College Bowl Game Betting Underdogs: Best Teams to Bet on Moneyline
by Trevor Whenham - 12/6/2017
There is nothing I love more when betting than betting on a moneyline underdog and cashing a ticket. The better-than-even-money payoff is satisfying, and even more satisfying is the feeling that you have somehow outsmarted oddsmakers. You haven't, of course, but it still feels like a victory.
College Football Bowl Game Betting Advice: Biggest Point Spreads
by Trevor Whenham - 12/6/2017
Now that the bowl lineup is set, we have a couple of weeks to sit back and look at what is to come from all sorts of different angles. Our job today is simple. We are going to look at the three biggest mismatches and what the games have in store. There is nothing objective here - we are just looking at the three biggest spreads to see if they are warranted.
2017 SEC Championship Game Expert Picks: Auburn vs. Georgia Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 11/30/2017
There is more than just SEC bragging rights on the line here. The winner will be a playoff team, while the loser will have to settle for a much less significant bowl. Add in the revenge factor for Georgia after their humiliating loss the last time the teams met, and Auburn's attempts at being the first two-loss playoff team, and we have a very compelling showdown on tap here in Atlanta.
2017 Big Ten Championship Game Expert Picks: Ohio State vs. Wisconsin Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 11/30/2017
The Big Ten Championship Game features the only unbeaten team in the Power 5 conferences. Despite the fact that there is a good chance that a two-loss team will make the playoff, Wisconsin likely has no margin for error when it comes to making the top four - they need to win to be in. If Ohio State wins then they will be in the playoff picture, but they will be far from a lock.
2017 ACC Championship Game Expert Picks: Clemson vs. Miami Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 11/30/2017
The ACC has had a championship game since 2005, and Miami is making just their first appearance. Given where Miami has been at the height of their program, that is a striking fact - especially because eight other ACC programs have played in the game. It changes, though, as Miami is not only in this game but will play in a much bigger one with a win here. As has been a case every year of the playoff, the ACC Championship Game has massive playoff implications.
2017 Big 12 Championship Game Expert Picks: Oklahoma vs. TCU Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 11/30/2017
The Big 12 Championship Game - the first played by the conference since they went to 10 teams after the 2010 game - has very significant playoff implications, but only for one of these teams. If Oklahoma wins then they are a playoff team. If TCU wins, though, they have no chance of making the final four, but they will make things very interesting. They would open up a spot for an unexpected team - perhaps Clemson if they lose to Miami, Ohio State if they beat Wisconsin, or Alabama.
2017 Pac-12 Championship Game Expert Picks for Stanford Cardinal vs. USC Trojans
by Trevor Whenham - 11/30/2017
This is the worst of the five Power 5 conference championship games, and it's not even close. Every other game has a very good chance of sending their winner to the playoff. The winner here has basically no chance of making it. Stanford is totally eliminated already due to their three losses, and USC would need to win this game by a million and then have absolutely everything go their way. It's not happening.
College Football Playoff Scenarios with Expert Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 11/29/2017
Last weekend's games were supposed to provide clarity for the College Football Playoff picture. The Crimson Tide and Miami were going to win. Things were going to be simple and straightforward. This weekend's conference championship games were going to have little intrigue. Simple. But those two teams didn't win, of course, and now we have a fair bit of chaos.
NCAA Football Betting: Fading the Top 25 Weekly Free Picks
by Aaron Smith - 11/29/2017
After a break for Thanksgiving last week, we are back with another edition of the Fading the Top 25 weekly free picks article. The College Football Playoff picture isn't very clear at all right now. The winner of the Georgia vs. Auburn game will be in. But will Alabama? If Wisconsin beats Ohio State they'll get in, but Ohio State may have a hard time getting in even if they win. There's plenty left to be decided!
NCAA Football Predictions: Championship Week Opening Line Report and Picks
by Alan Matthews - 11/27/2017
And the award for worst team in the country for 2017 goes to the UTEP Miners. They are the only school to finish without a victory (0-12) and weren't a good bet, either, finishing at 2-9-1 ATS. Only Hawaii (1-10-1 ATS) was worse in that regard. The 12 losses were a UTEP record, and it was the school's first winless season since 1973 (0-11).
Expert College Football Handicapping: Alabama Doesn't Deserve Playoff Invite
by Robert Ferringo - 11/27/2017
Alabama absolutely, positively should not make the College Football Playoff. And there is no coherent argument that anyone in the United States can make to the contrary. The Auburn Tigers manhandled the Crimson Tide 26-14 last Saturday, dealing Alabama its first loss of the season. That defeat eliminated Alabama's hope for an SEC West or an overall SEC Championship. And when the most recent college football rankings were released on Monday, it prompted the Tide to drop from No. 1 to No. 5.
NCAA Football Betting Odds: Week 13 Line Movements & Last-Minute News
by Alan Matthews - 11/24/2017
Sometimes a player has enough personality, style, talent, whatever you want to call it, to be the biggest star in college football in a season. Two names that immediately come to mind would be Johnny Manziel and Tim Tebow. Otherwise, though, the coaches are the stars of this sport (just like NCAA basketball). Don't believe me? It's the last full weekend of the regular season, and if you go to any major college football news site the main headlines are about coaching changes instead of games.
Free NCAA Football Picks Week 13: Under-the-Radar Matchups Provide Great Betting Profits
by Chris Vasile - 11/24/2017
First and foremost, I would like to wish all my American friends and colleagues a belated Happy Thanksgiving. I hope the turkey was delicious and the family get together was the least stressful as possible. I also hope you remained sober enough to effectively bet yesterday's NFL board. If you didn't and ended up losing some money, you've come to the right place. I will help you make it back and then some.
Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Stanford Cardinal Expert Picks with Odds and Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 11/22/2017
This game isn't all it could be because both teams have had some disappointing losses this year. There is no shot - even an outside one - at a playoff berth to play for. But there are still big things on the line this weekend for both teams. If Notre Dame wins they would all but certainly lock up a spot in a New Year's Six bowl game.
West Virginia Mountaineers at Oklahoma Sooners Expert Picks with Odds and Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 11/22/2017
The biggest storyline in this game, and the only real reason to pay attention to it because it isn't too likely to be a thriller on the field, is the playoff implications. Oklahoma is one of four teams, along with Alabama, Clemson and Miami, that entirely control their destiny - if they win out they will be in the playoff regardless of what happens everywhere else.
Auburn Tigers at Alabama Crimson Tide Expert Picks with Odds and Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 11/21/2017
This is the eighth time since 1963 that the Iron Bowl has featured two teams ranked in the Top 10. Auburn has won four of the seven games, including the last two. The most recent was the 2013 edition settled with the 'kick-six' that was one of the craziest finishes to a game in recent memory.
South Florida Bulls at Central Florida Golden Knights Expert Picks with Odds and Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 11/21/2017
No one anywhere in the country predicted that the South Florida-Central Florida rivalry game on Thanksgiving weekend would be one of the most consequential football games played in The Sunshine State this season. However, Florida State and Florida have gone off the rails this season. And Miami has only played two truly big home games (vs. Virginia Tech and vs. Notre Dame) this season. So with two Top 20 teams and a spot in the conference title game on the line, this USF-UCF game is one of the most important games in this football-rich state this college season.
NCAA Football Mid-Major Free Betting Picks: Marshall Thundering Herd Week 13
by Aaron Smith - 11/21/2017
It's time for the Week 13 edition of the mid-major betting report. This is the seventh straight season I'm doing the mid-major report for Doc's Sports. How have the selections on the mid-major betting report done? Prior to this season's numbers, the record is 40 wins and 29 losses with a gain of $1,500.
NCAA Football Predictions: Week 13 Opening Line Report and Picks
by Alan Matthews - 11/20/2017
It hasn't happened as of this writing, but I presume that either BetOnline, Bovada or BookMaker (maybe more than one) will post a prop on whom the next UCLA coach will be in the wake of the school firing Jim Mora Jr. on Sunday after losing Saturday to USC. I assure you that Athletic Director Dan Guerrero got "permission" to do so from some of the school's biggest boosters because UCLA has to pay Mora around $12 million to go away.
NCAA Football Betting Odds: Week 12 Line Movements & Last-Minute News
by Alan Matthews - 11/17/2017
Last weekend was a huge one in terms of shaping the College Football Playoff, and the new CFP Top 25 had quite a shakeup. With Auburn's wipeout of Georgia, Alabama moved to No. 1 - even though the Tide were somewhat fortunate to escape at Mississippi State in Week 11. Clemson jumped from No. 4 to No. 2 and Miami (No. 3) and Oklahoma (No. 4) are now in the national semifinals as things stand.
