THE PLAY: Texas -11.0 (-110)
Take Texas (#174)
The ‘Daily Double’ video below breaks down a pair of College Football Saturday early start games in the SEC: LSU vs Mississippi State and Florida vs Texas. Here’s a brief write-up for the Longhorns - Gators battle.
Florida is in a world of hurt right now and it’s not going to get any easier heading into Austin to face the former #1 team in the country coming off a ‘we gave it to them’ loss to Oklahoma last Saturday. The Gators went 4-8 last year, and have been blown out in back-2-back games; not exactly bursting with confidence these days. They’re likely to be without injured starting QB Aaron Philo. Unlike Texas, Florda hasn’t had a bye yet. Expect that to matter in the second half here…. Take Texas.
THE PLAY: Washington +3.5 (-110)
Take Washington (#119)
The ‘Daily Double’ video below breaks down a pair of Friday Night TV Games: Purdue vs Washington on Fox and Memphis vs Tulane on ESPN. Here’s a brief write-up for Purdue- Washington.
I’m a Barry Odom fan and I watched what he did here in Las Vegas — turning a UNLV program that had been mediocre at best for three decades into an immediate winner. But the Big 10 isn’t the Mountain West. Odom’s Boilermakers are coming off back-2-back upset wins — fat and happy — now laying more than a field goal. And Jedd Fisch’s Huskies grade out as the team with more talent. Even if starting QB Demond Williams can’t suit up (questionable as I post this), his backup can play! Too many points. Take Washington.
THE PLAY: Seattle Seahawks -3.0 (-102)
Take Seattle (#109)
Since the start of the 2025 campaign, Seattle is 100% perfect ATS when coming off a loss, like the one they suffered last Sunday to the 49ers. Plain and simple – Mike McDonald’s track record tells us clearly that he gets ‘em ready and focused off an ‘L’. Seattle at -3 or lower (including as an underdog)? 8-1 ATS in their last nine tries, the only loser coming by a half point against the spread. Denver was trailing by a TD in the fourth quarter against the Chargers last week before LA’s failed fourth down conversion in their own territory was followed by back-2-back turnovers – the Chargers lost that game every bit as much (if not more) than the Broncos won it. Denver is a home dog here for good reason – they’re not the better of these two teams. Take the Seahawks

Consultant Bio
Ted Sevransky (better known as Teddy Covers) moved to Las Vegas to bet on sports full-time back in 1998 and he's been doing it successfully ever since. During that time, Teddy has been featured prominently in the mainstream press. Print highlights include the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Boston Globe, Las Vegas Review Journal and Playboy magazine. Television highlights include CBS This Morning, CNBC, PBS and Bloomberg TV. Teddy starred in the recent sports betting documentary Life on the Line and has been featured in an ESPN 30-for-30 and on Showtime's 'Action' miniseries.
Teddy is a 1992 University of Michigan graduate. His handicapping approach is fine tuned for the modern betting marketplace in 2025; a market that is dominated by stat-based quants - the ‘sharp money’. In one sentence, Teddy looks to identify and identify and isolate 'morphing' teams -- teams that are currently playing at a different level or pace (better or worse; faster or slower) than their long term statistical profile would indicate. Those become teams to bet on, bet against, bet over and bet under, until the quants catch up with current realities and value them correctly.
This ‘Ride the Hot & Fade the Cold’ approach has allowed Teddy to provide for himself and his family with steady income from his sports betting winnings, over nearly three decades. And those decades of experience grinding it out in Vegas enables Teddy to avoid many of the traps and pitfalls that befall ‘cappers. Experience DOES matter in this business. Teddy is one bettor who can handle the highs and lows of this sometimes zany and always exciting business with consistent, calm professionalism.
