be very easy to defend without Ewers.

Probably a rock fight.

[TexasGolf 4807]

Without ewers we will need a defensive touchdown to win

[Horn Dogg 3726]

Fuck it, just win!  I wouldn’t bet on this one at all.

[Schulz2.0 28616]

2:30 kickoff...

[Nicole44 21941]

Weren’t we like 23 point favorites against Houston? Like factor in Quinn’s health and no wouldn’t touch this line. 

[Helobious 9393]

We can cover this line with Murphy. Some of you haven’t seen byu play and it shows.

What's the status of the BYU qb? Is he playing with knee brace? If so, then BYU straight up.

He has -49 yards rushing on the year with a long run of 8 yards.

[Rickylovesweed 14076]

I mean PK really has no excuses this week. BYU's offense is probably the 2nd worst we've faced (Baylor being the worst). 

[VaLonghorn99 337]

I will take any W against BYU and count my blessings.

[SHOOTER12 8766]

Don't EVEN want to hear any "big spread" bullshit.

Seems primed to fuck us up.

[Crockett 455]

You guys have it made in the shade. Backup QBs are our kryptonite. 

[GreenspointTexas 9353]

Byu has beaten Tech, Arky, and Cincy. We will win but we aint covering. 

 

the past two weeks, the offense has averaged 27 ppg. gonna be tough, especially if we dont have quinn

Real murderers row there.

[Rickylovesweed 14076]

Only @GreenspointTexas could possibly think BYU beating Tech, Arkansas and Cincy means something valuable. 

Struggling to beat all 3 of those shit teams is a better indicator of how bad BYU is. Apparently.....Greenspoint thinks beating 2-5 Cincinnati, 2-6 Arkansas, and 3-5 Texas Tech with a 3rd string QB means something of importance. 

[mchookem 15429]

[MuellerHorn 4044]

[Pato del Muerto 51914]

Small play on byu and the under as a parlay, no?  Small risk but if one happens then both probably do and you boost  the payout. 

[TexasMan 10640]

Brett says 16. I don't know where he gets his lines from. 

 

 

[TexasMan 10640]

Circa just came out. They also have the line at 16. That seems more reasonable. Maybe Fan Duel doesn't know Ewers is injured? 

 

 

[Pato del Muerto 51914]

Cal is only getting 10 against USC? 

[TexasGolf 4807]

I’d take okst 

[stork642 4498]

I don’t understand this point spread.  Did BYU run out of knee braces?

[6th Street 6245]

I got BYU +19.5 on DK

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 2714]

Free money

[z009 65]

BYU is really bad, so I don't think it will matter how much of an egg we lay. This should be an easy cover.

Taysom Hill is still in the NFL, playing three different positions. Texas launched him into stardom. 

[NeverMarryAStripper 21765]

He should be putting half of his salary into our NIL program

[Atticus 3892]

Taysom Hill is a 4.4 guy, Kedon Slovis is like a 4.9 guy who doesn't really look to run much.
