Texas 24 point favorite vs. FAU

[ngnichols]

So, would you guys take Texas at -24 (-105)?

I'm thinking this is stealing money right now.

I already have. FAU has been hit by the injury bug. I am suprised that the line isn't increasing. Starting TE and center are out. One OG is very questionable. starting DE is out and one DT lost to academics.

How do you miss making your grades at that place? He must have flunked surfing last spring.

I like the parlay of Texas -24 and the over (65.5), but that's just me.

here's apparently someone with a dissenting opinion.

I'm going with this parlay tomorrow:

Virginia Tech -440 moneyline
USC -20 (-105) spread
Texas -24 (-105) spread
Boston College -500 moneyline

35 Texas to 17 FAU

I don't really have an issue with what the "ESPN nobody" said. I'd say he makes a pretty good argument. The injuries are going to hurt their chances, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if FAU covers. They're still a solid team, and I can count on one hand the number of times i've seen Texas come out for an opener clicking on all cylinders.

Texas should win, probably comfortably, but 24 might be a stretch.

i will be very very shocked if we beat them by more than 3. they are moving the ball on us. If they stop making mistakes we may be in trouble.

Wouldn't say in trouble, but there's no question the secondary's giving up way too many plays. They're young, it's not a complete surprise for the first game, but it's definitely an area that's going to have to improve.

I hope the D gets them to snap the ball over their QB's head again
