Labor Day Plays

America's day to stay home and gamble on football!

Since I'm behind for the weekend (thanks Mack Brown!), I've decided to pour some money into the Texas Tech-SMU matchup. Trying to "get even" on Monday is typically not where you want to be, but I really like a number of plays in this game:

Texas Tech -8 vs SMU 2 units

I also have Tech at -9.5 for 1 unit so I was thrilled to see that the line had dropped for me. Here's a factoid for you: Tech is 11-o vs SMU since '89 winning every game by double digits (avg margin of victory is 27 ppg).

Texas Tech Team Total over 34.5 1 unit

Tech put up 35 against SMU with an inexperienced QB last year. With Graham Harrell back and an experienced group of WRs, I don't see them missing a beat this year against a very poor SMU defense.

Other plays today:

FSU -3 vs Clemson 1 unit

How big of a hire was Jimbo Fisher? We'll see tonight as Drew Weatherford leads the Seminoles into Clemson. I like the offseason coaching changes for the 'Noles and look for improved play at QB which will be the difference.

Parlay of the day (aka Lyle's lottery selection):

Texas Tech -6.5, Texas Tech/SMU over 60, FSU -0.5 $5 to win $21.59
