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 Week 6 Prime-Time Odds and Picks: USC vs WSU Spread Plus Saturday’s Red River Underdog
A coach of an also-ran Olympic hockey team once said of Team USA in the late 1990s, "it is difficult to go into a game and know that you are going to lose." (If only he knew how many times USA Hockey would lose, on the rink and in public relations, in the decades since then.) That's not exactly the plight of a "hot" pigskin handicapper, but it's close. WagerBop's college and … [Read more...] about FBS Week 6 Prime-Time Odds and Picks: USC vs WSU Spread Plus Saturday’s Red River Underdog
NCAAF Week 5: Iowa vs Michigan Point Total Pick and Best Prime-Time Pac-12 Odds
This handicapper has held for years that Friday Night Lights pigskin is becoming more and more like post-Y2K college football all the time. For instance, in my hometown large-schools conference in 2021, a healthy team lost to another healthy team by a "mercy clock" margin that could have ended 75-0 if it wasn't for a running clock. Months later, the losing team returned to take … [Read more...] about NCAAF Week 5: Iowa vs Michigan Point Total Pick and Best Prime-Time Pac-12 Odds
NCAAF Week 3 Lines and Predictions: Marshall at BGSU Point Spread and Prime-Time Texas Longhorns Pick
Week 2 of college football involved so many incredible on-field storylines that to be focused on an administrative angle almost feels like a waste of time. But there is no doubt that the story with the most long-term legs will prove to be Nebraska's coaching change, for Week 2 of 2022-23 is when the proud old program finally hit rock bottom. After former skipper Scott … [Read more...] about NCAAF Week 3 Lines and Predictions: Marshall at BGSU Point Spread and Prime-Time Texas Longhorns Pick
CFB Week 2: Missouri at Kansas State Underdog Pick and Best Odds on Notre Dame vs Marshall
We're making a concerted effort to recommend college football moneylines and point spreads this week, and not so much the Over/Under. That's for health reasons, pure and simple. There don't need to be any cardiac arrests in front of the TV on our watch, especially those suffered by the blogger after having a W/L week held on edge at the 1 yard-line. Jokes aside, both the … [Read more...] about CFB Week 2: Missouri at Kansas State Underdog Pick and Best Odds on Notre Dame vs Marshall
College FB Week 1 Preview: FanDuel Sportsbook Odds and Best Picks Thursday Thru Labor Day
There's an awful lot of college football to pick from this weekend - 5 days in total. So, we'll skip the fancy setup and get right into the games, but not without a word on the lack of money-line picks you'll find on WagerBop's Week 1 scroll. No, we're not avoiding ML bet recommendations just because it's out-of-conference season, and there's so many wide spreads and … [Read more...] about College FB Week 1 Preview: FanDuel Sportsbook Odds and Best Picks Thursday Thru Labor Day
NCAA Men’s Sweet Sixteen: March Madness Futures Picks and Thursday-Friday Predictions
I've reasoned for a while now that the only way systematic sports handicappers ever get "streaky" is because final scores are like weather patterns. On "calm" days, only the variables taken into account by the sports-forecaster come into play, and so all predictions work out more-or-less the way they're supposed to. "Bad weather" can come in the form of spot showers, sudden … [Read more...] about NCAA Men’s Sweet Sixteen: March Madness Futures Picks and Thursday-Friday 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
