Kansas State +6 over Texas Tech - At 4-6, Kansas State can still achieve bowl eligibility by defeating Texas Tech at home this week and Iowa State on the road next week. Bill Snyder’s performance as a betting underdog has been well chronicled in recent years: Kansas State is 34-14 against the spread (ATS) as a dog (71 percent) since the start … [Read more...]
Texas Tech +2 over Texas _ After ascending to No. 6 in the polls in mid-October, the Texas Longhorns have fallen on hard times, losing two straight close games at Oklahoma State (38-35) and on home soil to West Virginia (42-41). The Longhorns are certainly an improved football team, but were overrated at No. 6 and now travel to Lubbock to play a … [Read more...]

Navy +13.5 over Cincinnati - Navy was a double digit favorite las year and is a double digit dog this year. The Middies are 2-6 on the season; on a five-game losing streak; and desperately needing something good to happen.

Texas-Oklahoma State Under 62 - This year’s Oklahoma State squad is certainly not one of Mike Gundy’s finer productions. The Cowboys are 4-3 on the season, but, more importantly, just 1-3 in Big XII action, having lost both of their conference home games outright as the betting favorite to Texas Tech (41-17) and Iowa State (48-42). Oklahoma … [Read more...]
TCU +8 over Oklahoma - Take away Oklahoma’s season-opening blasting of Florida Atlantic and the Sooners’ power rating puts them on the fringe of college football’s Top 15. The Sooners clearly have major issues on defense, firing long-time defensive coordinator Mike Stoops following their 48-45 loss to Texas two weeks ago. Former East … [Read more...]
Kansas State +7 over Oklahoma State - Mike Gundy-coached teams typically overachieve and exceed the public’s expectations, but 2018 has clearly not been his grandest production. Oklahoma State is 4-2 on the season and has uncharacteristically dropped two straight conference games at home, losing to Texas Tech (41-17) and Iowa State … [Read more...]
Texas +7.5 over Oklahoma - For the second straight year the Texas Longhorns got their 2018 season off to a dubious start by losing to Maryland as a double digit favorite. Since being sidetracked by the Terps, however, the Longhorns have made positive strides, most notably under center where one-time mistake-prone quarterback Sam Ehlinger has now … [Read more...]
TCU -10.5 over Iowa State - Many handicappers would shy away from wagering hard-earned, pre-taxed dollars on a staggering squad sporting a two-game losing streak. But, sometimes in this business, it is wise to bob when others weave and vice versa. I believe Saturday’s Big XII matchup pitting TCU against Iowa State is such an occasion. The … [Read more...]
Texas Tech-Oklahoma State Over 76 College totals in the 70s can be difficult for many handicappers to dissect. Some shy away without a second glance, convincing themselves there are better options on the board. It’s no secret that the Big XII is known for its fast-paced, high-scoring offenses, and these two border rivals are perhaps the best … [Read more...]
