College Football Picks

It’s a rough spot for us to post a college football game preview and pick where a game is pretty even and without angles/advantages one way or another. That’s exactly the case on Saturday in Syracuse, where the Purdue Boilermakers and Syracuse Orange will go at it in a game that doesn’t really have an edge either way. Avoid betting the game if possible. If not, we’ll give you our best shot at picking a winner!

With the firing of Head Coach Scott Frost, will the Nebraska Cornhuskers turn their ship around and play better football? That ask is questionable at best! Get our Week 3 Sooners/Huskers pick here!

Yes, of course the Michigan Wolverines are going to blast the Connecticut Huskies! The question is by how much? When college football favorites exceed -32.5, there’s a steep decline in the ability to cover such a large line. While this game will definitely surpass that number, there may not be enough time on the clock to cover such a large point spread. Get our UConn/Mich pick here!

The Air Force falcons alkins have opened some eyes this year with their monster rushing attack. They will be going up against a Wyoming cowboys team that appears to be weak at stopping the run. Get our AF/Wyo bet prediction here!

The first game on the Week 3 NCAA Football board has FSU looking to stay undefeated when they visit Louisville. Get Dan’s side and total bets for this game.

Many college football bettors will auto bet an SEC team facing a Pac 12 team. That might not be such a good idea in Week 2, as the Arizona Wildcats at +11.5 vs. the Mississippi State Bulldogs provides good betting value! Get Dan’s MSU/AZ pick here!

With the general betting public and the pros on opposite sides of the Baylor Bears vs. BYU Cougars game, which side will Dan side with? Get his Brigham Young vs. Baylor Week 2 betting prediction here!

The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors travel deep into the mainland to take Big Ten powerhouse Michigan at the Big House Saturday. With a point spread of 50, one has to wonder if there’s enough time on the clock for Michigan to score enough to cover such a huge number. Get our Haw/Mich Week 2 pick here!

Big things are expected from the USC Trojans this season. They’ll head to Palo Alto to take on the Stanford Cardinal on Saturday for a game in which they’re favorited by -9. We’ve got a strong opinion on this game! Get our USC/Stan pick before placing your bets!

College Football Handicapper Mike Mann doesn’t see any value in the Maryland Terrapins vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish point spread, but has a high confidence over/under bet on the contest! Get his MD/ND bet prediction here!

Don’t sleep on the Arkansas Sate Red Wolves! The Ohio State Buckeyes laying -43.5 is an insane number. Yes, big schools crush small college at times. Ark. St. isn’t quite the pushover many will be expecting! Get our ASU/OSU prediction here!

Some early season college football games are really tough to call and this is one of them! The Arizona State Sun Devils head into Boone Pickens Stadium as +11 underdogs against the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Joe gives you his best shot of determining which team will cover the spread!

The SEC’s Kentucky Wildcats square off with the ACC’s Florida Gators in Gainesville Saturday, in a game in which the home team Gators are favored by five points. Get our UK/Fla point spread pick here!

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.
