Betting football games successfully often comes down to finding the best numbers. The best time to do that is on Sundays, when gamblers can recognize bad lines and take advantage before the numbers move in the opposite direction.
Our Christopher Smith routinely fires down early and way more often than not, ends up holding tickets that are several points better than where the lines is come Tuesday or Wednesday and beyond.
Here’s a look at his early selections that he played yesterday:
Notice the exclamation point after his play on Iowa State +15 at Oklahoma. Since Matt Campbell took over in Ames, the Sooners are 2-1 straight up but 0-3 against the spread when taking on the Cyclones.
In 2016, OU beat ISU 34-24 as a 20.5-point road favorite. The Cyclones pulled a shocker in ’17 by going into Norman and capturing a 38-31 victory over the undefeated and third-ranked Sooners as 31-point road underdogs.
Then last year in Ames, Oklahoma won a 37-27 decision as an 18.5-point road ‘chalk.’
Therefore, Iowa State has beaten the closing numbers by 57 combined points on Campbell’s watch. Furthermore, the Cyclones own an 8-4 spread record in their past 12 games as road underdogs.
Finally, you’ll also see Christopher’s selection on UL-Lafayette. The Ragin’ Cajuns share the nation’s best against-the-spread record with Ohio State (7-1 ATS!).
