Tough loss with Wisky, but I was definitely on the wrong side of that game. . . so lets move on to Saturday:
Best Bet:
Arizona State taking 21.5 over Nebraska:
Yeah, I understand where this game is being played at, but there's now way in hell that you can convince me that a QB without any big game experience in college is giving up over 3 touchdowns to a sub par team like Arizona State (Nebraska has several other vacant skill positions as well as their QB). This line is a direct reflection of Nebraska's reputation for blowouts in the past, but times are changing. Several cappers are going to fall for it, but not me. Take the nice points now before Vegas adjusts their lines to reflect just how sub par this Nebraska team really is.
2.2 units to win 2
Other Bets:
Ohio State laying six to Texas Tech:
I understand that Texas Tech could be a dangerous team with their offensive attack, but leaving Columbus with a 'W' is never easy for any team. I thought about taking Tech in this game because Ohio State doesn't have a proven QB, but I'm going to play this small and hope he finds his way to get in sync in a short period of time. Another reason I'm playing this game is due to what happened with the funny line change. First starting out at around 17 in favor of Ohio State, but then the bookies realized their mistake and pulled the game. . . coming back with OSU favored by 10. Now down below 7? Too much early action on Tech and in my opinion and overreaction to the mistake made when the line first came out. Should be a great game, but I feel Ohio State wins by double digits in the end.
1.1 units to win 1
Still looking at the other two games. . . especially Iowa State/Florida State matchup. Really want to take the points with ISU, but will wait and see how the line moves tomorrow. Took the ASU/Nebraska line early because I feel the line will move in ASU's direction tomorrow. Simply too many points. Good luck to all.
