Something I look for when making bets...

Teams who have been **** on and coaches who need their fan base to get off their back are much more likely to run up the score against a hapless opponent and cover a spread.

The Mizzou Tigers, whom I wagered largely on last week and beat the snot out of Idaho, travel to the worst pass defense in the country as a 13 point favorite. Mizzou also lost to UCONN last year. I expect Mizzou and Drew Locke to put up 40+ on a very mediocre UCONN Team. Furthermore, if the opportunity arises I expect Mizzou to pile on as they’ve been **** on essentially the entire season.

Take this information and use it however you see fit.

Thanks for the tip. Betting on big road favorites in meaningless games is usually not a good policy, but your reasoning is very sound here. Outside of getting ambushed by a Purdue team that is better than people thought they would be, none of Missouri's performances this season have been as shockingly bad as people seem to think. They are well capable of covering that spread at UConn.

Its the time of year when checking out the weather reports for these midwest, northwest and northeastern games can become helpful.

No kidding. I'll never forget betting Northwestern at Penn State in 1996, turning on the tv to see a blinding snow storm. Spoiler alert: Northwestern got kilt.

Memphis passed all over UConn a few weeks ago. I'm sure they will do the same
