Baylor and Kansas State are the value bets for winning the Big 12 in 2022 according to CBS. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/2022-big-12-championship-odds-picks-texas-favored-to-win-title-but-baylor-kansas-state-have-most-value/amp/

Better headline: "Vegas betting on the blue bloods"

At this stage, it's all guesswork now anyways. So who cares what Vegas says?

If it's all guesswork at this point why on earth do you get so butthurt with meaningless predictions in late May?

Especially since they're not even predictions, in this case. Vegas isn't in the business of predicting. They're just reading the pulse of bettors. The odds are always high on bluebloods because that's where the money is.

I think preseason polls are a fair source of frustration because those are meant to be predictive. But bluebloods have always run college football. That's the way it's always been and it's likely the way it always will be. All we can do is just keep beating them on the field and worry about the postseason rankings. Those matter way more anyway.

I said I don't care. How is that "butthurt"?

no, you asked who cares?

This is great for BU. Right now, if you place a bet for BU to win the national title it will cost $220 and net you $33K on BETUS.com. Not bad considering we were only a pick by TCU from being in the CFP last year.

Different ways of saying the same thing. It was clearly implied.

It was not clearly implied. You've been belly aching all off season about Baylor's meaningless predictions by other fanbases. Translation if another fan base doesn't have us going 15-0 you're upset. I just don't get why you give a crap what other fanbases predictions are. Especially when most have been between 7-9 which considering the schedule is fair. Go back a decade and look at our average wins on years we have to travel to Ames, Austin, Norman, and Morgantown. A helpful hint… it ain't good

You really should stop trying to read my mind because you look foolish. In the context of my post, it should have been quite clear. I apologize if it wasn't.

As far as my expectations for the season, I've already stated I think we will get at least 8-9 wins & can get more. I also readily acknowledged that I can be wrong.

Yes preseason rankings are meaningless, including my own, because they are all guesswork. They are not based on any real games that have been played. That is obvious.

The point is to have fun with the big12 championship odds. Baylor and Kansas State are the only two I would feel have odds worth taking. It's nice to win $ betting against Texas . I did not intend on people taking this so seriously!

Woe, woe, woe is me!!

Whenever somebody doesn't pick Baylor to go unbeaten and win the national title, I am heartbroken for weeks. I just can't stop the tears.

Woe, woe, woe is me.

Oh. They picked Texas to win the Big 12.

Their cry should be, "Sick 'em!"

I didn't express myself well enough, obviously, but that's my point too. Let's have fun cheering for our Bears!
