My plays tonight:

New Mexico +4 I am pretty much fading Bob Toledo and the true freshman QB on the road. Bob Toledo is a moron.

Wazoo +17 Stanford hasn't faced a passing offense yet, and Halliday is tearing it up this year. Shaw is an ultra conservative coach too, so I see this game being close. As long as Wazoo doesn't shoot themselves in the foot too many times they will be competitive.

I think I'm gonna go with the New Mexico ML at +160 vs. New Mexico +4 at -110. I'm saving $70 at risk $$$ and losing only 3 points.

I'm new to this betting thing though, so is my logic decent? Lol

I wanted to take Wazzu, but Stanford is a poor matchup for their finesse offense.

Stanford beat them 55-17 last year in Seattle... they should be pissed off, too. Personally, I suppose I would take the Cougs gun-to-head but I wouldn't be bullish about it.

So having my money (- juice) covered if New Mexico loses by 1, 2, 3, 4 points is worth taking the +4 @ -110.

Your play is more risky but I don't think it's necessarily -EV.

Get in the habit of taking the points. The lines are spot on the majority of the time, but if you feel that confident in a NM straight up win go for it.

Think I am playing this. Also tend to think if they keep it within the spread that it will go over 53.

Not necessarily. I read an article a while back that over the last couple decades in betting the NFL, it's been more profitable to bet underdog MLs than underdog spreads because of how rare it is for an underdog to cover a spread but not win the game straight up.

But in your case it's 4. I'd take the points.

No doubt in my mind that I am playing the over.

NFL lines are so much tighter though. Rarely do you see two or more double digit dogs in the NFL in a weekend.

Actually you should be thinking the opposite of this. If they DONT keep it within the spread that it should go over.
