College Football Playoff Predictions: How the Championship Games Could Play Out
by Trevor Whenham - 12/4/2019
We are down to the last five football games that have a bearing on how the College Football Playoff will shape up this year. Perhaps more so than some years, though, we still don't know too much. All five of the major conference championship games could have a direct and significant impact on what the four-team playoff looks like.

by Alan Matthews - 12/2/2019
Here we are in December already, and it's conference championship weekend around college football, meaning it's also our last Opening Line Report story for this season. Hopefully, these were helpful and profitable for you. Doc's will of course have every bowl game covered through the National Championship Game, and we'll be back at it again next season as well (God-willing).
NCAA Football Betting Odds: Week 14 Line Movements & Last-Minute News
by Chris Vasile - 11/29/2019
I've watched plenty of football games in my lifetime, and I've seen some of the dumbest and most absurd plays there are to see. Yet, despite all that, nothing comes close to what I witnessed last night in the Mississippi/Mississippi State game. I mean, who in their right mind thinks of pissing on the ball like a dog during their touchdown celebration? Come on, Elijah Moore. You have to be better than that.
NCAA Football Betting Advice: How Handicapping Rivalry Games Is Different
by Trevor Whenham - 11/27/2019
We are on the eve of the best week of the college football regular season. And it's not close. It's Week 14 in college football, so there is a whole lot to decide. And for teams with grand ambitions, the games are absolutely crucial, But, on top of that, we also have the best rivalry games of the year to entertain us. Some, like The Game between Ohio State and Michigan, the Iron Bowl between Alabama and Auburn, Bedlam between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, and Paul Bunyan's Axe between Wisconsin and Minnesota, have major playoff implications.
Georgia State Panthers Picks for Week 14 in Doc's Specialization Series
by Ricky Dimon - 11/27/2019
Can the Georgia State Panthers bookend their regular season with impressive wins? That is the question heading into Saturday's in-state rivalry matchup against the Georgia Southern Eagles. Georgia State kicked off its 2019 campaign by upsetting Tennessee and now has the opportunity to topple a squad that owns a victory over then-No. 20 Appalachian State (now No. 25).
Wyoming Cowboys Football Picks Week 14 vs. Air Force: Specialization Series
by Chris Vasile - 11/26/2019
It seems like just yesterday we were prepping for the start of the college football season when in reality the regular season is coming to a screeching halt and all that's left to do is play out the conference title games and then take part in Bowl mania. From a Wyoming perspective, this season has been nothing short of inconsistent.
NCAA Football Predictions: Week 14 Opening Line Report and Picks
by Alan Matthews - 11/25/2019
Going to change up in this week's Opening Line Report and preview some of Friday's top games because it's always one of my favorite college football days of the year. Most everyone is off from work (except us sportswriters), there are plenty of leftovers from Thanksgiving and the women in our lives won't bother us at all as they go stand in line at 4 a.m. for some 50 percent off crockpot at Target on Black Friday.
NCAA Football Betting Odds: Week 13 Line Movements & Last-Minute News
by Chris Vasile - 11/22/2019
Another week of college football is upon us, and there is yet another College Football Playoff ranking debate to be had despite the Top 4 teams remaining as they were two weeks ago. From the top, LSU, Ohio State, Clemson and Georgia remain as the final four teams, but there are plenty of talking points outside the CFP bubble.
Georgia State Panthers Picks for Week 13 in Doc's Specialization Series
by Ricky Dimon - 11/21/2019
A home date with the South Alabama Jaguars this weekend may be just what the doctor ordered for the Georgia State Panthers. No kind of prescription was necessary as the Panthers started the season 6-2 with wins over Tennessee and Army in addition to a triple-overtime loss to Texas State. In other words, they could have been 7-1 through eight games.
Wyoming Cowboys Football Picks Week 13 vs. Colorado State: Specialization Series
by Chris Vasile - 11/19/2019
Each week this article will give you a small recap on how the team fared in their last game. You'd be surprised at how many times a team's win/loss outcome was either justified or lucky to happen. The box score may say one thing, but actually watching the game and seeing what's happening is a vital tool in handicapping. At the end of the article, I'll give you a selection on the upcoming game.
NCAA Football Predictions: Week 13 Opening Line Report and Picks
by Alan Matthews - 11/18/2019
UCLA likely is going to finish below. 500 for a fourth straight season, although the Bruins could get bowl eligible with an upset here and then a home win over Cal the following Saturday. Coach Chip Kelly is safe in Westwood only because that school is strapped financially - which is hard to believe if you have seen the campus and how much it costs to go there - but Kelly will enter 2020 on the hot seat.
NCAA Football Betting Odds: Week 12 Line Movements & Last-Minute News
by Chris Vasile - 11/15/2019
I praised Joe Burrow early this week for ultimately winning the Heisman Trophy with his performance against Alabama last Saturday. Now I'm going to (finally) praise the CFP Committee for getting this week's rankings spot on. LSU deserves to be the top-ranked team in the nation, followed by Ohio State.
Georgia State Panthers Picks for Week 12 in Doc's Specialization Series
by Ricky Dimon - 11/14/2019
For the most part, the Georgia State Panthers' 2019 campaign has been one big heap of success. But things went south last weekend against Louisiana-Monroe, and they could go south in a real hurry with quarterback Dan Ellington having suffered a knee injury during the recent loss.
Four College Football Teams That Fell Way Under Expectations Week 1
by Trevor Whenham - 9/4/2019
Judging college football teams before the season starts is a very inexact science. We don't have complete access to fall training camps, there is no preseason to give us clues, and between players making the huge jump up from high school and an increasing number of transfers, we have to make too many guesses about what teams will have on the field. We can usually figure out that the best teams are going to look good and the worst teams are going to look lousy. It's the teams in the middle that are the toughest to figure out, though.
How to Handicap College Teams That Won't Name Starting QB
by Trevor Whenham - 8/27/2019
College football can be a ridiculous sport at times. Coaches, trying to get any edge they can, will do truly frustrating, silly things. The latest manifestation of this is the recent trend of not naming starting quarterbacks heading into games. There have always been some coaches who don't really embrace the idea of public depth charts.
2019 College Football Season Win Totals Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 3/18/2019
College football still feels like it is a million days away, but it always feels closer every year when the first college football season win totals are posted. SportsBetting.ag sent the first totals for 2019 our way this week, and six numbers stood out from the crowd as the most interesting to take a look at and see if we could find some value. A couple of the numbers feel surprisingly juicy.
College Football National Championship Game Betting Trends
by Trevor Whenham - 1/5/2019
As we near the end of the fifth year of the College Football Playoff, I find myself getting grumpier and grumpier about the whole enterprise. I was mostly opposed to the idea of the playoff when it started because I doubted it would solve much. Instead of subjectively and politically selecting two teams in a locked room somewhere, now a committee of people would select four.
Expert College Bowl Game Betting Advice: How to Handicap Star Players Skipping Game
by Trevor Whenham - 12/18/2018
It is amazing how quickly things can change. It was only two years ago, in 2016, that Leonard Fournette and Christian McCaffrey made waves by opting to skip their bowl games and prepare for the draft while avoiding injury. The decisions were highly controversial at the time, and both guys had to deal with a whole lot of negativity and claims that they were hurting their teams - giving up on them, even. But now the practice is so widespread that it feels like much of the potential first round that isn't in the playoff is sitting out.
Expert College Bowl Game Handicapping: Location Important
by Trevor Whenham - 12/13/2018
Location, location, location. It's the mantra of real estate investment, but it is also a big part of a successful approach to college football bowl game betting. Bowl games are in so many different places these days, and some are clearly more exotic than others. Those locations can have an impact on the outcome of games - sometimes for one team more than the other and sometimes for both teams.
Handicapping College Bowl Games After Coaching Changes
by Trevor Whenham - 12/4/2018
As we head into the college football bowl season, the coaching carousel in the sport has been very boring so far - at least compared to past years. Clay Helton somehow managed to keep his job at USC, and that stopped what would likely have been a big game of coaching musical chairs. Jeff Brohm decided to stay at Purdue against all odds, and Bill Clark took an extension at UAB. And guys like Mack Brown and Les Miles took jobs that would otherwise have caused an existing program to lose a coach.
