Betting the Big 12: Week 6

I can’t believe we’re already at the half way point of the regular season. We’ve officially hit the best month on the sports calendar though. October is officially the beginning of fall, soup season, football almost every day, playoff baseball, and even more football. This month is also going to be Rocctober. The Cyclones are going to hit their stride. Just like I am about to hit my stride. What I’ve learned in the first 5 weeks of the season is that I stink at handicapping games. It’s been rough out there, especially when Iowa State gives up 50 points and doesn’t score in the 2nd half in Norman. Also when TCU is favored by 2 touchdowns so I trick myself into betting the wrong side instead of taking my gut. That’s the strategy for the rest of this year. There’s lots of games left, and from now on, I’m just going with my gut. If you, dear reader, have followed me this long, stick with me a little longer.
