Beating the books in football takes patience and above all knowing when a matchup is in your favor. As soon as last week's action ended the "experts" hit the airwaves and told everyone what happened and why it happened. No where did you hear why they failed to select the correct team. For the most part their failure was not understanding the matchups nor researching the proper angles that put selections in the favor of the bettor. After researching this weeks full card of action I have decided to share with you the best angles with which to wager. Keep in mind that other factors need to be considered but these matchups will certainly point you in the right direction and prime you for a successful week #4.
