College Football Picks

One has to wonder about the Iowa Hawkeyes after mustering up a whopping seven points vs. South Dakota State last week! They’ll play intrastate rival Iowa State for the coveted Cy-Hawk Trophy. The current spread is sitting at IA -3.5 with an over/under of 41.5. This game has the smell of an extremely low scoring game! Get our ISU/IA prediction here!

In one of Week 2’s more exciting games, the Houston Cougars make the short trip to Lubbock to challenge the Texas Tech Red Raiders in a game that should be hotly contested. Get Joe’s Hou/TTU point spread prediction here!

The Appalachian State Mountaineers hung tough with UNC last week, but it’s likely to be a different result against a much stronger Texas A&M Aggies squad. The 17 point spread tells us the bookmakers aren’t sure which way this game will go, as believe it not, seventeen is a key number (common final score margin) in college football. Get our App St./TAMU point spread pick before placing your wager!

The Akron Zips of the MAC are going to get smoked by the Big Ten’s Michigan State Spartans Saturday, but are actually one of the better value plays on the board in Week 2 NCAA football. Did you know that college football favorites over -32 only cover at around 34% long term? Get our Ark/MSU betting prediction here!

If you looked at Saturday’s Week 2 college football matchup between the Tennessee Volunteers vs. Pitt Panthers and thought -6.5 looks too good to be true, you’re one of many! In college football betting, these situations almost always end up being trap games and that’s exactly what we have going on here at Acrisure Stadium. Don’t get duped into this sucker bet! Get our Ten/Pit pick here!

If a Bobcat and a Lion were to fight, there’s a good chance the Lion would dominate, which is exactly what we’re predicting to happen Saturday at Beaver Stadium when the Ohio Bobcats of the MAC take on the Penn State Nittany Lions of the Big Ten. This is also a good game to throw into teaser bets! Get our OU/PSU bet recommendation here!

The South Carolina Gamecocks and Arkansas Razorbacks meetup for a Saturday SEC college football battle in Fayettville where the Hogs are favored by -8.5. Get Dave’s take on how the game will play out get his USC/Ark betting prediction here!

Saturday’s Southern Miss Golden Eagles vs. Miami Hurricanes game is likely to be a bloodbath of massive proportions. With a spread of +26, oddsmakers are insinuating S. Miss has a shot to cover. Get our USM/Mia Week 2 preview and pick here!

The Friday night college football spread between the Louisville Cardinals vs. Central Florida Knights suggests that the underdog has a chance to win straight up. Dan thinks otherwise! Get his Lou/UCF point spread prediction here!

The Texas Longhorns are on the rise, but can they cover a +20 spread against the Alabama Crimson Tide, who appear to have reloaded with a star studded lineup? Get Jay’s Ala/Tex point spread prediction here!

With the Washington State Cougars struggling against the lowly Idaho Vandals last week, there’s no reason to believe they can beat the Wisconsin Badgers at Camp Randall in Week 2 college football action. Check out Loot’s full game preview and get his WSU/Wis pick here!

Novice college football handicappers may view the Boise State Broncos loss to Oregon State and the win by the New Mexico Lobos over the Maine Black Bears as reason to believe this game might be competitive, however, that is not likely. The question is can BSU cover the -17 spread? Get our Boise St/N. Mexico prediction here!

We think the 22.5-point spread doesn’t offer much value, so are recommending an over/under bet on the Clemson Tigers vs. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets game on Monday night! Get our Clem/GT pick here!

The Florida State Seminoles looked really good in the second half of last season. Can they build on that? Or will new HC Brian Kelly lead the Bayou Bengals to victory in his first game in Baton Rouge? Get our FSU/LSU pick here!

For 40 something-year-olds, seeing the Utah Utes go into Gainsville as -2.5 favorites is unfathomable. Utah was once a nobody and the Gators were Titans. With true Rose Bowl aspirations, Utah is about to turn the college football world on it’s ear Saturday!

The Oregon Ducks versus Georgia Bulldogs Week 1 NCAA football game provides tremendous betting value! It may be the best bet on the board! Get Dan’s OR/UGA prediction here!
