Tough week. If you play long enough you know they happen. Nothing we can do but look back over the plays and make adjustments. Really kicking myself for not playing a couple of games I mentioned. I said the WVU/Kansas number got away from us- I should have played that over. I liked Georgia, and really liked the Saints. I should have played them all.
Recap
Michigan State +4- Never showed up. Outclassed from kickoff. Lesson learned: don’t play mediocre Big 10 teams.
Toledo +13.5- I still like the play. They fell apart in the fourth quarter but the game was much closer than the score indicated and Toledo was winning at halftime.
Oregon/Arizona State Over 75: Landed on 72. Scoring slowed down in the second half. I would play it again.
Three-team 10 point teaser: Pats, Saints and Oklahoma State. Credit to TCU. I did not expect that kind of effort. A lot of people did- they were right.
YTD 6-11 (-$285) Fade me if you want…
3 team 10 point teaser (Risking $60 to win $50)
Saints +7, Broncos +7, Patriots +1
Risking ($55 to win $50)
Titans/Texans Over 43.5
USC/Washington State Over 63.5
Oklahoma State/Texas Tech Over 85 (2 units) 1-0 on these this year and it was another Tech over.
Money Line Parlay
Packers, Auburn, Texas A&M Risking ($50 to win $60)
When you are losing no one cares what your opinion is on games. They just want you to win. So I am switching it up. Five total plays. I like all of them. Good luck. I really think they we have a big week.
