Oklahoma is only a 3-point favorite over Mizzou?
I've been following Mizzou for many years now and that strikes me as one of the stranger lines I've seen for one of their games. I guess the Sooners' close call earlier in the season at Cincinnati is playing a part in setting the line there, but they have looked fantastic in their two games after that. The Missouri defense has played impressively in their last three games, but they will be totally outclassed at pretty much every position on the field on Saturday. Also, Stoops owns Pinkel.

If the line were 7 points, I still think Oklahoma would be the play. But 3? I certainly hope I'm wrong, but betting the Sooners to cover seems like easy money to me.

If the forecast holds that line is a mortal lock.

I've given a lot of pretty bad opinions on this board over the years....but I've never enjoyed being wrong on any of them as much as I did this one.
