    Longhorn Picks

    Howdy Ya'll.

    I'm new to this forum so starting a bit late. None the less I'll try and post my best ideas and see what happens when stacked up against the very esteemed pickers on this board.

    Took me a while to track down CPAW again and glad I found this site.

    I college football this week two plays jump out:

    Texas Tech - 17 over Kansas

    As a Big XII alum I can say that Kansas is just awful. Texas Tech and the air raid offense on the other side are really good. I'll take an angry Tech team after what should have been a W against OK. St. against a porous Kansas secondary.

    Miami - 3 over FSU

    This is all about emotion. 18 year old kids need to be excited to Amy at their best. Richt will have his team fired up after years of getting pounded by FSU. The Noles O line has more holes than Midland Odessa has oil wells so expecting a rough day for FSU

    Would love to hear any contrary opinions.

    Adding Texas A&M +15.5 1H only

    Historically A&M has run with Alabama for the first 2 quarters. At home in Kyle Field with the 12th man active I'm thinking Sumlin and his boys have a lot to prove. As much as I hate the Aggies, I think they stay close in the 1st H.

    To recap 3 Plays for tomorrow:

    - Texas Tech -17 over Kansas (this line has moved down to -15 and I actually got my ticket at -14 by buying 1/2 point). None the less, was -17 when I made the post so stand behind it.
    - Miami -3 (play of the day)
    - Texas A&M +15.5 1H only against the Crimson Tide

    No doubt. That FSU-Miami game was much closer than I anticipated. Very surprised that Miami could not move the ball in the 1st half. Good week so far. We'll see if I can keep it up or not.

    Starting to look at Week 7 games. One game jumps out at me immediately. A very strong play on:

    North Texas +3 over UTSA

    This line makes no sense to me whatsoever. Two small schools probably with little betting action gives us great line value here. UNT is a very good football team. Their two losses were to Iowa and SMU both of which are non-conference and very strong opponents. UTSA on the other hand just started conference play and immediately tanked last week losing to Southern Miss. UNT beat Southern Miss 43-28 two weeks ago. The UTSA "signature win" was over a very weak Baylor squad at the beginning of the year so I discount the value of that W. Their other opponents were all cupcakes (Tx State and Southern) which they won easily.

    This is a flat out line mismatch as UNT should win easily. I'm backing up the truck on this one while the line is still healthy in UNT's favor.

    More later.

    I like to make my plays early to get the best lines. Once the touts release saturday AM and the degenerates wake up and get to the window you never know what is going to happen. My plays for Week 7 are:

    North Texas +3 over UTSA ( I realize line is down to +2 or +2.5 today but was at +3 yesterday when I posted and my ticket is at +3)
    Auburn -7 over LSU (everyone thinks LSU is back just because they beat a mediocre Florida team)
    Michigan State - 4 over Minnesota (PJ FLeck will not be able to row the boat against the Sparty defense)

    Good luck to all

    Adding two more games for tomorrow. Total card for the week is:

    Western Ky -7 (Loss)
    Marshall - 1 (Win)
    Michigan State -6.5
    Kentucky +12
    West Virginia -9

    Top play is on West Virginia. Baylor is terrible on defense and has lost to their quality opponents by double digits. West Virginia has gotten their act together and are a very good offensive team. Will be really hard for Baylor to play from behind so I expect at least a two touchdown difference in the final score.

    THanks guys. Let's see what happens. Figuring out which set of 18 years olds are going to show up hung over vs. which will show up ready to play is never easy :-)
