Over the first six weeks of the season, I highlighted the 10 trickiest situational spots I had circled on each Saturday. With conference play now in full swing, those have started to dwindle – but I did still identify seven worth noting for Week 7.
Ultimately, the actual spread value still reigns supreme. No matter how great a situational spot appears on paper, you still have to factor in how much value the number holds. A good or bad spot may sway me one way or the other on a bet I’m on the fence for, but it’s certainly more art than science.
Hopefully, I can help you make one or two of those same tough wagering decisions while sharing some key angles, matchups and injury situations for each particular game.
Let’s kick things off with a pair of noon Big 12 kicks featuring two teams that played each other last week.
