Big 12 Report: Week 9 Previews

Game: Oklahoma State vs. West Virginia
Last Week: Oklahoma State 13, Texas 10 | West Virginia 38, Baylor 36
Date & Time: Saturday, October 28th @ 11:00 a.m.
Location: Milan Puskar Stadium
Television: ABC
Line: Oklahoma State -7.5
Expert Commentary: I think I like West Virginia and those points. In fact, I really like the underdogs this week in the Big 12 because the points just seem too big to pass up. I think that West Virginia can absolutely stick with Oklahoma State offensively and although I think the Oklahoma State defense is much better than the Mountaineers, but I still take those 7.5 points here.
Game: Texas vs. Baylor
Last Week: Oklahoma State 13, Texas 10 | West Virginia 38, Baylor 36
Date & Time: Saturday, October 28th @ 11:00 a.m.
Location: McLane Stadium
Television: ESPNU
Line: Texas -8
Expert Commentary: At first blush, those 8 points seem like it’s not enough, at least for me, but then you sorta realize that there’s significant issues for Texas at the quarterback spot and Baylor may have found something in Charlie Brewer (although I think Zach Smith will start). I’ll take Longhorns here because I think that the Texas defense is legit. They’ll slow this game down and I think they’ve got enough to score.
Game: Kansas State vs. Kansas
Last Week: Oklahoma 42, Kansas State 35 | TCU 43, Kansas 0
Date & Time: Saturday, October 28th @ 2:00 p.m.
Location: Memorial Stadium
Television: FS1
Line: Kansas State -24
Expert Commentary: This is a very uninteresting game for me after Kansas gets their doors blown off last week at TCU (I do remember being right on that game and telling you guys to take TCU). I think I like Kansas this week with those 24 points. I don’t think the Kansas team was as bad as they showed out last week and they’re back at home. Kansas State will get Ertz back for this game I think and they’ll win handily, but not by 24.
Game: TCU vs. Iowa State
Last Week: TCU 43, Kansas 0 | Iowa State 31, Texas Tech 13
Date & Time: Saturday, October 28th @ 2:30 p.m.
Location: Jack Trice Stadium
Television: ABC/ESPN2
Line: TCU -6.5
Expert Commentary: I immediately want to take Iowa State and those points. That was my gut reaction after seeing that line. TCU has been absolutely terrific this year, particuarly the defense, but Iowa State still seems underrated and playing at Jack Trice Stadium is a serious advantage.
