The play is college football, Cure Bowl, UTSA-Troy over 56½ and Thunder-Timberwolves in NBA.
Troy and UTSA are playing in the first college football bowl game of the season. The Trojans are the defending champions. UTSAs quarterback Frank Harris is the best player in college. Troy's defense is better than UTASA's, but the Roadrunners have a better passing team.
The play is Thunder -2.5 over Timberwolves in NBA.
Timberwolves-Thunder is a spot play. Thunder has been home since Monday and has played just one game since. Minnesota is finishing a five-game road trip. Timberwolves have struggled recently, especially in December.
NFL: Seahawks +3.5 over 49ers (LOST $36). NBA: Suns -5. 5 at Clippers (WON $10).
Total for 2022 is +$250.90 (327-347). If a team is -160 on the money line, one would have to bet $160 to win $100. If the team's odds are -110, it would be $110 to place the bet.
On positive lines, $100 would bring in $140 on Team C's money line.
