In today's Betting Buzz, Scott & Dave Preview the Big 12 Conference
The Mack Brown Country Club is closed for good as Charlie Strong has made it clear that this is his team. Dave's feeling is that Texas fans may be expecting too much from this team as they may be just the 3rd or 4th best team in the league. Dave states that Baylor and Oklahoma and maybe Kansas State are all better than them. This is not a top 25 team right now. Scott feels that they may be a 6-6 team this year.
Oklahoma is the class of the league, but they really need a big year from Trevor Knight. They are a 38 point favorite over La Tech to begin the year and last year had just 1 win by 38 points, being Iowa State 48-10. They also have just 2 non-conference wins by that margin going back to the 2010-11 season. Dave feels that the Sooners can get to the playoff game and should they blow everyone out on their schedule this year it would be a good time to fade them in the playoffs.
Baylor is tough and has an easy non-conference slate. Art Briles has really brought the excitement back to Baylor football. Scott likes the over 9 on their win total this year.
Oklahoma State should lose big to Florida State to open there year.
TCU may really be the only sleeper in the league.
