NOTE: I post openers on Twitter on Sunday without writeup so please follow my twitter account @jimmysingh9.  I have had closing line value of close to 2 points on all plays posted on average so please follow and look for plays around Sunday evening. I am not a huge advocator of closing line value but the majority of plays that I post move in my favour, so if you wait, you will not be able to get them. Most lines are available at BetOnline and 5dimes, two reputable sportsbooks.

 

Great week last week. Hit my first big play of the year rather easily with Auburn rolling LSU. That game was never in doubt and you know you are doing something right when the big read comes in easy.

 

Plays

 

Texas +14 vs Oklahoma risking $440 to win $400(you can get a better # at the moment at 14.5)

Red River Shootout here and what I learned from this game last year was don’t discount the underdog as bad as they have played. Last year Texas came in walking wounded and really nothing to play for and gave Mack Brown one last hurrah before leaving by dominating the Sooners. Now alot of things are going the Sooners way here including revenge and Stoops ATS record off a straight up loss but the Texas defense has been playing superb keeping UCLA and Baylor below their averages and I think they will keep this one tight and have an easy cover here. Its just too many points for this rivalry and Charlie Strong is going to continue to put his footprint on this team and the defense will get stronger and stronger as the year progresses and hopefully Swoopes doesn’t make too many errors to cost us this one.

 

Clemson -6.5 vs Louisville risking $405 to win $300 (line not available and won’t bet at current)

 

I am not gonna write much about this one because the line is long gone. What I will say is we are close to 2 months in the season and I really don’t want to hear someone complaining about where I got this line. I have written every week that BetOnline and 5dimes has openers Sunday night. In this day and age, you probably have some sort of internet access at the palm of your hand. If you don’t, you probably should rethink spending your money on betting and save up. But if you want to be serious about winning money through gambling, you need to be prepared just like any other avenue of revenue. At this point, you can only blame yourself for not getting on these plays. All it takes is watching a twitter feed around 6pmish, logging into your account on your phone and placing a bet. BetOnline and 5dimes have limits roughly of $500 per bet and you should be able to get your bets in. If you are betting big money, send me a DM through twitter and we can talk.

 

FIU +12.5  at UTSA risking $330 to win $300 (don’t bet below 10)

Here is a game I liked alot when it first came out. I tweeted this one out midweek so almost every book should have this line. This is too many points for a UTSA team that struggles to score. They just haven’t been able to replace their QB from last year and aren’t the type of team to blow teams out of the water. On the other side, you have a FIU team trending upwards. They are playing better defense and their offense is starting to kick it up a gear and I see FIU with a chance to win this one. I see their defense being able to hold UTSA down for most of this game and this should be a tight one throughout.

 

Florida St -23.5 at Syracuse risking $210 to win $200 (only bet till 23.5, line available)

 

This one I liked alot at the opener of 19 but failed to hit it. Once news came out that Terrel Hunt was going to be out for Syracuse, I hit this one up. I am not sure how Syracuse scores in this game. Their offense cannot move the ball and now without their best player on offense who could move the ball with his legs at times, they are gonna have a tough time moving the ball.  I see Florida St slowly pulling away in the 1st half forcing Syracuse to have to pass the ball and creating turnovers and short fields for the Noles. I also like that backup QB Sean Macguire now has experience and can get some scores in mopup if we need one. Syracuse also doesn’t have an explosive offense to hit the backdoor which should help.  A couple things against the Noles, Rashad Green and Karlos Williams might be out which is a blow. Much less Williams because there is probably a horse backing him up that should be able to run effectively. Losing Greene hurts and Fisher should rest his guys with a huge game vs Notre Dame on deck.

 

San Diego St -4 at New Mexico FRIDAY risking $214 to win $200  (dont bet over 4, try to get a 3 if you can)

 

I wasn’t really looking at this game until the line dropped to my range. One thing popped out at me. New Mexico’s run defense. It is very bad. This should help San Diego St be able to move the ball with their freshman QB under center. Pumphrey is a good enough back to take advantage of the UNM defense here. Add that Rocky Long owns this rivalry regardless of what side he coaches and I have SDSt winning by  TD.

 

West Virginia -6 at Texas Tech risking $214 to win $200 (dont bet over 6.5)

 

This one has me scratching my head and has me worried but I decided to fire on this. This line should be a little bit higher, Texas Tech has just looked bad and cannot stop anyone and in comes a high powered offense here and it just looks funny to me. But West Virginia has an edge all over the football field, better offense, better defense, better special teams. Their 2 losses come to Oklahoma and Alabama and they were right there in both of them. I think WVU wins this easy but the line has got me worried.
