The Cougars are Defying the Odds
Football traditionalists claim that the team who runs the ball more effectively will finish on top more times than not. New school football dogma dictates you must pass to get ahead and run to stay ahead. Regardless of who you ask, most football analysts and fans will agree that you need to be successful at running the football to have sustained success. Introducing the … [Read more...] about The Cougars are Defying the Odds
Betting Iowa vs Northwestern on the Over/Under Line
It’s fair to say that the Northwestern Wildcats were exposed by Notre Dame last week. But they weren’t exposed as a poor Power-5 team – just a squad that cannot, at this point, wrestle with a Top 5 unit and come out on top. That doesn’t necessarily mean that the Chicago-area program can’t beat Iowa this week. But the dreary loss to UND is fresh in Vegas odds-makers’ … [Read more...] about Betting Iowa vs Northwestern on the Over/Under Line
Handicapping Boston College vs Clemson: ACC Divisional Showdown
Coaches love to say, “we just worry about what we do.” Dabo Swinney is clearly worried about what the Alabama Crimson Tide have been been doing. Alabama has shown that while its defense may look mortal against quality passing games, the run-stopping ability of Saban’s front-7 is so fierce that it doesn’t matter as opposing QBs are constantly up against a tremendous pass rush … [Read more...] about Handicapping Boston College vs Clemson: ACC Divisional Showdown
Is Betting CFB Totals A Smart Idea?
College football’s wildness and unpredictability is part of what makes the sport so fun to watch. Unlike the NFL, college football is full of lopsided matchups, huge blowouts, and excessively high scores. This chaos can make it seem like outcomes are highly random. Even the experts in Vegas struggle to predict games. If the big shots struggle with college football, is it … [Read more...] about Is Betting CFB Totals A Smart Idea?
Georgia at Kentucky: Do the Bulldogs Deserve a Wide Point Spread?
There are lots of stories of high-rollers manipulating a sportsbook’s lines in order to change a point spread or an O/U total to what they want it to be (before placing another even-higher bet). But there are other times in which the betting public simply seizes on a consensus opening line that looks strange, at least to the untrained eye. Or even the trained eye. The … [Read more...] about Georgia at Kentucky: Do the Bulldogs Deserve a Wide Point Spread?
LSU Tigers Host Alabama as 14-Point Underdogs
Is Alabama truly head and shoulders above every other FBS contender in 2018-19? We’re about to find out. All due respect to the Clemson Tigers and Notre Dame Fighting Irish. But if you wanted to construct a match-up that would finally test the Crimson Tide in the 3rd and 4th quarter, it would look a lot like Saturday’s trip to Baton Rouge to face the LSU Tigers. Ed … [Read more...] about LSU Tigers Host Alabama as 14-Point Underdogs
Florida vs Georgia: Betting on a Huge SEC Showdown in Week 9
There’s been some line movement in recent NCAA and NFL gridiron betting odds that defies conventional wisdom. It’s almost as if bettors in different markets come from different sub-sets of the American football fan base, and consequently do not see eye to eye. For instance, a few favorites in big games have been taking heavy action on the spread, driving the number wider. … [Read more...] about Florida vs Georgia: Betting on a Huge SEC Showdown in Week 9
Notre Dame Favored by Bundle vs Rival Navy in San Diego
Rivalries make for thorny betting, with the factor of emotional effort on the gridiron tested against pure physics and pure skill. I once had a student-athlete from my alma mater (destined for a quick exit from the squad) tell me he did not care much for football and was not planning to give 100% in every game. Raw stuff, eh? That is not an interview answer you get every … [Read more...] about Notre Dame Favored by Bundle vs Rival Navy in San Diego
