Saturday:
Play #4 - Moneyline Parlay > Texas with Army x 1U pays 2.1
-should be a fun with the Sooners in the Red River shootout....if Iowa St. could move the ball on the Sooners, Brooks or Ewers will make them hurt when the Horns have the ball...and they have a better defense to hold down Gabriel
-B.C. had trouble with Louisville's run game and Army is sneaky with the pass mixed in this year with a dangerous run so if B.C. stacks the box too much, I think we might see Army move the ball regardless
-Army has a pretty good defense and secondary
Play #5 - Washington St +3.5 x 1U
-Ward to return the favour on UCLA this year after losing a 67-63 loss at home vs a much better UCLA team last year that was TOP10 material for much of the year
-this year, Cougars are ready to take that step with a perfect Ward guiding them and some other playmakers
-even if this is a grinder, I have pretty good chance of backdoor covering or winning here I believe as UCLA is not an explosive offense this year
Play #6 - N. Illinois -3.5 x 1U
-better situation at RB and QB to score points
-yes Akron can play defense but N.Illinois has show they can move the ball and beat a power division school on the road already (B.C.)
-check out the stats of the backup and now lead QB for Akron..... minus yds running the ball haha and terrible throwing stats
Play #7 Total TEASER 7 PT x 1 U EACH (3 way pays 2.1)
> Iowa UNDER 48.5 with Texas Over 52 with:
1. Buffalo Under 65.5 ....traditionally a high scoring game but not with this Buffalo offense this year and poor weather
2. Akron Under 54 ... see my write up about Akron QB and the fact they have a decent defense
3. Alabama +4 ... only once do I see Bama losing to Texas AM and not more than this... Bama quietly lighting a spark as underdogs in their minds, as a team now
.-Red River SHOOTOUT is the name for a reason
-last two years Purdue and Iowa didn't get over 30 pts together and in the 2 yrs before, they never went over the TEASED total
Play #8 - Rice -10 x 2U
-this is a terrible UCONN team going against a gunslinging Rice team that can run up the score if they choose at home and I am not sure if UCONN can respond in kind.....great TEASER KEY down to -3 for Rice if chosen
-Rice has some tougher games coming up so they won't get cute here and get the job done!
I look forward to capping the evening games tomorrow......
Beer is gotta be earned from winning or hard work. Andy Dufresne agrees.
