FBS Championship Saturday Picks: Tulane vs UCF Point Spread Forecast and Best ACC Plus Big Ten Parlay
Announcers talk about early September vis-a-vis the magic of football's annual rekindling. Yet it's Championship Weekend that FBS speculators may look forward to the most. There's not much mystery left when it comes to handicapping teams, with 12 games' worth of sample-size on each school's lineup, and all pretenders sitting-out on Saturday. A similar dichotomy works in … [Read more...] about FBS Championship Saturday Picks: Tulane vs UCF Point Spread Forecast and Best ACC Plus Big Ten Parlay
Week 8 CFB Odds and Picks: Penn State vs Minnesota ATS and Friday Night AAC Prediction
So the Tennessee Volunteers finally scored their statement win of a campaign (hopefully not of a generation) by defeating Alabama in a near-100 point shoot-out. This comes after WagerBop's discussion of how NCAA outcomes are getting more "Any Given Sunday"-like just as Friday Night Lights scores are beginning to fluctuate like FBS match-ups. Can there be any more live … [Read more...] about Week 8 CFB Odds and Picks: Penn State vs Minnesota ATS and Friday Night AAC Prediction
FBS Betting Preview 2022-23: CFP Odds and Picks, Week Zero ATS, and Win Totals Predictions
It's not too difficult - with the right amount of effort and eye-squinting, that is - to see the logic behind cautious, conservative "futures" betting odds on outcomes to occur a year or 2 years from now. For instance, a popular candidate for office in a country in which her political party rules the roost might still be given a "45 percent chance" to win a general election … [Read more...] about FBS Betting Preview 2022-23: CFP Odds and Picks, Week Zero ATS, and Win Totals Predictions
CFB National Championship Odds: NDSU vs Montana State Prediction and CFP Final Over/Under Pick
WagerBop is giving comparable amounts of space to our betting predictions on FBS and FCS championship games this week, and it's a reminder of how gamblers are actually defying a cruel stereotype in the new era of legal sports bets. MSNBC anchors (and the "anti-sports writers" at neoliberal blogs like The Nation) may actually get a bad rap as the most pious, prudish, … [Read more...] about CFB National Championship Odds: NDSU vs Montana State Prediction and CFP Final Over/Under Pick
Week 3 NCAA Football: Odds, Lines, and LSU vs CMU O/U Pick
Having blogged about High School pigskin for nearly the last 10 years in a row, I've been witness to the "NCAA-ification" of the prep ranks. That's not necessarily a reference to the scourge of hand-picked teams and so-called Friday night "football" broadcasts that turn into scouting orgies for SEC aficionados, or even the "Bishop Sycamore" syndrome of independent barnstorming … [Read more...] about Week 3 NCAA Football: Odds, Lines, and LSU vs CMU O/U Pick
Rivalry Weekend Odds: Iron Bowl, Apple Cup, and More Predictions on CFB Week 14
Covering prep football on Fridays is, as Sappho might have put it, a supreme experience on the black Earth. But even if I wasn’t addicted to the aura of pigskin in its purest form, I would still be well-advised to follow Friday night lights (the actual games, not the show with the immortal teenagers) to learn and improve my FBS and NFL handicapping. For instance, is it … [Read more...] about Rivalry Weekend Odds: Iron Bowl, Apple Cup, and More Predictions on CFB Week 14
CFB Week 9 Betting Odds: What Clemson, Purdue, and (Cough) New Mexico Have in Common
I’m beginning to think that almost any Division 1 college football team can cause problems for anyone else in the sport on a given Saturday. No, that opinion isn’t just due to the shocker in Champaign last weekend. I’ve actually got a pair of 2018 results in mind – The Citadel giving Alabama what-for in a span of 2 quarters, and Georgia Southern playing brave pigskin to … [Read more...] about CFB Week 9 Betting Odds: What Clemson, Purdue, and (Cough) New Mexico Have in Common
Georgia vs Kentucky: Las Vegas Still Trusts Bulldogs vs SEC in Week 8
Note: An earlier version of this preview erroneously implied that Georgia was visiting Kentucky for Saturday's game. It has been corrected. I am also convinced that UGA is playing every game at home this season, probably why the Gamecocks tore off pieces of hedges last weekend just to try to create variety in the scenery. College football seasons have a way of sneaking … [Read more...] about Georgia vs Kentucky: Las Vegas Still Trusts Bulldogs vs SEC in Week 8
