SPORTS WAGERS/RANDALL the HANDLE - Late Pick of the Day
Texas St. +36½ -105 over HOUSTON
8:00 pm. EST
Generally, we usually avoid games like this but this number is so inflated that we can't walk by. We’re all about value and this one has neon lights all over it.
Houston went 7-0 against the number a year ago when favored by more than three TD’s but this team is a fraction of the Case Keenum-led squad that finished 13-1. More than 50% of the offense is gone and so is head coach Kevin Sumlin. The Cougars still have plenty of offensive talent but there’s an adjustment period with a new coach and system and a big blowout in their first game is a bit of a stretch.
Texas State begins a new era, converting from an FCS team to a FBS team in the WAC division. This veteran club is well aware of the better opportunities that come with that and they’ll be ready. This number is more indicative of how these teams would have matched up last season, as is often the case in week one of college football. In lends an opportunity that would not have been available later in this season.
