College Football Betting Trends that Emerged in Week 1
by George Monroy - 9/3/2014
The first weekend of college football came and went, and the biggest take away from the opening games was that the race to the national title is wide open. Many of the top-ranked teams struggled to cover their spreads and played games that turned out to be much closer than expected. However, three of the five largest favorites on the board (30 points or more) managed to cover their spreads, while the other two came tantalizingly close.
College Football Power Rankings: the Ferringo 15
by Robert Ferringo - 9/2/2014
It was another brilliant start for the Ferringo 15, which went 11-4 the opening week of the season. However, two of those losses were actually to other teams in the F-15 (Cal-Northwestern and Georgia Southern –N.C. State). So the teams on our list actually went 9-2 against unique opponents, a fantastic 81.8 percent winning mark to start the year.
NCAA Football Predictions: Week 2 Opening Line Report and Picks
by Alan Matthews - 9/1/2014
What an interesting first week of college football. Obviously it's way too early to read too much into things, but Florida State doesn't look all that invulnerable unless Oklahoma State is way better than we think. Alabama looks somewhat overrated, while Texas A&M appears underrated.
Free NCAA Football Pick for Monday Miami vs. Louisville
by CarbonSports - 9/1/2014
Bobby Petrino's second stint with the Louisville Cardinals begins tonight and he's got a tough act to follow. Charlie Strong coached this team to a 12-1 SU record last year on the back of QB Teddy Bridgewater's success and playing in a relatively soft Big East conference. The Cardinals do have plenty of returning starters this year, but as we've seen already this weekend, replacing a talented starting QB often comes with mixed results and typically takes time to get your football program rolling again.
Free College Football Picks for Saturday’s Full Lineup of Games
by CarbonSports - 8/29/2014
The first full Saturday of college football action is here and that means bettors are ready for all-day football action with 40+ games to choose from. Saturday CFB betting boards can be a bit intimidating to a new bettor, but if you do your homework and avoid the pitfall of trying to get action down on a ton of games, betting college football can be very profitable. I've gone through the first Saturday board of the season and have found two underdogs that are up against perennial powerhouses that should surprise many.
Colorado State vs. Colorado Free NCAA Football Pick for Friday
by CarbonSports - 8/29/2014
There's nothing like an in-state rivalry to get the college football season going as these two schools from Colorado open up the season against each other for the third straight season and seventh time in eight years. Last year's game was a 41-27 win for Colorado as three-point underdogs and it was the third time in four years that the Buffaloes got the better of the Rams in this rivalry.

NCAA Football Picks and American Athletic Conference Week 1 Betting Report
by Dave Schwab - 8/27/2014
The American Athletic Conference began play last football season in what was a combination of teams from the old Big East Conference and Conference-USA, and it went on to attract some national attention from the betting public with teams such as Central Florida and Cincinnati turning in successful seasons.
NCAA Football Betting: Fading the Top 25 Weekly Free Picks
by Aaron Smith - 8/27/2014
It’s the beginning of another exciting college football season. For college football fans, it feels like Christmas in August with the games getting going on Thursday. There’s an extra reason to be excited about college football this year. At the end of the season, there will be a four-team playoff. This playoff system won’t be perfect, but I am convinced it will be a large improvement over the old system.
North Carolina Tar Heels Odds to Win the 2015 College Football National Championship
by Alan Matthews - 8/27/2014
The University of North Carolina is obviously known as a basketball school, and that program has always overshadowed the football side. Really the only coach in the past 25 years who came close to getting football on a near-equal footing with hoops was Mack Brown, and he left for Texas in 1997 just when the Heels were starting to look like a national power.
College Football Handicapping: Targeting Worst ATS Teams in NCAA
by Trevor Whenham - 8/27/2014
When it comes to betting on college football — or any other sport, for that matter — it is typically the teams that win a lot of games and cover a lot of spreads that get a lot of attention from bettors. The important thing to remember, though, is that teams that cover very few spreads are just as attractive as those that cover a lot — betting against a team and being right pays just as well as betting on one correctly.
College Football Handicapping: Neutral-Site Games
by Trevor Whenham - 8/27/2014
One of the intriguing features of the first few weeks of the college football season is the host of nonconference neutral-site games that hit the schedule. They are often times more of a cash grab than anything else, but they can also provide intriguing matchups between teams we don’t typically see play each other. When you are handicapping these neutral-site games, here are three factors to keep in mind:
College Football Power Rankings: the Ferringo 15
by Robert Ferringo - 8/26/2014
How many professional handicappers do you know that have hit 60 percent of their college football picks each week over the past two years and, let’s say, about 250 plays? And even if you did know of someone that managed to accomplish that feat, were they giving those picks out for FREE?
2014 SEC Football Predictions and Futures Odds Picks
by CarbonSports - 8/26/2014
The SEC conference has been the cream of the crop in college football for the last decade or so and I don't believe much will change this year. From top to bottom in the SEC there are some very good teams and we should see some high level football from all of them this year. The odds are quite spread out as to who will end up winning the conference title game in early December as this might not be Alabama's territory to rule anymore.
2014 Pac-12 Football Predictions and Futures Odds Picks
by CarbonSports - 8/26/2014
The Pac-12 will once again be one of the better all-around conferences in college football this year as it's the deepest it's been in years. Only three programs (Cal, Washington State, Colorado) are expected to be going through growing pains this year as all three are very big longshots to win the conference (+22500).
2014 SEC Predictions and College Football Futures Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 8/25/2014
There exists the idea in college football that there is the SEC and then there is everyone else. The idea is that this conference is some kind of behemoth, playing at a level above and beyond the rest of the nation. Well, that idea is a media-driven falsehood. It is myth, like Southern Hospitality. And now that ESPN has a hefty financial stake in this myth, you can expect several more years of hype-fueled fellatio directed at the South’s most far-reaching social contribution of the last 30 years.
2014 ACC Predictions and College Football Futures Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 8/25/2014
It’s a new year but the same story for the ACC: parity or mediocrity? The conference does boast the defending BCS National Champion with Florida State. But they have gone just 4-13 in BCS bowl games and still have too many 7-6-caliber teams populating the league.
NCAA Football Predictions: Week 1 Opening Line Report and Picks
by Alan Matthews - 8/25/2014
It feels like forever ago that we saw Florida State beat Auburn in the final BCS Championship Game -- and one of certainly one of the best national title games this century. Now the BCS is dead, and we are introduced to the four-team College Football Playoff. How will it work? No one seems to know other than the 13 members who will pick the national semifinalists similar to how the NCAA Tournament field is chosen.
College Football Betting: Best Games of First Week of NCAA Season
by Trevor Whenham - 8/25/2014
When the first week of the college football season finally rolls around, I am not picky about what I watch. I am so starved for the action of our greatest sport that I would watch absolutely anything. There are, though, obviously some games that are more significant and important than others.
