Redneck High

It was a pretty decent day in college football for me yesterday, although the record itself doesn't really show that. I went 8-9 on the day, but my big bets came in winners and some of the losers were small wons. It turned out that I made a decent profit.

It could have been a fantastic day if a few tiny things had gone the other way:
* I had Texas Tech with a team total of Over 44.5. They finished at 42, with a scoreless third quarter.
* I had Hawaii with a team total of Over 52.5. They finished at 52, with a scoreless fourth quarter.
* Tulsa gave up a game-winning touchdown to UTEP with less than a minute to play. One defense stand would have been a winner.

I've got a handful of NFL plays working today. Let's hope my winning percentage there stays high.

I'm adding a few second-half plays for the afternoon NFL games, all just single-unit wagers:

It was a good day in the NFL, going 6-2 in my picks. I'm going try and keep the roll going with a couple of second-half plays in tonight's lone college game, New Mexico State at Boise State. Both are actually just third-quarter plays, because Boise has a 35-0 lead at the half, but I don't think they'll call off the dogs until a couple of scores into that third period.
