I love this action point bet this Saturday

[MYFOOTBALLGAME]

Texas Tech + 2.5

I feel this play has a great risk/reward scenario playing Texas Tech on action points. I'm not saying Texas Tech will win this game, but they have a great shot at it, and I think they will win it. But I feel if Texas wins it will be between 1-7 points, but if Tech wins it could be up to 28 points. Texas Tech is 2-0 at home this season with the folowing scores.

70-35 win over TCU
70-10 win over Nebraska

Texas offense hasn't been very good lately. Their QB Vince Young is not much of a passer and if Tech takes a lead it will be hard for Texas to catch up by passing the ball. Tech has won 2 of the last 3 at home vs Texas. Last year Texas beat Tech 43-40 as a 18.5 point fav. Two years ago at Tech, Tech won 42-38 as a 6 point dog. Tech's defense is much improved this year and will keep Texas offense under control and Texas will have their hands full with Tech's passing offense.

Vince Young, Texas QB, bruised his sternum last week and came out of the game with his backup not being able to move the ball much either. Neither of the QB's have had much success throwing the ball this season to their young receivers. They miss Roy Williams. Cedrick Benson is TX main threat at RB, but they lost his valuable backup that was a stud earlier in the year. Little depth anywhere here, and Benson is the only starter that is a stud, but Tech can concentrate on stoping the run since the pass offense isn't very good at TX.
I love the Red Raiders this Saturday. I predict 38-24 Tech.

I feel comfortable capping for as much point cap as you can get. If it's a blow out I feel it will be done by Tech.


For the record I will use a 50 point cap.

Big revenger for Tech and they always play the Horns tough in Lubbuck. I feel this year they have gotten better with their overall team speed and with their defense. I will be making this one a ML play. I believe UT stumbling just enough and are too one dimensional to threaten Tech via the air. Add to this the fact that Benson and VY will put the ball on the turf from time to time.

Winone - Yes they can fumble a bit, I feel Tech can limit Benson here and will be able to focus on the run and Young will have a tough time beating them in the air. Texas has gotten a few turnovers their way the last few weeks that probably saved the game for them last week. Last week they picked off a pass at the Missouri 1 and ran it 1 yard for the score, one of their other TD's was off a turnover around the Missouri 30.


Hansen - We got to stick together bro. I hope this bad boy cashes in a big way.

Love Tech on that funky field, and I would take the OVER if it were 80! GL

How do i place this bet. I am in need of a little help at ollypia it just buys up to 11 points at -600 what am i doing wrong. Please help

 

[MYFOOTBALLGAME]

El Iquana - may want to look at the Tech team total over.

MickyD - If you have an account at a book that takes action points you may want to call it in. You don't want anything at -600.

 

[Redneckman]

At what book can you get a 50 point cap on a college football game? 5 dimes limits to 20 points I believe. Thanks in advance.

Upset is very possible. I agree, if Texas wins, it will be less than a touchdown win. Tech won't blow out Texas, that won't happen. If they win, it will be buy less than a touchdown too.


GL to all this weekend..

MJ - Who would of thought that Tech would of beat Nebraska by 60. If Texas gets behind by 10 or more it could get ugly. I'm not saying it will happen, but the possibility is there. I look for this to be a very entertaining football game.

 

[MYFOOTBALLGAME]

Line is now Tech -1. Could even take TX + 1 now for what you risked per point which would make you a winner even if Tech lost by 3. So if you played Tech +2.5 for $100 a point I would consider playing Tx for $100. Best of luck to all. If Tech wins you still have the 3.5 points to cover the 1 point lost on the Tx play. So, if Tech wins by 10 you would win 11.4 instead of 12.5 if you risked 1.10 and Texas lost.

That'll leave a mark. Ouch.
