2024 NCAA Football – Week 13 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-11-3 against the spread in Week 12 of the 2024-25 College Football season.

We are getting into some rivalry games this week. Those usually wait until around Thanksgiving, but teams tend to have multiple rivalries nowadays.

One of the more interesting games on the schedule this week is Army versus Notre Dame. The Black Knights come into this game undefeated, but are currently two touchdown-underdogs. It should be a fun game to watch.

2024 College Football: All-Name Team

This is one of my favorite posts to do every year, but due to a death in the family last year, I was unable to make a list last season. I found a bunch of fresh names, and some long time favorites.

What makes a great college football name?

A good litmus test is if it works as a potential pro wrestling name, it works in college football. It also works if a name sounds like a verb, phrase, a certain body part or just a bad ass football name that makes them sound tough.

We went through every team in the top two divisions in the NCAA. We went through ever single name and picked out the ones that were funny and some names we just wish we had.

2020 NCAA Football – Week 13 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-13 against the spread last week.

There were well over a dozen games cancelled last week, but as of Wednesday night, there are only a few at this time, but that is most likely subject to change.

The first College Football Playoff rankings were released this week. Alabama tops the list with Notre Dame, Clemson, Ohio State and Texas A&M follow in that order.

Can Notre Dame stay among the top teams and win (and cover) against North Carolina?

2019 NCAA Football – Week 11 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 16-8-1 against the spread with my college football picks last week.

This could be the first week of the college football season that the weather could affect many games. It’s supposed to be cold and windy throughout the Midwest and Northeast this weekend. Please keep an eye on weather reports that could change the possible handicapping of games.

Will LSU vs Alabama be a shoot-out?

The Best Potential Quarterbacks in the 2020 NFL Draft Class

Most scouts thought the 2019 NFL Draft lacked the quarterback depth of the previous year’s draft. QB Kyler Murray should be a good quarterback, but there were huge question marks with the other first-round quarterbacks selected.

The 2020 NFL Draft should be stacked with quarterback talent. There are a few underclassmen that could hold out for another year, but there will be enough QBs in this coming year’s draft to fulfill the never-ending need for youth at that position in the NFL.

We will list ten of the best quarterbacks who can potentially be in the 2020 NFL Draft class and a few honorable mentions that could be diamonds in the rough. We are only a few weeks into the college football season, so a lot can change until the draft in May, but this is a nice primer to help you get to know this year’s quarterback class.

2019 NCAA Football – Week 1 Betting Picks Against Spread

I am so ready for the college football to begin!

This offseason saw a bunch of head coaching changes and WAY more transfers than any other year that I can recall. I’m all for college kids to be able to go somewhere for a fresh start without any punishment, so I hope this is the new norm.

The same teams are expect to contend for a College Football Playoff spot. Clemson, Alabama, Georgia and Oklahoma are the consensus four-best teams right now. Will all four make the CFP at the end of the year?

2018 NCAA Football – Week 12 Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished 12-12-1 against the spread (again) last week. I’m over .500 on the year, but I’ve had a ton of even stevens weeks this year.

There are some big rivalry games on the schedule this week. Rivalry games can sometimes be difficult to handicap. The teams come in extra motivated and sometimes players have their own personal motivation (i.e. not getting a scholarship offer, growing up with a hatred of rival). There are just factors you can’t throw into a calculator and use in your decision-making process.

2018 NCAA Football – Week 10 Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished 12-12-1 against the spread last week.

After this weekend, there should be a pretty clear picture of what the College Football Playoff may look like at the end of the year.

There are some de facto CFP elimination games this week. Alabama vs LSU is the biggest of them all. I am interested in seeing two of the current top-four CFP ranked teams face-off.

Also, the Georgia game versus Kentucky has playoff implications as well. The winner will most likely win their division in the SEC and play in the conference championship game.

2018 NCAA Football – Week 6 Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished 14-11 last week, but really lost steam when it came to the late games. I got off to a great start, but the Pac-12 games and two nationally-televised late games ruined what could have been a pretty epic week. I still finished three games above .500, which isn’t a total loss.

There are some big games this weekend that weren’t viewed as important before the season. Indiana travels to Ohio State and Texas A&M hosts undefeated Kentucky. No one circled those games before the year, but now they are pretty darn important.

2018 NCAA Football – Week 5 Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished under .500 last weekend, but came out even after hitting on two upset moneyline plays.

It’s time to really adjust your rankings. Teams are now all in conference play and it’s important to remember non-conference game performance.

Also, it’s important to note that you can’t just look at a team’s past performance against a conference foe. There is a ton of data out there, but a lot of it is bad data. The turnover rate is too high in college football and most teams will not have certain impact players still at their school.

There are some traditional marquee games this weekend, like Ohio State at Penn State and Stanford at Notre Dame that should be fun television.

2018 NCAA Football – Week 4 Betting Picks Against Spread

Thanks to some cancelled games last week, I went 11-11-1 with college football picks against the spread in Week 3. I usually pick 25 games, but a few went unplayed thanks to the hurricane that hit the East Coast.

There are some marquee games this weekend. Texas A&M vs Alabama, TCU at Texas and Stanford at Oregon starts the first week of a lot of conference games. Most teams start to play conference games next week, so we won’t get many out-of-conference games going forward.

2018 NCAA Football – Week 2 Betting Picks Against Spread

I kicked off the season with a limp. I only went 11-13-1 with my college football gambling picks last week.

I don’t usually bet the first week of college football, but I gave it a go this year. I made some smart plays, but a few teams just pulled their starters too early in blowout games. I missed a few blowout covers by less than a touchdown.

There are some big rivalry games this week. USC at Stanford is an interesting game. You should know each team’s talent by the end of that contest. Can Stanford RB Bryce Love brush off a rough start to the season?
