NCAAF YTD: 38-22 (+27 U) 63%
It's been a fun football season here on Covers. I joined the party a little late, but I still made a decent profit betting on the college kids. I'm anxiously awaiting the bowl season, and I look to double my bankroll this weekend on one game.
Call me crazy, stupid, a homer, whatever. I am extremely confident in this wager that I have already locked in.
I am cognizant of the Nebraska defense. I realize their interior defensive line is arguably best in the country. Guess what folks, I don't care. Colt will have his way with them moving outside of the pocket and buying time.
The key number here is 27. If Texas can score 27 points (season average is 43) they will cover plain and simple. Observing Nebraska many times this year, I can tell you their offense is painful to watch. I am willing to spot Nebraska 13 points in this game, and I believe that is being generous. One could argue that Texas A&M exposed the Longhorns defensively, but that rivalry game is an entirely different animal. TAMU quarterback Johnson is highly underrated and is the most athletic quarterback Texas had faced all season. That game meant the world to the Aggies and they played their hearts out.
Nebraska quarterback Zac Lee will be running for his life in this one. I will tell you that I'd be shocked if the Longhorn defense doesn't contribute to putting points on the board Saturday night. Conversely, the best defense NU has played this season was OU at home. In that game, NU managed a meager 10 points. Again, they'll be lucky to match that total this week, but I'm willing to spot them 13.
It's going to be one hell of an atmosphere, and I just purchased four tickets in the Texas lower level end zone at Cowboys stadium. Looking forward to watching my Horns make me some money for a trip to Pasadena to play the Gators in the matchup that should have happened last year. Hook 'Em!
27U TEXAS -13.5 ATS (Buy 1/2)
