NCAA Football Betting: Fading the Top 25 Weekly Free Picks Week 2
by Joey House - 9/8/2023
It was a rough start for our fading the Top 25 recommendations, as I posted a donut 0-3 ATS. No. 6 USC decided to play enough defense to cover their 38.5-point spread against Nevada, and ditto for Oregon State, winning as a 16.5-point favorite over San Jose State. In what was one of the sexy upset picks for many, Boise State got blown out against No. 10 Washington as a 14.5-point dog. Overall, the Top 25 teams were 19-3 SU, although the FSU-LSU game was the only contest between two ranked teams. The dogs were much more active against the spread (ATS), though, going 9-13 (including the Week 0 results).
College Football Free Picks: Weekly Mid-Major Report and Predictions for Coastal Carolina (Chanticleers vs. Jacksonville State)
by Matt Zitt - 9/7/2023
We were sweating bullets in that fourth quarter against UCLA, but the Chanticleers did just enough to cash in the 2-unit cover as CCU lost 27-13. We were not as fortunate with the over as both teams combined for only 40 points. However, we head into week 2 of Coastal Carolina’s season up one unit in total.
Weekly Public Action Football Betting Report with Predictions
by Joey House - 9/7/2023
Last week the Public Action Report was good at targeting reverse line movement. Since it is still early in the season, I'll cover my criteria once again. In order for a game to make my list, both the percentage of bets and money need to be on the opposing side of the line move. So, if all of the money and bets are going in on the favorite, but the spread shrinks instead of getting larger, then that game warrants a look. We are not advising to blindly bet on the recommended teams, but they definitely deserve a closer look. And this report has been solid in the past at targeting winners, especially later in the season.

Their National Championship odds were cut in half, from +20000 to +10000.

Weekly Public Action Football Betting Report with Predictions
by Joey House - 8/31/2023
Welcome back to this year's edition of the Football Betting Public Action Report. Being able to monitor the odds market is an extremely important tool in the sports investor's arsenal of weapons. Having the ability to understand where the "sharp" money is going can help you in two different ways: it can allow you to find trends that can be exploited in slower-moving books, and just as importantly, help you identify situations where you can prevent yourself from making a bad wager. Ben Franklin's adage "A penny saved is a penny earned" is very applicable to the sports betting world.

2023-24 Big 12 Football Predictions with Betting Odds and Expert Picks
by Joey House - 8/27/2023
With the possible exception of the Pac-12, which may cease to exist after the 2023 NCAA Football season is concluded, no other Power 5 conference will change more than the Big 12. The face of the Big 12 for practically its entire existence has been Oklahoma and Texas. After this season, they are jumping ship to the richer waters of the SEC. However, when the Pac-12 started to dissolve, the Big 12 welcomed with open arms the four important remaining programs, from a football perspective, of Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah.
2023-24 Pac-12 Football Predictions with Betting Odds and Expert Picks
by Joey House - 8/27/2023
No other conference in the FBS faces more challenges than the Pac-12. In what likely could be their final season in existence, two-thirds of the iconic conference are leaving after this season. Cal, Stanford, Oregon State, and Washington State remain currently without a home after this season, although Cal and Stanford are attempting to join the ACC. It's a sad and disappointing end to such a historic part of college sports.
Arch Manning Starting Game Props Odds and Predictions
by Mike Allen - 8/26/2023
The Manning name has become one of royalty in both the worlds of college and professional football. It all started with the godfather, Elisha Archibald Manning III. Archie was born in 1949 in Drew, Mississippi. He later played quarterback at Ole Miss. Following a successful college career, Archie played 14 seasons with the New Orleans Saints. He had average statistics on an abysmal team. It was a different league back then, with defenses having an advantage in the ruleset.
2023 College Football Player Performance Props: Best Bets for QBs and WR
by Mike Allen - 8/26/2023
We're counting the minutes until the first full Saturday of the 2023 College Football regular season. Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama, and LSU make up your top five teams in the Preseason AP Poll. That should come as no surprise, of course. It's good to see the USC Trojans coming in at 6th and projected to win the Pac-12. They are led by the 2022 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Caleb Williams. The D.C.-born and raised Williams threw for over 4500 yards last season and 42 passing touchdowns with only five interceptions.
2023-24 ACC Football Predictions with Betting Odds and Expert Picks
by Joey House - 8/25/2023
The landscape of college football will never be the same after 2023 is completed. Oklahoma and Texas will be joining the SEC, the Pac-12 is splintering with some programs joining the Big Ten and others attempting to fill the void of the departing schools in the Big 12. One conference that made no changes to its membership is the ACC. However, all is not well there, as Florida State has not-so-quietly discussed its desire to move elsewhere. That may not be easy to do, however, with the language of the ACC's "Grant of Rights". The schools remain together, but all is not well in the land of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
College Football Props: Team’s Chances to Play in Their Conference Championship
by Mike Allen - 8/25/2023
Opening Saturday for the 2023 College Football season is nearly upon us. Many of you guys have already jumped on season-long futures betting odds. Over/under betting for team wins is popular. So is predicting a particular conference winner. That can be risky when you think the season hasn't even started yet, and we are already crowning a conference winner.
Season Win Total Picks for Four College Football Independents
by Matt Zitt - 8/25/2023
Seven teams lived the independent life in 2022, but only four remain for this upcoming season. BYU jumped to the Big 12 after being independent for 12 seasons. Liberty and New Mexico State joined Conference USA. That leaves Notre Dame, Army, UConn, and UMass as the last four independent squads. A new TV deal with NBC could keep Notre Dame independent for the foreseeable future or the money associated with conference play could entice the Fighting Irish to join a major conference.
2023-24 SEC Football Predictions with Betting Odds and Expert Picks
by Joey House - 8/24/2023
With the start of the college football season just days away, the one question asked the most is: Can Georgia become the first three-peat champion since the mighty Minnesota Gophers did it back in the mid-1930s? This is also the last year before the SEC brings in the Big 12 powers Oklahoma and Texas. The Big Ten may have the geographic footprint, but the SEC has an impressive consolidation of power in the football landscape. You have to go back to 2018, with Clemson, to find the last time a non-SEC school won the National Championship in football. Oddsmakers are betting that Georgia will pull off the historic 3-peat and the SEC will continue its dominance over the rest of the football world as they are installed as the favorites to win the National Championship in Houston.
