Okay, so I'm putting some faith in Buffalo Bulls +6 --112 for 4 units — try not to roast me if it squeaks out the other way. The +6 implies this will probably be a close, maybe a little ugly game where Buffalo can lose by less than a touchdown or sneak a late win, which is exactly the kind of messy spot I'm trying to catch (responsibly).
Okay, so I’m taking Wofford Terriers +26.5 --135 and yes, that’s a pretty wide number but I’m putting 4 units on it because upsets and closer-than-expected blowouts happen more than I sometimes admit. I like the cushion here — the Terriers can lose by up to 26 points or win outright, so you’re not betting on a miracle, just that Tennessee won’t absolutely steamroll them.
