I am new to covers but I have been betting reponsibly (kinda) for the last 15 years. Here is an article to I wrote on my blog today regarding Tex A&M and Mizzou.
So here is one of those games that many people don’t want to touch because of several reasons that can really hinder your ability to make a solid play. Missouri is ranked and they are also coming into this game undefeated. The Aggies seem to have the same reputation year in and year out. They are perceived as a “pretty formidable” team that is respected and always finds its way to a bowl game. But WHY should I play this game when I can go bet on Boise St or Alabama?? Well, let’s apply our studies to some very important facts. Mizzou comes in with a very flashy record (5-0) Tex A&M checks in with a pedestrian record (3-2). The Oddsmakers slapped the Aggies as a 3 point favorite. Why should they be favored? For several reasons.
For starters, Missouri has played absolutely nobody. Their 5 wins include McNeese ST, San Diego St, Miami Ohio, and finally a Big 12 victory against Colorado last week. An opening day win at home vs Illinois appears to be Mizzou’s highlight win thus far.
There seems to be a lot of talk about the Tigers defense, but against those 5 opponents, the numbers are deceiving. Here’s another interesting fact, all five of Missouri’s wins have come AT HOME. This is the first time Missouri has played a road game this season. Funny how NCAAF schedules are all over the funkadelic map sometimes.
As for Texas A&M, the Aggies are a very underrated team. Their two losses have come to Arkansas (last week 24-17) and Okla St on the road. Texas A&M is looking to break a two-game losing streak, after they began the year 3-0. Don’t be fooled by the Aggies’ record, however, this is a very talented team that has lost each of the last two weeks away from home against ranked teams by 10 total points (lost by 3 at Oklahoma State, lost by 7 in a neutral-site game to Arkansas). Texas A&M is 3-0 at home so far in 2010, defeating Stephen F. Austin, Louisiana Tech and Florida International. Arkansas is a top 5 team in my opinion, and Okla St. is always a very tough place to play. The Aggies lost 38-35 at Okla ST in a game that saw them turn the ball over 5 times on the road. You can’t do that on the road, but to be able to do that and still only lose by a last second FG says a lot about how legit they are. Ready for a cherry to place on top of this play: Here it is:
A&M is 374-148-19 there alltime, including 3-0 in 2010

agree Mizzou should come away with their first loss. Mizzou has not played all home games though. The Illinois game was in the dome in St. Louis which is about halfway between the mizzou and ill campuses. good luck on your play.

Got on it Sunday night- my biggest play. I can't believe the line hasn't moved. Apparently, nobody watched the MU/CU game in Columbia last weekend. If you missed it, suffice to say that MU's ranking is...fraudulent.
Check out the stats from the game Saturday night. On top of that, Gabbert looked to be a bit tentative before the injury that knocked him out of the game. So was he already gimpy???? Whatever the case, MU ain't got the horses to keep up with a desperate A&M team...and the inaccurate public perception that got them a top 20 ranking won't help them tomorrow.

Warned once about posting links to your blog. This isn't going to fly around here.
You seem to be quick to bitch and blow the whistle, but when I kindly asked you how to link my covers blog to my personal blog you were no where to be found. WTF?
