Not so much in college, though. Road favorites win and cover all the time there. Texas really should have covered easily. It easily could have been 41-0 or so -- it was that bizarre option gone wrong from the 1-yard line and the strange 4-yard punt that led to all the Baylor punts. That's the kind of season it's been. Things have been so weird I wasn't even surprised when the wind knocked that punt down and it took a giant 30-yard leap backwards. That's a very good rule of thumb in the NFL, the "home dog" thing.

Re TX-Baylor: I always like dogs, especially home dogs, but I can't believe the line is only 25. I am not a Texas homer when it comes to lines, but I cannot believe the line is not in the 40s. Is someone really betting on Baylor today? "Home dog" bites again.
