College Football Picks

Pac-12 college football has some GREAT games this week! With that being said, point spreads can be tough to beat when two good teams go head to head. While it’s always best to pass in these situation, Loot gives his take on who he thinks covers the bet.

The number 17 in college football (not pros) is a key number (common final score margin) and it’s no coincidence that we see the bookmaker taking side a half point under that figure. The Huskers’ are a live dog in Saturday NCAA gridiron action!

Mississippi was crushed 62-7 last season by Alabama and by the point spread (Bama -34.5) this go around the odds maker thinks we may see another blow out. Is there any value in backing Ole Miss with their uncertain QB situation? Read our handicapper’s thoughts and see what side of the line he’s getting down on.

Jay Horne has been on fire in the early weeks crushing the sportsbooks with a 7-1 record versus the line. Get his ATS pick on the Clemson at UNC Week 5 game.

Navy hasn’t played much in terms of quality but they’re 2-0 and are rested coming into this game. The triple-option is tough to defend for most teams and Memphis knows that too well after falling to the Midshipmen 22-21 last season. Get Dan’s full analysis and Week 5 betting prediction.

Bug meets windshield Saturday as Southern Miss will be Bama’s latest victim at Bryant-Denny Stadium. A whopping 70% are backing the Tide here. The problem is that teams laying this many points usually only cover at a 34% clip. Nice value here with the bug!

Both teams are 2-0 on the season and come in rested, but the Badgers have looked a lot better in their two games than the Wolverines shutting out both opponents. The linesmaker apparently feels the same begging for Big Blue money with their Wisc -3.5 line. Get Big Ten expert Ted Walker’s top play on the game.

The Washington State Cougars will be the bail out game of the day for bettors who didn’t fare well in early games as they’ll be hosting the hapless UCLA Bruins in a late game at 10:30PM ET on ESPN. The line in this one opened up at -17.5 and has moved to -18.5. Chip Kelly never should have left Oregon.

Like Bama, the Clemson Tigers host in a bug meets windshield event where one has to wonder what the motivation will be to crush the lesser squad. Often times, players don’t get up for these games and the coach ends up pulling first stringers resulting in the lesser team covering. Underdogs in this spot cover almost 65% of the time.

The best time to invest is when you can buy low. The same can be said for football betting, as point spreads are based on public perception. Everybody is down on the Vols and this is a nice buy low opportunity. See Dan’s take here!

We get our first match-up of top10 ranked teams when No. 3 Georgia hosts No. 7 Notre Dame in Athens Georgia on Saturday night.

The public appears to be backing the underdog Irish , but is that right way to bet this game?

Bosie State true freshman Hank Bachmeier was thrown into the fire early against Florida State and came through with shining colors. He’s averaging over 300 yards per game so he may provide a challenge to the Air Force pass defense that looked good last week against Colorado. Are the Falcons worth a bet at +8?

The home team has taken the last six and Utah bettors cashed their tickets in four of those matches. Can the Utes reverse the trend with a win and a point spread cover on Friday at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum? Get Loot’s betting opinion and prediction.

Both teams like to control the ball and the clock, but a team typically needs a strong run -game to accomplish that. It’s a small sample size but each team has been highly successful stopping the run this season so deciding who will have the best results may get you the money in this game. Get Horne’s analysis and tips on how to bet this game.
