Strength of schedule is always an important variable to take into consideration when betting college football games. The Quack Attack of Oregon is a good football squad, but who have they played? Another important variable to take into consideration in NCAA football wagering are “key numbers”. These are common final score margins. The number 17 is one of the most common margins and as you can see by this Week 6 point spread, the bookies have conveniently built in a nice cushion for themselves with the +18. It’s Cal or nothing here.

Chicago Bears vs. Oakland Raiders Pick 10/6/19
Helter Skelter takes effect Sunday as crazy variables galore are in play here including the Raiders winning at Indy last week, Chase Daniel in for the injured Mitchell Trubisky and the game being played in London. Grab a crumpet and consider wagering on the under as games across the pond are generally lower scoring in nature.
Week 6 Pick: Washington Huskies vs. Stanford Cardinal
The Pac 12 has turned into quite the wonky conference over the past few years where literally anything can happen on any given night (except for in this case). The pass-happy Huskies are absolutely going to destroy a Stanford team that has the worst secondary in the conference and who barely beat the pathetic Oregon State Beavers last week. The bookies are trying to bait bettors with a nice hook at +14.5, but it’s not enough to warrant investing your money.
Central Florida Knights vs. Cincinnati Bearcats Pick 10/4/19
A whopping 72% are wagering on the University of Central Florida Friday night at Cincinnati and the line has moved a measly half point. This should tell you something! Cinci is a LIVE DOG here! A GOOD college football team playing in a BIG game at home in a featured spot. Upset alert!
New Mexico Lobos vs. San Jose Spartans Pick 10/4/19
In a game most wouldn’t usually bet, all eyes will be seeking value and betting on these two turds Friday night as they’ll be the late college football game on CBSSN. One edge in play is that home field advantage and travel carry more value in NCAA football with regards to winning games and beating spreads. In this case, the Lobos were in Virginia last week and now have to travel to California. New Mexico has been outscored by 29 points per game in their two road contests this season.
TNF Pick: Los Angeles Rams vs. Seattle Seahawks Analysis & Predictions
Confidence in the Rams has seemingly plummeted after they lost by fifteen points as a nine point home favorite to Tampa Bay Sunday. The opening line for this TNF matchup opened with the Rams as -2 favorites and within 24 hours has moved four points to Seattle -2.
Temple Owls vs. East Carolina Pirates Pick 10/3/19
Temple rebounded nicely from their shocking 38-24 defeat to Buffalo as a -14 point spread road favorite to knock off Georgia Tech 24-2. Owls backers will have to lay double digits on the road again when they travel to East Carolina to take on the Pirates. ECU is fresh off their only victory against a FBS team this season beating lowly Old Dominion.
Seattle Seahawks vs. Arizona Cardinals Pick 9/29/19
The Arizona Cardinals can’t stop the run and can’t stop the pass. Can Seattle rebound off a home loss to the Saints in which they seemingly did everything wrong? Loot has the cover!
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Los Angeles Rams Pick 9/29/19
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers come to the Coliseum on Sunday for a week four NFC showdown against the unbeaten Los Angeles Rams. You have to feel for Tampa, right on the precipice of going to 2-1 against the Giants before a 34-yard field goal sailed right. What will their mindset be?
Los Angeles Chargers vs. Miami Dolphins Week 4 Pick
The Miami Dolphins have been an absolute train wreck. They gave the Cowboys a game last week but folded like a cheap tent in the second half. The Chargers have been guilty of “playing down to their competition” in the past, but can the Phins be taken seriously after only scoring ONE touchdown this season? They’ve been outscored 133-16 this season!
