Week 6 Two Team Teaser Review and Week 7 Two Team Teaser (4-3 +0.2 units):
Week 6:
Texas (ML) vs Oklahoma
Texas Tech at 7 Oklahoma State (-2.5)
(B+7) -140
Texas absolutely crushes Oklahoma, easy win. Oklahoma State pulls one out and covers the original -9.5. Lots of offense in that game. Oklahoma State’s defense needs some work if they want to continue to be in the top 10.
Week 7:
10 Penn State at 5 Michigan (ML)
7 USC (+10.5) at 20 Utah
(B+7) -140
Rational:
First off. What a week do we have in college football. 6 games of ranked teams playing each other. Gonna need 15 TVs on Saturday. Was thinking about teasing the Illini down to ML here, but with the uncertainty behind DeVito playing and Isiah Williams out, don’t love our chances. If DeVito doesn’t play, this game is over before it starts. Because of all the great top 25 matchups, I wanted the teaser to be in those games although there were others I considered. Clemson only being -3.5 at FSU is surprising, I thought they’d be around -7. I chose Michigan because although this will be a great tight game, it is at Michigan, which of course is a home field advantage but not having to play at Penn State is way better. Even though this is the best team Michigan has played, Penn State still has Sean Clifford at QB and I like Michigan to win here. Next we move onto USC at Utah. I thought this line would be closer to even. Utah is a tough place to play but UCLA handled them pretty well. I think USC wins outright, butI don’t see them losing by 2 scores. We’ll take the points. Enjoy the games.
