    Default Texas -34 is too many points against Central Florida

    This is an early game noon CST. Most UT fans will just be getting up and UT has been notoriously a slow starter. UCF played this team very close a couple of years ago and could have won that game. Of course 2 years later is a huge change but UCF's defense may get some early stops. I'm going to play UCF first half when the line comes out because of UT's slow 1st halfs. I'll also take the game points as I think this is too high.

    I like your thinking as well as the fact that Justin7 has this game as his best play of the week. I think +21.5 first half looks attractive.

    Good luck

    I agree. Letdown game for both teams but more so for Texas. UCF will be up for playing a big time team. As long as they don't shoot themselves in the foot, they should be okay.

    Found out this week UCF is now the 3rd largest university in the country?!

    They are but it's all commuters. They all drive in or study online. They have a fairly new stadium that opened up a couple years ago when they pushed UT to the limit and lost by like only 2 points.

    i brought this up as a game I really liked earlier this week (along with WSU +33 @ zona), but houlihansTX (sp) turned me off of it due to this: the bcs time is coming and margin of victory and style points start to matter, so TX could very well step on their throats if they get down early. I still like the play, but it's a lean at this point. GL to all of you though

    Mack Brown has never really been a style points type of coach. Bob Stoops maybe but not MB. He just has his players play as best as they can and if they put up 50 then so be it.

    I think the B12 is down this year and UT is the only real team in that conference but they may not have been challenged much, so they may not be ready to blow this team out. Based on their slow starts this year if they do the same Saturday then it will be pretty hard to cover the spread. I'm going to take the chance on the 1st half and roll it to the game cover as well.

    That was prolly the worst beat ever for peopl who took the Dogs last week. Add Indiana +17.5, with a lead in the 4th qtr. Epic Fail.

    I still think TX covers, but who in the hell knows. NO monetary interest in this game for me

    GL MAC.

    What's 1st and 2nd? My guess: Ohio State and Minnesota. Am I way off?

    Ha, it's a small world!

    0-0 end of the first. Let's see if UCF can put some points on the board here and then weather the impending Texas explosion.

    Wow TX is really letting UCF stay in it. Hope TX loses so some more spots in the BCS open up for the Mid Majors.

    just because ohio state covered doesn't mean it was the wrong call. Texas may come out firing in the second half though, could be scary

    Yeah, they gave us a sweat at the end there, but a good start to the betting day.

    Cha-fuking Ching... I hammered that first half line and they covered the game line as well. Great job UCF and all the tailers
