Texas is a 1 pt favorite

Those odds are as close to even as you can get. WVU has looked better than Texas most of the year, but Texas has shown some flashes of good football. WVU has dominated and looked suspect in its only 2 true road games this year. Texas' running game is looking good of late and the WVU defense's worst outing was to a heavy running game. Even in the Kansas game the WVU offense showed it's weaknesses. So, I can see how a dispassionate gambling man would see this as a toss up with a wide range of possible outcomes.
Wise old fella once told me, Vegas putting a team -1 will most times get the majority of money on the favorite. I know the idea is to get even money on both teams but, ........ Vegas was not built on favorites coming in. Like our chances.
This is the tightest Big Xii game this weekend; all the others have big favorites.
ISU -11.5 over Kansas
OSU -12.5 over TTU
OU -13 over Baylor
UT -1.5 to 2 over WVU is basically a pick game.

I saw this... and on the site I used it moved to -2 UT which means more ppl are betting on Texas side.
Home teams typically gets a -3 point cushion just solely based on homefield adv. So yeah basically a pick 'em.

Let me warn you about Texas football this year. Don't take them for granted. WV will be lucky to defeat the Longhorns (in Austin). Expect a barnburner (couch burner?) and a real donnybrook. I ain't making no predictions until game day.
If you put a gun to my head and said that I had to pick the winner of this game and my life depended on picking the winner correctly .... I would go with Texas.
But ain't nobody pointing a gun at me.
Let's go Mountaineers!

IMO, Texas Longhorns have underachieved this year. They are a better team then their record suggest.
This will be a close game, it's winnable but The Mountaineers best bring the A Game.
[WVU] LETS GO MOUNTAINEERS[WVU]

Agree with you Foreman is gonna be a problem. If the defense can hold/contain him The Moumtaineers will have a chance.
If WVU can control the clock with long time eating drives on offense our odds get better. IMO
