This is getting ugly. Another 0-3 week, this week the teams didn't even really cover (maybe UTEP). So down to -$8,700. I'm going to have to start selling oil fields if I don't turn this around. The good news is, a couple of hits, and the debt goes away. Again, the strategy is pick TD or more underdogs straight up for $1G, three a week...
Last week I stayed in Texas, I'm looking at more Texas teams this week again...
Mississippi State (+7, +250) vs. Texas A&M
Taking the SEC home team laying points last week killed me, but this team is ranked. A&M struggled at Ole Miss on the road, MSU might be chippy after last week. Maybe I'm the last guy buying into A&M, but I'll take a gamble this week.
Texas (+7, +225) at Texas Tech
Texas variability is wide. They might show up this week after the near escape in Lawrence. I've seen nothing to justify this pick, but it's rare that Texas gives points to Tech, even in Lubbock. So I'm going to take it.
Tulsa (+9, +310) at Arkansas
Okay, not Texas but neighboring states. Not sure where Arkansas is at, but loss to Ole Miss at home and now Tulsa comes a calling which hasn't lost since Labor Day. I have a feeling Tulsa might have more to prove.
Interesting fact about these games, all started well below a TD and grew, as if odds makers knew they'd be close, then bettors took the lead on the favorites.
I really need to hit two of these to get back in the game.
