Big 12 Predict-O-Scores: Week #7

After blowing a chance to go 6-0 last week by picking the Cats at home, the VIC is now 20-6 straight up and 9-15 vs the spread (1-5 ATS last week). There are a few more challenges this week, so let's see who the VIC-20 likes in Week #7: 

Nebraska 25 @ Texas Tech 41
Vegas has Tech -21 / The VIC-20 is dreaming on this one -- Leach won't let up and it's hard to imagine the Red Raiders not covering here.

Texas 30 vs Oklahoma 28
Vegas has OU -6.5 / On paper I agree with the VIC, but history tells me to go with OU.

Iowa State 27 @ Baylor 28
Vegas has Baylor -4.5 / Did you know that Baylor was only favored to win twice last year? They covered both times.

Oklahoma State 30 @ Missouri 37
Vegas has MU -13.5 / I was thinking more like OSU 50, MU 57, but you've got to like Mizzou to cover at home. This could be a wild one.

Kansas State 29 @ Texas A&M 30
Vegas has KSU -3.5 / Here's a game I'd just stay away from.

Colorado 22 @ Kansas 34
Vegas has KU -14 / If KU finds their mojo at home, they can cover 14 points.

Looks like you need to rework some formulas for scoring!

The only spread I think I'd touch would be the Tech game, all the other games I can see going either way.

I've never rooted for the Pokes like I'll be rooting for them Saturday, hopefully they can blow up the "greatest offense ever"...but I don't see it happening.

The biggest issue with the formula is it just won't project a 52-7 score ... which is not reality. However, if I'm almost hoping that it blows up again this week against the spread. If it can consistently be wrong against the spread, I'll be thrilled.
