I look for "spots" when picking football games. Emotions and location meaning everything. As we saw when Texas met Texas Tech, Texas struggled early on the road. Key words....on the road. Home/road is huge in college football. Now we find the Red Raiders in a situation similiar to what the Longhorns were in. There they are as roadwarriors after a couple big games.
Oklahoma has won 22 straight home games. Texas Tech hasn't beaten both Texas/Oklahoma in the same year in at least 10 years(as far as my info goes) The last seven times TT has played "in" Oklahoma...1-6. As we can see there is no logical reason to back the Red Raiders in this.."spot". They have no advantages. So do I go against all that with a...."this is a totally different Texas Tech team? How will that week off play into this? Will the Sooners be out the avenge last seasons loss?
I can't do it. I can't find that..."oh yeah Oklahoma!" or that.."oh yeah Texas Tech!" I hate to wimp out with..."turnovers will be the deciding factor"..but there's where I'm at. Yep...wimp :cry:
