Redneck High

I had very bad luck with Over/Under bets this week, going 0-5 on them. Two of the losses came on a combined 3 points. Now those were rough. Ohio State beating up on Iowa every bit as much as I thought they would pulled me out of the fire. I only wish I had shown some cojones and bet more than the three units I did.

Still, if my NFL games pan out tomorrow, I can't complain about the week. I'm hanging around, not losing much or winning much, and that's fine. Sooner or later a hot spell will come, and that's when I can make a little profit.

9/30 RESULTS

Colorado at Missouri, Under 38.5 - Loss, $22

Purdue (+14) at Notre Dame - Push, $22

Ohio State (-7) at Iowa - Win, $22/$20

Ohio State (-6.5) at Iowa - Win, $22.20/$20

Ohio State (-6) at Iowa - Win, $24/$20

Houston at Miami, Over 48.5 - Loss, $21.00

Nevada at UNLV, Over 48 - Loss, $22

(For final scores, see the season record page.)

Wish I had waited a while before placing my bet on the Purdue/Notre Dame. I got a push because the Boilermakers lost by exactly 14, but I saw the line on Purdue climb as high at +15.5 this morning. This was a case where waiting to put my money down would have given me a win.

ACTION

10/1 Colts (-7) at Jets

10/1 Jaguars (-2.5) at Redskins (3-unit bet)

The line is actually Colts -8, but the juice at one book was low enough that I could buy it down to -7.
