Back In The Saddle!!!!

After bouncing back with an impressive Twins victory last night, I am ready to delve into this night's college football matchup between the Oklahoma State Cowboys versus the Aggies of Texas A&M. After playing total creampuffs in their respective early season games, this is the first conference game for both teams.

Upon seeing various lines ranging from Oklahoma State -2.5 to -3.5, I cannot get a real feel on the game. Furthermore, I am relying soley on my models since I have yet to see either team play. While the numbers and homefield advantage suggest Okie State makes sense here, I am going to play the total (over/under for any neophytes out there).

With the total nestled at a lofty 66 points, I am taking the under. Despite both teams possessing explosive offenses, this is the first conference game and is being played in prime time on ESPN. Their recent two contests have resulted in the total going way over, however, these matchups were later in the season. Now for the release.....Over 66 for the total.
