i hope you don't take offense to this and i wish you luck, but from a ROI standpoint you are MUCH better off laying the -1.62 on the Texas money line. This may very well hit tomorrow but in the long run these will be less profitable than just playing any money line you are interested in. Parlays are fun, exciting, and maybe exotic but they are long term money burners.
This sounds familiar...

Almost every bettor thinks they've run across a great thing when they discover the heavy-favorite moneyline parlay technique, then we learn our lesson with an upset game. You're not alone in that. Far from alone.
It reminds a lot of when table game bettors discover the Martingale betting technique -- doubling your bet after each loss -- thinking it can't lose, because a winning hand will eventually come up. It's great in theory, then comes a run of 12 losing hands at the blackjack table.
As a fellow Mizzou fan, you have to admit that we thought Mizzou was a sure thing at home as a 14 point fav to OSU. Now they go on the road as a 21 pt fav. Don't get me wrong, I think Mizzou wins easily, but to throw them in as a "sure thing" doesn't make sense.
Also, look at it this way, in order for your proposed bet to hit, you need Texas to win.
If they do win, don't you think the chances are extremely likely that they'll win by 4 or more points?
Even if you don't think so, and you fear a very close game, then isn't the -1.62 a better idea??
Seriously man, this isn't a good bet.

No that wont hit b/c texas will not win!
Texas tech has a better offense, defense, at home, turn the ball over less, never punt, and have had 7 3 and outs all year! And they have the refs on there side as well!
No tryingto be an ass but i have seen tech play live twice and texas live twice! Dont take the bait!
