Here is The Lost Ogle's official betting guide for this weekend's OU and OSU games. It's basically our picks for the games, plus some cool side-bets that we found. Enjoy!
OU (-41) vs. North Texas: When is the last time the OU offense played well in an opener that was not started by a QB who would eventually be a Heisman candidate? I would be surprised if the OU offense even scores 42 points, so take North Texas.
OSU (+6.5) at Georgia: Picking OSU to stay close in a road game opener against an SEC power is the equivalent to wearing one of those trucker style hats a few years ago. Sure, its trendy and the people on TV seem to like it, but when you actually do it you kind of feel like an idiot. Load up on Georgia. They should win by 14 or more.
Side Bets:
In addition to playing against the spread, there are a number of over/under and straight exotic bets that you can play on both OU and OSU. Here are some of the better ones.
+/- 3: The combined total of missed tackles and blown assignments committed by DJ Wolfe.
