A few surprising ones in there, but none more than Tamu being favored to lose to Wake.  Crazy.   :crazy:

Tamu has been very inconsistent though.

If I were a gambling man, I'd take our line in a heartbeat. I just don't think that's a good matchup for Purdue. What are the oddsmakers seeing that I'm not?

This afternoon UT moved to a 3 point favorite.

It's a good match-up on paper.

Purdue's potent offense vs our defense. This will be  shootout most likely.

Perhaps I look at Ole Miss, Pitt, and UK too much, but if the weather is dry I think we hit 40. And if Purdue's QB isn't a runner that's going to be a big problem for them.

Our secondary is porous, but Banks will bring heat, and a QB who can't escape it won't fare well.

Are you sure? Just about any QB can run on us, it seems.
