NCAA Football Handicapping: Clemson Slow to Start out of the Gate
by Trevor Whenham - 9/16/2016
The ACC was supposed to be so simple and straightforward this year. Clemson and Florida State were the two best teams, and it wasn't even close. They were supposed to just bide their time until they played each other, and the winner of that game would head to the playoff. That's what the ACC has been recently.
Free College Football Picks: Florida State at Louisville Odds and Expert Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 9/15/2016
It's funny how things work out. Before the season started, Lamar Jackson, Louisville's QB, wasn't more than a fringe player in Heisman discussions. The big boys were all lined up, and it didn't seem like there was room for any outsiders like Jackson among the blue bloods - Watson, McCaffrey, Fournette, Cook. Two weeks into the season, though, some of those guys - most notably Deshaun Watson - have faded, and Jackson is not only in the mix but the runaway leader at this early stage of things.
Free College Football Picks: Ohio State at Oklahoma Odds and Expert Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 9/15/2016
This is a whale of a game for the third week of the season. Unfortunately, it's not nearly as good as it could have been if Oklahoma hadn't already suffered a loss at the hands of Houston on the opening weekend. It's still a massive game, though.
Free College Football Picks: Alabama at Ole Miss Odds and Expert Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 9/14/2016
Alabama is the No. 1 team in the country, but Nick Saban isn't a happy man. Several times in the last game you could see him screaming at Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin. It's understandable to some extent - a lot of football fans have dreamed of screaming at Kiffin over the years.
NCAA Football Mid-Major Free Betting Picks: Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders Week 3 Predictions
by Aaron Smith - 9/14/2016
I'll be following everyone associated with the MTSU football program on Twitter. I'll also be reading the work of beat writers and following team press conferences. Any way I can, I'll be looking to find extra little nuggets of information. Essentially, I'll be looking to make myself an expert on this MTSU Blue Raiders team. The goal of this article is to show that specialization can be a profitable sports betting strategy.
NCAA Football Betting: Fading the Top 25 Weekly Free Picks - Week 3
by Aaron Smith - 9/14/2016
Last week's slate of games wasn't very good. There weren't marquee matchups for fans to get excited about, but Week 3 has plenty of those! How did Top 25 teams do against the number last week? There were 11 teams who covered and 11 who failed to cover. There was one game that never had a line at all. Florida State pounded Charleston Southern, but that game had no line likely due to the suspension of so many Charleston Southern players for that game. A couple of other Top 25 teams had the week off.

Other than the chaos that was Central Michigan's stunning upset of nationally-ranked Oklahoma State, it was a rather ho-hum Week 2 of college football. Notable matchups were few and far between as most big-time programs scheduled easy, largely as a chance to fine-tune things before the start of conference play. Things should get much more exciting this week.
NCAA Football Predictions: Week 3 Opening Line Report and Picks
by Alan Matthews - 9/12/2016
We could learn as early as next month if the Big 12 is planning on expanding. I wonder if what happens this weekend could affect the conference's decision. I say this because the Big 12 is already in some jeopardy of missing out on the College Football Playoff for the second time in three seasons.

Arguably the worst contract in college football among head coaches entering the 2015 season belonged to Iowa's Kirk Ferentz. He was owed $4 million a season through 2020 and had a massive contract buyout if fired (75 percent of remaining salary). Plus, I think the state had to make him governor or something if Ferentz was canned. It was a Charlie Weis-level (Notre Dame version) ridiculous deal.
NCAA Football Mid-Major Free Betting Picks: Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders Week 2 Predictions
by Aaron Smith - 9/8/2016
We're back another college football mid-major betting report. Our focus is on the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders this year. The Blue Raiders are a Conference USA team that is looking to break out this year. They have been a middle-of-the-pack type of team in this league, and some have predicted bigger things for the Blue Raiders this season.
Weekly Big Ten Betting Report: Expert Predictions and Analysis
by Chris Vasile - 9/8/2016
Week 1 of the College Football season got off to a great start for the teams that call the Big Ten Conference home. Fourteen teams combined to go 12-2. Wisconsin took the "best win" award for defeating National Championship hopeful (LSU) by a 16-14 score. They were able to hold the Tigers in check for the entire game and got some clutch QB play when they needed it the most.
College Football Wagering: Betting Strength of the Conferences After Week 1
by Trevor Whenham - 9/8/2016
The first week of college football action, as is always the case, had more than a few surprises. There were shocking upsets - Wisconsin over LSU at the head of that list - and strangely flat performances - I'm talking about you, Tennessee. We confirmed what we knew about some programs and realized we know nothing about other programs.
NCAA Football Betting: Fading the Top 25 Weekly Free Picks - Week 2
by Aaron Smith - 9/7/2016
How did things go for the Top 25 in Week 1? Not good at all. Seven teams in the Top 25 lost outright in the opening week. Part of that has to do with the fact that so many Top 25 teams played each other, but that wasn't the sole reason. LSU dropped a stunner to Wisconsin. Other highly-touted teams were very fortunate to get out with a win.
Free College Football Picks: Louisville at Syracuse Odds and Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 9/7/2016
Conference play in the ACC gets off to an oddly early start this year as Louisville and Syracuse clash on Friday night. It's actually the second ACC game following one in Dublin last weekend. Louisville in particular has really flipped their schedule this year - their last two games are out of conference. It's a matchup that would be more compelling right now on a basketball court than the gridiron.
Free College Football Picks: Arkansas at TCU Odds and Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 9/7/2016
Up until the early 1990s, this matchup was an annual rivalry as both teams were members of the Southwest Conference. It was definitely lopsided towards Arkansas, though in the second last game in 1990 TCU pulled off a bit of a stunner, winning by 28 as two-touchdown road underdogs. They haven't played since 1991 when Arkansas left the SWC for the SEC and set off the conference shuffling that is still underway today.
Free College Football Picks: Tennessee vs. Virginia Tech Odds and Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 9/7/2016
This game didn't set up as the most thrilling in history before the season started, and the prospects for it have dimmed since both teams got off to underwhelming starts. None of that matters, though. This game is all about one thing - the setting. Bristol Motor Speedway seats 153,000 for NASCAR events, and organizers are hoping about that many will attend this game, which will take place on artificial turf installed in the infield.

Opening week of the 2016 college football season was a four-day extravaganza unlike any before it. The College Football Playoff has given teams incentive to step out of the comfort zones and take on high-profile opponents from the word go. It was one big-time matchup after another during Labor Day weekend, a true bettor's delight.
NCAA Football Predictions: Week 2 Opening Line Report and Picks
by Alan Matthews - 9/5/2016
I'm having trouble determining whether Louisiana Lafayette head coach Mark Hudspeth is my hero or the biggest a**hole alive. Maybe both. It sure takes some major stones to fire your defensive coordinator after one game as Hudspeth did to Melvin Smith following ULL's 45-10 loss to Boise State. The Broncos put up 584 yards offense on the Ragin' Cajuns and scored touchdowns on four of their first five possessions. But come on!
NCAA Football Betting Odds: Week 1 Line Movements & Last-Minute News
by Alan Matthews - 9/2/2016
So I'm sure you are dying to know my predictions for the 2016 college football season as I kick off my weekly news and line-movement stories on Fridays all season. At Bovada, Alabama is the +600 favorite to repeat as National Champion, but I don't think the Tide make the playoff. My picks for that are SEC champion LSU (+650 to win the national title), Big 12 champion Oklahoma (+1400), ACC champion Florida State (+900) and "at-large" team Clemson (+650).
2017 College Football National Championship Futures Odds and Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 9/2/2016
The college football season finally got underway on Thursday night, and it is off to a grand start. That means that it is a good time to make some predictions about who is going to be the last team standing when it's all over. And to look at futures odds for potential value. True value - I started writing this article Thursday morning, but hadn't finished it yet. One thing I had written, though, was how little I respected Tennessee and what a joke their +1200 price was.
