Sunday 1st December
We bounced back yesterday. With the Beavers covering comfortably and nearly getting it done outright. Spurs are showing no signs of slowing down either covering our -10.5 line. Today College Football is the Focus with alot of games already underway. There is alot of Bowl eligability implacations on the line. Here's some freebies for your Sunday card's.
Texas A&M at Missouri
Missouri is the Top dog in the SEC east while Texas A&M can finish no better than 4th. Both teams have the firepower on Offense but Missouri has the Defense. This line looks off by a couple of points. Probably because the general public in America love to bet the glamour team and Heisman winning Quarterback Johnny Football.
Last week Missouri's Red zone defense was amazing. Allowing only one field goal in 3 attempts against Ole Miss. Missouri should be able to apply pressure all day to Johnny Manziel who looked very average last week.
BET ON: Missouri -4,0
One more freebie
ARIZONA +10.5
NBA
Atlanta at Washington
This is a let down spot for the hawks. After staging a huge comeback win last night against Dallas they now have to play a Washington team that had a poor effort yesterday in Indiana. Still a few injuries in Atlanta. Wizards bounce back victory today. The books are begging for Atlanta tickets at +3. Dont let them suck you in.
BET ON: Wahington Wizards -3.0
Take note: The above tip is simply the author’s opinion, so bet at your own risk and always bet responsibly. Happy punting!
