Posted Big 12 YTD 2-3 -- Even units less the juice
Last week:
4* 1-0 KSU covers large
3* 0-1 Oklahoma fails me
2* 1-1 Nebraska no problem, Missouri suprised
1* 0-1 Baylor - What was I thinking?
My first week posting last week with only average results, but I'm going to try it again.
Texas A&M -8.5
No Whittemore, no offense. Kansas gets killed. A&M is very inconsistant, but has atheletes and McNeil and Co. demolish KU at Kyle field. The line is moving up. I like it to 13. Love it at 8.5. I saw the line open up at 8 and go down to 7. I thought I might get a gift at 6.5 and then before I could catch it, it went to 8.5. People must have figured out that Whittemore was done for the year. Seriously people, Whittemore was all KU had.
Texas -6
What exactly has Nebraska done to warrant a chance in this game? Brad Smith did it to them. Vince Young follows suit and Bo Pelini's defense finds out how good they really are. Texas wins by 2 touchdowns in Austin. I feel very good here.
Oklahoma St +16.5
I like the Cowboy's chances to keep it close. This is way more points than I expected here. I'm not betting it large, but if I can find it, I'm going to also going to bet small on the ML. I like the odds. People are talking "double revenge" game. What does that mean? OU will lose by twice as much? Go with the Cowboys and the points.
Can't bet the Tech/CU game until I find out for sure if Symons is healthy. If so, I will lay a couple of units on Tech at -15.5.
40 points is too many points to give Baylor even if KSU could beat them by 80. Once Snyder takes Roberson/Sproles out of the game the offense slows to a crawl. It may be 42-7 at halftime and 42-7 at the end of the game. If I can find a good halftime spread, I will bet the 1st half, otherwise I lay off.
To recap:
4* Texas A&M -8.5
3* Texas -6
2* OSU +16.5
Leans on Tech if Symons is healthy and KSU 1st half.
