I’ve been a college football maniac since as long as I can remember. My brother & I have been handicapping games since The Clinton administration.The Sports Gambling Podcast Network now brings you our in house free college football picks where we cover almost every FBS game via our college football experts Colby aka The Dantabase, Patty C & NC Nick. 2017/2018 College Football Predictions - Odds for each team to win the college football playoff along with predictions of teams that have a legit shot of winning it all, including a longshot pick. 2017 Heisman Trophy Odds - Picks to Win - College football pundits are expecting either Sam Darnold or Baker Mayfield to win the Heisman this year. The most common college football teasers are 6, 7 or 10 points. The standard is 2 teams for both 6 and 7 point teasers and 3 teams for 10 point teases. I would recommend sticking to these guidelines, but you don’t have to. You can include up to 15 teams at multiple books. Playing multipe teams is certainly enticing. On a Teaser Card, players may parlay from 3 to 20 selections (since the point spreads have been adjusted, wagering is available on both sides of a game) and receive payoffs ranging from 12 for 5 to 1,000 for 1. All point spreads use half points, eliminating the possibility of a tie. Bud's Bets is my column about college football gambling. I’ve had a strong few years including 55 percent against the spread in 2019 with an ROI of 5.1 percent.
© Provided by FansidedIn about 30 hours, the 2020 college football season kicks off. It has been a long wait. No other sport makes you wait more than eight months between seasons. I've been chomping at the bit for a while now! I will have every college football betting pick on the 2020 season, so keep coming back! I will cover whichever teams decide to play!
I did well in better for bowl season last year , but I still finished under .500 on the season at 386-389. However, I came out 20 betting points ahead. I will start with that in my betting back this year.
After four years of the points system, I find myself starting the 2020 season with only what I gained last year. 2020 is going to be a crazy animal with less games and less opportunities to make money. I have to bet wisely.
For those of you that are new to this, I pick every college football game every week. Not a top five. Not a top ten. All of them. Big deal, right? Lots of people make picks. Well, I do them all against the spread! I take the odds of each game and average them out at all the Vegas casinos and round to the nearest half. There will be no ties here. Ties are for the other football.
I also assign a point value based on the confidence I have in each pick. 1 means that I have little to no confidence. 5 is one I would place a decent wager on. I keep track of my record and my points back from year to year.
Games involving FCS vs. FCS schools and FBS vs. FCS schools will NOT be picked. Most of these lines are off the boards at the major casinos anyway. This year there are less of those games happening, and if there is enough demand, I make take a shot.
As we all well know, this is not an exact science. Due to the volatile nature of betting in general, this is for entertainment purposes only! I cannot be responsible for the loss of money, possessions, spouses, or limbs because of my picks. I can't have that on my conscious.
Without further delay, we get to the start of the 2020 season! There are only five FBS vs. FBS games on opening weekend. There's going to be a lot of this kind of thing over the course of this unique season. Let's get started!
South Alabama at Southern Mississippi(-15.5)(4): This line opened a touch higher, but it's still too high. The Eagles have a few defensive starters that opted out and the Jaguars offense is no slouch. I like the Jags to keep this within single digits, if not win outright.
Middle Tennessee State at Army(-3.5)(3): Army went out and got themselves a full 12-game schedule. Ah, the benefits of being an independent! This is not an easy game for Army, but MTSU wont be able to stop this option either. Army by a touchdown or two.
SMU(-21.5) at Texas State(3): One of the college football betting rules is that the Bobcats usually are a decent home team. Gone are Xavier Jones and James Proche, one of the most prolific receivers in SMU history, but Shane Buechele is still under center. Reggie Roberson and Rashee Rice are both good receivers and Kylen Granson is one of the better receiving tight ends that will be on display this year. The Ponies shouldn't have much trouble covering this.
Arkansas State at Memphis(-18.5)(1): This looks a little high. First off, this line is all over the place, still varying by as much as three points. Brady White is still leading the Tigers offense, but with Kenneth Gainwell opting out and Patrick Taylor graduating, they are thin at running back. Still, the Red Wolves don't have anyone that can cover Damonte Coxie and Alabama transfer Layne Hatcher can't keep Arkansas State afloat by himself. I still have to go with Memphis here, but I wouldn't bet this.
BYU(-1.5) at Navy(4): This will be the most exciting Monday Night game of the season! This line opened even in a lot of spots, but had Navy favored by up to three points. It really should have stayed there. BYU isn't going on the road and beating Navy. This team is far too disciplined for that. This is as close to a lock as we get in week 1.
Stay tuned throughout the season for every college football game picked against the spread! I usually have my picks up about 24 hours before kickoff in order to get the most accurate spread possible. If I change one, I will post it on Twitter. I only have 15 betting points going on these five games. Hopefully I can take them all!
