NCAA Football Predictions: Week 2 Opening Line Report and Picks
by Joey House - 9/2/2025
Welcome to this week's College Football Opening Line Report. North Carolina's opener looked more like the Belichick-era Browns than a playoff-caliber team, setting the tone for a weekend of exposed hype and early market corrections. Week 2 lines reflect the shift, with favorites losing support, totals adjusting to tempo, and sharp movement backing teams that delivered under pressure. You can count on Doc's to be with you every step of the way to help you sort out the wheat from the chaff.
Changing of the Guard: Betting Angles for College Football QBs Making Their First Career Start
by Joey House - 8/26/2025
In the high-stakes world of college football, few positions carry as much weight as quarterback. The signal-caller is often the face of the program, dictating offensive rhythm, morale, and ultimately, wins. Each offseason, the quarterback carousel spins wildly due to NFL drafts, transfers, and graduations, leaving teams to break in new starters. For the 2025 season, this turnover is particularly pronounced in powerhouse conferences, with the AP preseason No. 1 Texas and No. 3 Ohio State both turning to first-year starters under center.
Best Bets for College Football Teams to Win 10 or More Regular Season Games
by Mike Allen - 8/25/2025
Finally, college football fans, the season is now upon us. The Kansas State Wildcats and the Cyclones of Iowa State have already gotten us started, and what a crowd that was in Dublin, Ireland, of all places. The Irish not only have the funniest women in the world but also arguably the greatest fans.
NCAA Football Predictions: Week 1 Opening Line Report and Picks
by Joey House - 8/25/2025
The wait is over. The transfer portal has cooled, the media days are behind us, and the first whistles of the season have already echoed across campuses. Week 1 is here, and with it comes the return of the Doc's Opening Line Report (OLR)—where we cut through the noise and get straight to the numbers that matter. Each week, we start where every bettor should: the openers. These lines are the rawest form of market sentiment, shaped by power ratings, returning production, and the ever-elusive "intangibles." Let's break down what the books are telling us before the public reshapes the board.
2025 Big Ten Football Predictions with Odds and Expert Betting Advice
by Robert Ferringo - 8/21/2025
I hope Big Ten fanboys have enjoyed trolling SEC supporters over the past eight months. Because the reality is the conference’s back-to-back national championships are more of a fluke than they are some statement about the league’s dominance. That’s not to say that Ohio State was a fluke last season. Or Michigan the year prior.
2025 AAC Football Predictions with Odds and Expert Betting Advice
by Robert Ferringo - 8/20/2025
With four different champions in the past four years and eight unique winners over the past decade, the American Athletic Conference is a paragon of college football parity. So it makes sense that the league enters the 2025 season without a clear and prohibitive favorite. Instead, the AAC offers the best and worst of what this sport has to offer, depending on your perspective.
2025 College Football Regular Season Win Totals Best Bets
by Mike Allen - 8/20/2025
The 2025 College Football regular season is rapidly creeping upon us. In just a matter of days, we’ll have our first game of the year, which will also be the first inter-Top 25 matchup. This isn’t just any kickoff game, either. We get things started not in the American Midwest, but in the green city, if you will, of Dublin, Ireland, at the iconic Aviva Stadium.
2025 Big 12 Football Predictions with Odds and Expert Betting Advice
by Robert Ferringo - 8/19/2025
I can’t say that I feel any more confident about surmising how this league will play out this year. With more questions than answers, and with parity throughout the league’s rosters, this conference really is anyone’s ballgame. There are too many teams in this league that can beat any team in the country or lose to any team in the country to feel confident projecting how things will sort themselves out.
2025 MWC Football Predictions with Odds and Expert Betting Advice
by Robert Ferringo - 8/19/2025
If you really love college football betting, then you have to love the Mountain West. The Smurf Turf. Midnight kickoffs in Hawaii. Handicapping home field advantages that range from snow and elevation to heat and desert. Triple option and fun-and-gun offenses. The Mountain West has been a weird and wonderful niche in the sport for nearly three decades.
2025 ACC Football Predictions with Odds and Expert Betting Advice
by Robert Ferringo - 8/18/2025
The existence of ACC football is one of the biggest reasons that SEC football and its troglodyte supporters have such inflated egos these days. Watching the ACC flop and flounder in the New Reality of College Sports has been a joy. And it has also elevated the status of their Southeastern rivals simply by comparison.
2025-26 Heisman Trophy Predictions with Betting Odds
by Mike Allen - 8/14/2025
There isn't a more iconic award given out in the game of football at any level than the coveted, prestigious Heisman Trophy. The NFL is extremely popular. Worldwide fandom and love for the game grow with every spectacular season. However, the league has not and will never match the essence of the Heisman.
2025 College Football Undefeated Teams: Odds and Betting Predictions
by Mike Allen - 8/9/2025
So, you’ve got a bunch of kids playing football on Saturdays for four months under the sun, the lights, and sometimes the snow. The vast majority of them are also taking classes, experiencing life away from their parents for the first time, (sub)consciously building their egos as they walk around campus as teenage rockstars.
College Football Playoff: Odds and Best Bets to Make 12-Team Field
by Mike Allen - 8/8/2025
This season marks the second annual 12-Team College Football Playoff. Last year was a success. Sure, it would've been fun to see the Alabama Crimson Tide in the mini-tournament, but at the same time, I feel like including programs like SMU and Indiana is good for the sport, even though neither was able to put up much of a fight in the postseason.
2025 College Football National Championship Futures Odds with Expert Betting Predictions
by Mike Allen - 8/7/2025
August is already starting to roll. When we were kids, trying to savor every minute of Summer break, this always seemed to be the month that flew the fastest. That said, the College Football Playoff and National Championship Game won’t be played for another 5 months. So, why are we doing yet another futures update? We’ve had a chance to see a lot of these “kids” who stepped into the transfer portal get accustomed to their new surroundings a bit.

by Mike Allen - 1/9/2025
The College Football Playoff Semifinals will be this tonight and Friday, with the title game coming on January 20 after the teams have about a 10-day break. That will mark one whole month of the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff.

College Football Playoff Prop Bet Predictions for First Round
by Mike Allen - 12/17/2024
How many decades have you waited for this? Finally, we have a playoff in college football. No, the four-team system doesn't count. We still have a long way to go before we reach 64, but 12 is a massive step in the right direction. Do I think the committee "got it right" with their selections? Yes. If Alabama won in the final week of the season, I would put them over SMU. They got smoked, though, and here we are.

College Football Predictions: Week 10 Opening Line Report and Picks
by Joey House - 10/29/2024
We had a solid week to close out the month of October, going 2-1. Boise State earned its most challenging victory of the season, winning (and covering) 29-24 against the UNLV Rebels as a 3.5-point favorite. The Broncos are 6-1 SU/5-2 ATS on the season. BYU went on the road and grabbed a convincing 37-24 victory as a 2.5-point road dog. That victory kept them a perfect 8-0 SU and a stellar 7-1 ATS. Our
