Redneck High

The Division I-AA championship worked out nicely for me last night, going 2-0-1 (and would have been 3-0 had the Delaware kicked not shanked an easy field goal in the first quarter). The Division III game would probably be a lot of fun to watch if it could be found on TV. Mount Union is to DIII football what the Yankees of the 1920s and 1950s were to baseball: they dominate in a big way year after year.

I expect those Purple Raiders to romp in their championship game, but I'll try and cut the numbers down just a bit and play a teaser that makes me feel good about the lines on both ends.

I've also got a play on tonight's NFL game. I'm considering adding another bet on the 49ers team total Under 17.5, but the juice on that is way higher than I like right now.

ACTION: 12/15

TEASER: DIII Champ.: Mount Union (-13.5) vs. Wisconsin-Whitewater & Over 46.5
Bengals (-8) at 49ers

I'm tacking on a couple of very small (less than a third of a unit) third-quarter plays for the Division III game. Not so much because I love the plays (hence the small amounts bet), but because there looks to be good value in the lines offered — both would pay more than was wagered. It's pretty obvious I'm going to lose my original teaser bet, but I like my chances to offset a portion of that loss with wins from one or both of these. And if they both lose, neither are large enough to cause any pain.

The 49ers are playing way over their heads on both sides of the ball so far. I like Cincy's chances to score at least a pair of touchdowns in the second half, so I'll jump on that bet.

Bengals (team Over 14 2H) at 49ers
