Two Touchy Home Favorites
We are going to look at a very specific group here, games where the home team is essentially a 2 TD favorite. Everyone is playing opponents from their own conference.
- Akron (1-7) @ Miami OH (3-5)
- Louisville (4-4) @ West Virginia (6-2)
- Duke (3-5) @ Miami FL (4-4)
- Vanderbilt (4-4) @ Florida (4-4)
- Texas Tech (5-3) @ Texas (5-2)
- Texas A&M (5-3) @ Oklahoma (7-1)
Miami OH, West Virginia, and Oklahoma clearly have better records than their opponents. Miami FL, Florida, and Texas have reputations. Can you think of many trios more frequently backed by the betting public? If you can, I bet Notre Dame is involved. As coincidences would have it, ND is also a 2 TD favorite this week…on the road against a team with an identical record of all things. I’ll post the final scores of these games next week.
