College Football Pick Of The Day – Missouri @ Texas – Who Covers The Spread
FiveStarPick.com is entering another unprecendented Saturday of college football and will be giving its members 8 plays today. The most talked about play being tonight’s game between the Missouri Tigers and the Texas Longhorns. Las Vegas sportsbooks opened the Longhorns as 7 point home favorites. The betting public has moved the line down to 4 with the total set at 67.
The Tigers have one of the most explosive offenses in the Big XII, but it got a wake-up call last weekend as they lost at home to Oklahoma State, 28-23. FiveStarPick gave its members OK State, thank you very much. Chase Daniel threw 3 interceptions in the 2nd half after having only one pick for the year prior to the Cowboy game. The Tigers are going to be taking on a Longhorns’ defense that is even faster than what they saw last week. But Missouri uses the Spread Offense, which in the past has given the Horns’ secondary fits. As a matter of fact, the Texas defense gives up an average 267.8 yards through the air.
Mizzou also has a good defense only allowing 21.3 points per game this season, but their numbers can cut both ways. For example, look at their pass defense which is giving up 270.5 passing YPG. Texas should be able to throw for major yards against the Missouri D-Backs and Safteys under Heisman hopeful Colt McCoy. In McCoy’s last outing against the Sooners he proved time and time again that the comeback was possible. The Longhorns were down 14-3 and 21-10 at different stages of the game, but McCoy completed 80 percent of his passes for 277 yards to notch the victory both straight up and against the spread. Oh, by the way, we gave our members Texas last week, plus the 7.
Now…let’s talk trends. In Texas’ last 8 meetings with Mizzou the ‘Horns are 7-1 SU, but the Tigers are 5-2 ATS. In 2008, Mack Brown’s club has covered the number in all six of their games despite an average spread of 21.
So who covers the spread in today’s game? Why not let FiveStarPick.com help you with the answer? Aren’t you tired of getting cold called by services that tell you about their 750,000 star play that’s a guaranteed winner. Here is a bit of advice…NOTHING is guaranteed when you are betting on sports. These so called “handicappers” call 500 people on a Saturday morning and give them all a free play; 250 people will get Texas -4 and 250 will get Missouri +4. After the game ends, they call back the 250 people who won and pitch them on charging thousands of dollars on their credit cards for more guaranteed winners. We are not your typical sports handicapping service. We care about our members and we live and die on every play. Why? Because we are moving thousands of dollars of our own money on the same plays we give you. Gambling on sports is how we make our living. Do we win every play? Absolutely not and we will never pretend to. Our plays are always posted for all to see, including our losing streaks. But by the end of the year we always seem to have a few hundred thousand dollars of the sportsbook’s money in our casino account. Let us try and do the same for you. Join our family of winners today and start your winning streak tonight.
