2021 Tennessee Volunteers Football Predictions: Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/30/2021
Josh Heupel is in. All the Volunteer players are out. The Jeremy Pruitt debacle came to its merciful conclusion after another losing season in Knoxville. Tennessee football continues to be an SEC punch line and has endured three losing seasons in the last four years. Heupel, who led Central Florida to a 28-8 mark over the past three seasons, has been brought in to pick up the pieces.
NCAA Football Predictions: Week 1 Opening Line Report and Picks
by Chris Vasile - 8/30/2021
After 229 days without college football on our televisions, one of the best sports around returned on Saturday. I couldn’t be happier. We were treated to one really good (sloppy) game that saw Illinois upset Nebraska as seven-point underdogs. The other four games on the docket were blowouts and essentially wrapped up by halftime. Nonetheless, football is football, and I soaked up every minute of it.
2021 Texas A&M Aggies Football Predictions: Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/30/2021
head coach Jimbo Fisher boasted that the Aggies are going to “beat (Nick Saban’s) ass”. The noise continued through summer as the bobblehead media all suggested that Texas A&M is some kind of legitimate challenger to the Crimson Tide in the SEC West. And it reached a crescendo when the Aggies started the season ranked No. 6 in the country.
2021 Florida Gators Football Predictions: Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/26/2021
I’m a big fan of Dan Mullen’s work on the field. All Mullen does is field quality teams in one of the most competitive conferences in football. He has gone 29-9 straight up in three years at Florida and has a 98-55 career record; all in the SEC. Mullen is legit. On its surface, last year’s 8-4 campaign seems like a nondescript year.
2021 Auburn Tigers Football Predictions: Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/26/2021
Gus Malzahn soaked every last ounce of goodwill and benefit of the doubt out of his near miss in the 2014 National Championship Game. In the end, the Tigers faithful grew sick of Malzahn’s mediocrity, and he was finally cut loose after 2020’s COVID campaign. In comes Bryan Harsin, who has made his bones shepherding Boise State for the last seven seasons.
2021 Minnesota Golden Gophers Football Predictions: Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/25/2021
I am bullish on the Golden Gophers this season. P.J. Fleck’s squad is one of the most experienced teams in the nation and just two years removed from an 11-2 campaign in 2019. Minnesota did slink back to a 3-4 season last fall. But they didn’t play poorly and weren’t nearly as big of a mess as other Big Ten underachievers like Wisconsin and Michigan last year.
2021 Michigan State Spartans Football Predictions: Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/25/2021
I’m not a fan of Mel Tucker. At all. However, after Mark Dantonio’s odd departure from East Lansing last year, the Spartans felt like Tucker was the best option to turn the program around after dismal 2018 and 2019 campaigns. Tucker, whose college head-coaching resume prior to Michigan State was one unimpressive 5-7 season in Colorado, was able to lay his foundation during the odd 2020 COVID season. Now he’s hoping to take a small step forward and get the Spartans back to being competitive in the East.
2021 Maryland Terrapins Football Predictions: Season Win Total Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 8/25/2021
Maryland’s 2020 season kind of summed it up as a microcosm of the Big Ten last year. The Terps pulled two of the biggest upsets in college football last year in back-to-back weeks. First they beat Minnesota in overtime, 45-44, as a 21-point underdog. Then they followed that up the following Saturday with a 35-19 win over Penn State in Happy Valley as a 27-point underdog.
NCAA Football Betting Predictions: Big Bowl Game Opening Line Report and Picks
by Jason Radowitz - 12/28/2020
We’re approaching New Year’s, which means we’re finally going to be able to watch some of the biggest bowl games of the season along with the College Football Playoff. Not only did we see an enormous amount of opt outs this season, but we’ve also seen teams with terrible records trying to play in bowl games this season, while teams who wanted a shot at the CFP decided to opt out of a bowl game when they didn’t make it.
NCAA Football Betting Predictions: Bowl Game Opening Line Report and Picks
by Jason Radowitz - 12/21/2020
At the start of the season, college football had 43 postseason bowls ready to go. Due to COVID, opt outs and different regulations in select states, we’ve seen more than a bunch cancelled. We’re now down to 28 bowl games, and we’ll see if that can hold up. With these cancellations, we’re getting bowl games featuring teams with two wins in 10 games, like South Carolina. It’s ridiculous. We’ll remember this season for sure.
NCAA Football Betting Predictions: Championship Week Opening Line Report and Picks
by Jason Radowitz - 12/14/2020
Last Saturday, LSU, as a 24-point underdog, defeated Florida on the road with minimal scholarship players and mainly freshman and sophomores in the game. This all but concluded Florida’s hopes of playing in the College Football Playoff as they lost the turnover margin by three and threw a shoe on a third down stop that would’ve given the Gators back the ball in a tie ball game.
College and NFL Football Biggest Line Moves for Dec. 12-13
by Doug Upstone - 12/11/2020
It is the last big weekend of college football, and we head into the last four weeks of the NFL. All the betting lines are as sharp as they have been all season at betting sites, making our job that much harder. Regardless, that has not changed what is occurring in the marketplace and we found six line moves to cover for you, both in college and pro football.
NCAA Football Betting Predictions: Week 15 Opening Line Report and Picks
by Jason Radowitz - 12/7/2020
At the beginning of the week, Coastal Carolina was going to welcome Liberty home in a game that would help Coastal Carolina in the rankings had they won. Liberty had lost only one game, and that was to NC State, by a point. When Liberty had COVID issues, Coastal Carolina and BYU elected to face each other in the first game between two undefeated teams from different conferences this late in the year.
NCAA Football Betting Predictions: Week 14 Opening Line Report and Picks
by Jason Radowitz - 11/30/2020
Things have since changed after last week. Northwestern lost to Michigan State. Their CFP hopes have diminished. Actually, the Big Ten’s hopes of playing in the CFP have diminished, thanks to the conference’s quarantine policy that doesn’t match-up with other conferences. If Ohio State misses one more game, they will not qualify for a CFP appearance. They would then give up their No. 4 spot to a team like Texas A&M or Florida.
NCAA Football Betting Predictions: Week 13 Opening Line Report and Picks
by Jason Radowitz - 11/24/2020
The first Top 25 reveal is set for Tuesday, November 24, to see which four teams are in line to play in the College Football Playoff. Of course, many things can change from then until the final rankings are out, but things are a bit difficult with leagues playing at different times and COVID affecting scheduling with postponements and cancellations.
NCAA Football Betting Predictions: Week 12 Opening Line Report and Picks
by Jason Radowitz - 11/16/2020
Things have been interesting in college football. Plenty of teams with higher expectations are not performing, specifically in Power 5 conferences, and the talk about firing head coaches has begun. Jim Harbaugh has coached Michigan to a 1-3 record this season. He’s currently on the hot seat. But that hasn’t even been the biggest storyline of the Big Ten this season. Penn State is currently 0-4 behind James Franklin.
College and NFL Football Biggest Line Moves for Nov. 14-15
by Doug Upstone - 11/13/2020
After a couple of solid performances, Florida State is back to playing lousy football again. The Seminoles have been drubbed by 32 points at Louisville and 24 to Pittsburgh since upsetting North Carolina. N.C. State has also fallen a couple of times recently, yet they lost their starting quarterback, Devin Leary, and are still adjusting. Those doing college football betting have chased the Wolfpack from -7 to -10.5, having zero trust in Florida State. The ‘Noles also have seen players depart in the last week for various reasons, which is an ominous sign. At the moment, N.C. State is still competing, and it seems FSU is checking out.
NCAA Football Betting Predictions: Week 11 Opening Line Report and Picks
by Jason Radowitz - 11/10/2020
With COVID protocols in place, nobody expected a celebration on a football field this season between students, fans, and players. However, Notre Dame, the fourth-ranked team in the nation at the time, defeated the number one overall team in the nation, Clemson, in double overtime, at home, warranting a celebration on the field between fans, players and staff who were mostly maskless.
NCAA Football Betting Predictions: Week 10 Opening Line Report and Picks
by Jason Radowitz - 11/2/2020
It’s been a long time since we’ve had three intriguing ranked match-ups on a single Saturday. The Big Ten will feature No. 13 Indiana against No. 22 Michigan. The SEC will showcase No. 8 Florida against No. 5 Georgia. But in the ACC, we’ll get to watch the No. 1 Clemson face off against No. 4 Notre Dame.

by Doug Upstone - 10/30/2020
That’s right, it’s that time of the week again to review all the latest line movement in football! My preference is always to do this closer to game time because the lines have had time to simmer in the sauce, and they are more accurate as to what is occurring in the marketplace. The one main exception is the contest or two that is pounded on the day of the game. On tap for you are six line moves, along with the betting trends and of course free picks!
