There are revenge factors from the previous years meeting that you need to explore, and also there are allot of intra-state rivalries. A good example of this is the Texas and Oklahoma game every year. Both these teams have been battling in this contest, called the Red River War, for a long time. There is a huge emphasis on this game at both schools. It even takes on more importance now that both teams are in the Big 12 Southern division. The underdog in this series going into this year’s game was 10-5 ATS the last 15. Until Bob Stoops took over this OU team, the underdog was 9-2 ATS. OU has owned Mac Brown and Texas but as the gap gets narrower, the spread is getting wider, as OU was favored 4 1/2 in 2004 and won by over 40 points. This game is circled every year on my schedule because oddsmakers make it a tight line, yet OU is dominating the series the last 4 years, and I am finding opportunity with this series. In 2005, when Texas was on their way to winning a national title, REVENGE was apparent, and they laid a HUGE number in this game, and covered with ease, thus folloing trends and knowing revnege factors paid HUGE dividends. My Game of the Year 3 out of last 4 years has come out of this game and I have cashed them all! That is 12 Units of winners out of 1 conference game in 3 years of unloading on it.
