NCAA Football Betting Odds: Week 2 Line Movements & Last-Minute News
by Alan Matthews - 9/8/2017
The NCAA football world hasn't been untouched by the monster Hurricane Irma bearing down on Florida this weekend. No. 16 Miami will not play at Arkansas State on Saturday. There are no storm worries in Arkansas, but the University of Miami is closed and school officials weren't going to ask their players to go play some silly game with destruction closing in on their city. Plus, who knows when the UM delegation could fly back into town.
NCAA Football Mid-Major Free Betting Picks: Marshall Thundering Herd Week 2
by Aaron Smith - 9/8/2017
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? Overall, the record is 40 wins and 29 losses with a gain of $1,500. We are coming off an 8-5 year with a small gain of $40 last season when following the MTSU Blue Raiders. We had some bad luck on the larger plays last year, but finished strong to get into the green for the season.
Free NCAA Football Picks Week 2: Under-the-Radar Matchups Provide Great Betting Profits
by Chris Vasile - 9/8/2017
Week 2 of the college football season officially kicked off yesterday with a game between Idaho State and Utah State, but since this is a weekly piece, let me quickly touch on how crazy Week 1 was. There were upsets (Liberty +33 beat Baylor outright by three points and Howard +45 beat UNLV by three points). There were amazing comebacks - see UCLA's 27-point fourth quarter comeback against Texas A&M. And there was dominating performances like the one we saw from Alabama's defense and special teams. If Week 2 is half as good, we are going to be in for another crazy weekend of football.
Stanford Cardinal at USC Trojans Expert Picks with Odds and Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 9/6/2017
The Pac-12 gets off to a very early start to conference play, and they aren't easing into it. This game is one of the three or four biggest games that the conference will feature all year. The teams are in different divisions, so the game won't have a direct impact in the standings - one team won't wind up with a game in hand on the other - but both teams are in tight fights in which every conference win will be absolutely crucial, so one of these teams with conference championship aspirations will be behind the eight ball before we even get to the middle of September.

The first full weekend of college football is in the books. There was plenty of excitement to go around. It was a great reminder to those who had forgotten (most hadn't) how great college football action can be. Several top teams struggled in the first half, but most kicked it into gear later in the game and won comfortably.
Oklahoma Sooners at Ohio State Buckeyes Predictions and Expert Picks
by Trevor Whenham - 9/5/2017
For the second straight week we have a showdown of Top 10 teams that will seriously define the seasons of both squads and could likely have major playoff implications. The loser won't necessarily be out of playoff contention, but their campaign will have taken a big hit. Hopefully this game is more exciting than the last one - Florida State played Alabama tight for a half, but that second half was so bad and one-sided that it was only barely watchable.
Auburn at Clemson College Football Picks with Odds and Expert Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 9/5/2017
This is the first of Auburn's Absence-Of-Team-Name-Imagination bowl series - the Auburn Tigers also play the Missouri Tigers and LSU Tigers this year. Silly. The only thing that saves this from the depths of absolute stupidity is that this game and the LSU one should both be very good. Both teams absolutely dominated outmatched opponents, but the response of AP voters to the efforts was decidedly different.
Free Big Ten Football Picks: Weekly Conference Analysis with Odds and Predictions
by Chris Vasile - 9/5/2017
After a seven-month absence, the return of college football did not disappoint. There were a few massive upsets: Liberty defeated Baylor 48-45 as 33-point underdogs and then Howard went on to beat UNLV 43-30 as 45-point underdogs. There were some amazing comebacks -- UCLA came back from a 27-point fourth quarter deficit to stun Texas A&M 45-44.
NCAA Football Predictions: Week 2 Opening Line Report and Picks
by Alan Matthews - 9/4/2017
Not a great opening weekend for the football-rich states of Texas and Florida. The No. 23 Texas Longhorns were spanked at home by unranked Maryland, 51-41, in Tom Herman's UT coaching debut. Perhaps Charlie Strong wasn't the problem after all. The Terps are probably only the fourth-best team in the Big Ten East Division but put up 482 yards on what was supposed to be a good Texas defense.
NCAA Football Betting Odds: Week 1 Line Movements & Last-Minute News
by Alan Matthews - 9/1/2017
Bovada has a prop up on the first coach to be fired this season, with the favorite being UCLA's Jim Mora Jr. at +300. He should be favored after his Bruins slid to 4-8 last year, although that was in large part because star QB Josh Rosen didn't play much due to injury. That program is trending the wrong way. Mora's teams were 10-3 his first two seasons, 8-5 in 2015 and then last year's huge disappointment.
Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Florida State Seminoles Expert Betting Picks and Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 8/31/2017
The stakes just don't get any higher than this in September. The first- and third-ranked teams in the country are supposed to cruise through September, remaining unblemished into conference play. Instead, by meeting up here, we can be certain that one of them will have a losing record barely after the season has begun.
Virginia Tech Hokies at West Virginia Mountaineers Expert NCAA Football Picks and Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 8/31/2017
We are witnessing the rebirth of a rivalry on Sunday night. These teams will be contesting the Black Diamond Trophy for the 52nd time but for the first time since 2005. Virginia Tech brings a two-game winning streak in the series - which is, of course, completely irrelevant given the pace of change in college football.

by Chris Vasile - 8/31/2017
With all due respect to last Saturday's college football action, Week 1 of the college football season officially starts tonight. There are 15 games on the docket tonight and eight more tomorrow, which should serve as an appetizer before the main course on Saturday. There are plenty of solid matchups on Saturday, some of which will end with playoff hopefuls taking a loss and putting themselves behind the eight-ball right out of the gate.
College Football Betting Advice: Overrated and Underrated in AP Poll
by Trevor Whenham - 8/31/2017
We are on the verge of the college football season. Technically it already started, but nothing that first weekend - especially that Stanford-Rice debacle in Sydney - really counted as anything more than a tease. Before we launch into a season-long debate about which teams are good, which four teams are best, and who should make the playoff, it's a good time to look at the preseason AP Poll to see which teams seems to be overrated and underrated.
2017 Big 12 Football Predictions with Betting Odds and Expert Analysis
by Robert Ferringo - 8/30/2017
The Big 12 has five teams currently in the Top 25, and a sixth (TCU) is the next team off the list. The league has only 10 teams. So if six of them are among the best 26 squads in the country then that makes the league the densest group of talent in the nation. And because the Big 12 plays a true round robin format, with every team playing one another, there aren't the same gaps and unbalanced schedule-laden mirages in this league that you get with some others.
Florida Gators vs. Michigan Wolverines Free College Football Picks and Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 8/30/2017
The first major ranked team showdown of the season has incredibly high stakes. Both teams are late in a rebuild process that saw them sink from the top of the sport to some pretty ugly lows. The winner will have a nice signature win to start the season and will have momentum heading into what will be a crucial conference season for both.

2017 Big Ten Football Betting Preview: Odds and Expert Wagering Predictions
by Chris Vasile - 8/30/2017
The 2017-18 college football season is already five games old, which means it's time for my second annual Big Ten preview report. The Big Ten was one of, if not the most, competitive conference last year from top to bottom (not including Rutgers). The Big Ten had as many as four teams in the Top 10 at several points during last season, with Ohio State, Michigan, Nebraska and Wisconsin leading the way.
2017 Pac-12 Football Predictions with Betting Odds and Expert Analysis
by Robert Ferringo - 8/29/2017
Perpetually underrated, the Pac-12 enters the season with a pair of national title contenders (USC, Washington), a proven powerhouse that is a sleeper threat to make the College Football Playoffs (Stanford), and a load of potential spoilers that have the talent and coaching to make a surprise run (Oregon, Washington State, UCLA). I feel that the Pac-12 North is the best division in college football (edging out the ACC Atlantic) and I think this league will have one of the most competitive and entertaining conference races in the nation.
