Let’s go. I’ve got to hurry to beat the 11:00am first kickoff.
Just had my customary Gameday breakfast steak and eggs. I wanted to wait as long as possible to see if the Bedlam spread would move some more and it did. Holy shit…the Sooners are getting 4.5. This spread has literally moved six points since last Sunday on this game. The markets are bullish on the former Mullet King.
Reece Davis compared Gundy to Charlie Brown this morning as far his bleak Bedlam record, but here’s the thing… OU doesn’t have a Heisman finalist under center tonight. But still…4.5 and OU is hard not to take. Last time I can remember the Sooners being this big of a road dog in a regular season game was when the Sooners went up to Columbus and beat Kirk’s Buckeyes by dougle digits and Baker planted the flag.
I wouldn’t advise anyone planting any flags tonight though. In my younger days under the influnce of a few beers I might have pissed on that poser ‘1945 National Championship’ banner they have hung in the east endzone in the post game revelry. I’m way too old for that now.
Unless there’s an injury I’m unaware of beyond DJ Graham… I have to take the Sooners and the points.
I’m also taking Tulsa on the road versus SMU and the 7 points.
At the end last week I took the Buckeyes versus Michigan’s State’s putrid pass defense, gave the 19 and salavaged my week.
I’m taking the Buckeyes again today -6 on my two point bonus game. I now stand 14-16 versus the spread this topsy turvy season….still five points behind the streaking Chris Jackson who also took the Buckeyes in his bonus game last week.
You’ll notice I don’t have Auburn listed as any kind of upset special. I wanted to just for the sake of competitive drama, but I just can’t push that War Eagle button after the last two weeks. I’ve actually started to like Saban and quite frankly I’ll rooting for the Tide today…but in no way would I give 20 points on the road in this storied rivalry. Day I …Saban would give us more credibility as a democracy than Trump ever did ….not even close….plus, I like Saban’s wife—she’d make a great First Lady.
Gundy is a 4.5 favorite in Bedlam… I bet he’s shitting in his pants right now. That’s a lot for 1-19 Mike Gundy to be digesting internally right now. Gonna be lots of really angry Cowboys if Gundy can’t win as a 4.5 home favorite in the biggest game of his coaching career.
BOOMER!
No more communication for me with the outside world until these three games today have concluded.
