***holiday bowl Oregon VS Oklahoma

[lastsamurai]

I really like OREGON in this one... -3 on bowdog...

[kdog]

Who's playing QB for Oregon? If Clemens is back I agree with you, if not I'll pass on the game,because the Ducks sure as hell can't stop anybody.

[IHateKeithSmart]

Dixon will be starting. I am rooting for the ducks, but not betting the game. I think it will be pretty close.

Ok, here is how I look at it…

For the number 5 team in the nation (BCS), one spot away from a BCS bowl, to only be favored by 3 against an unranked OU team tells me Vegas isn’t giving Oregon very much credit and OU has gotten a lot better toward the end of the season.

I would guess OU has a good chance on winning this game, but I do not feel strongly enough either way to bet on it.

You know this could be a teaser bet for Vegas trying to get a ton of squares to through a ton of money on #5 (only -3) vs Unranked…

I personally don’t think this is a good game to bet on…

Do you OU might not even out out to play this game? I think its going to be a great game for two teams that are trying to build momentum for next year.

I like the Ducks, but am avoiding this. Oklahoma did have national title aspirations at the beginning of the year and might have used the bowl practices to mold that talent. I also have the lingering fear that the Ducks will repeat Cal's performance of last year. If I had to bet, though, I'd be on the Ducks

I actually got OU at +3.5, I think Oregon is overhyped and feels shafted that they didnt get the BCS bid and will come out flat, OU is playing well, and the bookies are trying to load action up on oregon and make some cash off dopes who dont see that this for all intensive purposes could be a pick em with Dixon starting

This is game 7 of 12 in a ridiculous 12 team straight parlay that gets paid a 50% bonus by bet365 if it hits; so far so good

[jsnipes28]

Is this a good spot to take a moneyline? Its at +135 on Bodog.

Sorry Newbie Question: Since the line moved from -3 to -3.5 does that mean a lot of money has been bet on Oregon and the books are trying to even it out by making the Okla. bet better?

[IHateKeithSmart]

This is just in general response to the other thread RE: oregon fans. No real expert advice, but I am a ducks fan, live here in Eugene. I have not been too awfully strong on the Ducks all season, especially since Clemens went down. This will be a good test for them, they got trounced pretty well at Oklahoma last year. I changed my mind and threw a few home $ at the ducks (-3). I think this is going to be a good game. We'll see.

Good luck with whatever side you take - AS LONG AS ITS THE DUCKS!!!

most of the books haven't moved the number yet. I hope some of that heavy action on GT makes it down to the evening game...

NEXT TIME ONE OF RYAN LEAFS RELATIVES PLAYS ON A TEAM TELL ME AHEAD OF TIME.

[RiverTheNuts]

Haha as soon as I saw him go in I literally said to my family "Money in the bank, he'll throw a pic in a crucial spot"

[lastsamurai]

What's a worse last name...Leaf playing fooball or Bin ladin?

[fnurt]

The bin Laden family name is at least known for running an explosive offense.
