Sniffing at break-even
Thanks to the good day I had last Saturday in college football and the Chicago Bears win over the New York Giants, I'm within striking distance of getting myself back to even on the season. Considering the extreme cold spell I hit about a month back that's pretty good. I would love nothing more than to see another good Saturday, one that would put me back into positive territory.
Here are the games I'm on:
11/18 ACTION
Maryland (+8.5) at Boston College, $55/$50
Oklahoma at Baylor, Over 53, $50/$51
Okla. St. at Texas Tech (-3 1H), $55/$50
Missouri (-14) at Iowa St., $54.50/$50
E. Carolina (-2.5) at Rice, $55/$50
Arizona (+14.5) at Oregon, $55/$50
UTEP (+3) at Marshall, $52.50/$50
San Jose St. at Hawaii (-14 1H), $50/$50
You'll notice I have two first-half plays in there. Both Texas Tech and Hawaii have a tendency to start the game hot, doing most of their scoring before the half. I feel more comfortable playing only that part of the game, the theory being I can win early, instead of worrying about a late trash-time cover.
8:15pm - ADDED PLAY: If there was any doubt, I'm officially chasing now, and I'll probably still add another play on the late Hawaii game. Let's see how deep this rabbit hole goes.
Rutgers (-4 2H) at Cincinnati, $55/$50
6:30pm - ADDED PLAYS: Am I chasing a little bit? Maybe. But I also think there's value in these late-day plays, especially the Rutgers team total.
Cal at USC (-5.5), $54/$50
Rutgers (-5.5) at Cincinnati, $55/$50
Rutgers (Over 21) at Cincinnati, $120/$100
San Jose St. at Hawaii (-25), $50/$50
4:30pm - ADDED PLAY: A 1 vs. 2 Big 10 matchup scoring 42 before the half? Things should slow down after the break.
Michigan at Ohio State, Under 21.5 2H, $50/$52.50
12:35pm - ADDED PLAY: I'm taking a pair of second-half plays in the OU/Baylor game. The first half was full of turnovers and sloppy play that killed drives. That should change after intermission, with the Sooners pulling away.
Oklahoma at Baylor, Over 23.5 2H, $55/$50
Oklahoma (-10 2H) at Baylor, $51/$50
