Week 5, Day 5

I liked them all week and shoud have bet them before the line moved to 17. It bothers me that some guy has to tout this as his InterGalactic Game of the Millennium, which almost took me off this game, but the guy is a good capper and I liked this game before he even mentioned it, so I gotta take:

Miami Hurricanes -17, laying $101 to win $100

Reasoning:

I don't care what Houston's record is. Generally speaking, Miami shuts downs one-dimensional teams and have also been a good bounce-back team after getting embarrassed and they also have had 2 weeks to prepare for this game.

Week 5: 3-2, +$192
Week 4: 3-6, +$110
Week 3: 3-3, -$575
Week 2: 5-3, +$306 (did win $509 on the Mansion free bet & hedge)
Week 1: 5-1, +$913

2 Miami turnovers turns this game into a loss. I will chase it with:

UTEP -17, laying $110 to win $100

Reasoning:

UTEP off 2 losses in a row and an Away game and NM St. cannot stop anybody. Potential for a thrashing although the public being all over UTEP worries me and the line and the juice has been skyrocketing at Pinnacle the last 15 minutes or so and I had to go to another shop (a dime line shop) just to get -10 juice on UTEP. But I'll stick with my original instincts here and call for the blowout.
