Texas Fans On Suicide Watch

Along with those who bet on them.  Two weeks in a row Texas loses in preposterous fashion.  Last week Texas missed an extra point that would have tied the game and likely sent it to overtime.  This week their punter has a perfect snap go through his hands to set Oklahoma State up for the winning field goal in the final minute of the game.

Of course, this was after a strange series of events where Texas’ defense was stymying OK State until Texas was called for a mysterious defensive holding call on a one yard run by OK State.  Coach Strong complained about the apparently horrendous call and was called for a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct.  This set OK State up for a score.

Nuts.

Friday Night Game

Chance this line may move a little more in our favor, so we’ll wait to see.  If it moves the other direction, we won’t take it.  Casual game only either way.

10:00 PM    Standford -15′    (Casual betting only.  Wait to see if line moves a little more in our favor.)

UPDATE 9/25/15 at 7:47 PM EST

Told you.  Line has dropped.

Stanford -13′   (Slightly stronger casual bet.)

Casual Betting Only

When we mark a game “Casual Betting Only”, we mean you only bet the game for the entertainment value.  You know what we mean.  There is only one or a few games on and you want to watch them even though they are not too appealing.  In order to make the game a little more palatable, you sprinkle a little cash on it.  Only an amount equal to the entertainment value you will get back on having a wager on the game, but not so much that you’ll be angry if you lose.

That is the only reason the Cinci @ Memphis game is mentioned in our Thursday Night’s Games.  Cinci’s QB situation is a mess and the reason the line jumped so much.  This is the type of game you stay away from.  Memphis could blow them out, but we’ve our own reasons for thinking Cinci will cover.  But, we wouldn’t bet on it.
