Week 5 Two Team Teaser Review and Week 6 Two Team Teaser (3-3 -0.8 units):
Week 5:
LSU (-2.5) at Auburn
1 Georgia (-22) at Missouri
(B+6) -120
LSU with a nice comeback win over Auburn, however it did not matter as Georgia looked bad for the second week in a row. I was on Mizzou moneyline after the first quarter but they couldn’t hold on. Georgia starting to look very beatable compared to what we saw the first couple of weeks.
Week 6:
Texas (ML) vs Oklahoma
Texas Tech at 7 Oklahoma State (-2.5)
(B+7) -140
Rational:
Well, we are 0-2 last two weeks. Let’s hop back in the win column this week. We are sticking with the Big 12 here. I would have loved to take Kentucky and go against Spencer Rattler once again, but with Levis injured and not sure if he’ll play, we’re gonna stay away. Red River Shootout. Always a great game, always fun to take the over as well. Only Big 12 game this weekend to not feature one ranked team. OU QB, Gabriel is most likely not playing, and Texas QB, Quinn Ewers should be playing. Even if Quinn was not going to play I still like Texas to win here. OU has struggled the past couple games, their defense looks atrocious. These rivalry games are always close, but I think Texas pulls this one out, with Ewers or not. Oklahoma State looked dominant last week, and has looked good all season. Baylor was the first test they had and they handled them well. After watching both Oklahoma State and Tech play a couple games, I think Oklahoma State gets the job done at home.
