College Football Consensus Picks

Welcome to one of our favorite pages on the site; college football consensus picks! (Which we should call anti-consensus picks as we're fading the public's opinion here.)

Each week, we wait for the public to give us their opinions and then we take those games in which they've one sided, match them up with line moves and sharp action and find us some winners! We do have more parameters than just betting vs. the public and siding with the sharps. Unfortunately it's too lengthy to explain here.

This is our favorite way to handicap football games, based on public perception. It has won for us every year since we've employed this style of handicapping.

Be sure to bookmark this page and check back often as these consensus picks should provide some great value! These aren't second rate free picks either. These are premium plays as we here at Predictem.com do not sell our selections

For those of you who landed on this page hoping to find a list of professional handicappers pay plays for free, shame on you. That's stealing! Lucky for you, you landed on a page that will provide for a better investment to your bankroll!

College Football Consensus Picks ATS Record: 41-38-4 -0.80 Units

CURRENT WEEK'S PLAYS:
Week 14: (12/01/07) Only one play here this week as we find ourselves on quite a few public plays. USC is getting 44.6% of the action and we feel that they blow UCLA out today.

Our Picks: USC -20. Good luck!

PREVIOUS WEEKS PLAYS:

Week 13: (11/24/07) Uconn visits West Virginia in what a few weeks ago may have been a closer game but Uconn's weaknesses have been exploited and you can bet West Virginia will take advantage of that. We like W.V. to win by 3 TD's or more. Cinci who is a GREAT team visits Syracuse laying 3 touchdowns on the road. Syracuse is Jeckyl and Hyde but too many points here. Cinci may very well cover this line but the points are a great value play. Missouri visits Kansas who has played NOBODY. This game is getting one sided with Kansas action yet the bookies aren't moving the line? Fishy? Indeed.

Our Picks: Syracuse +21 (35.8%) (PUSH), West Virginia -18.5 (42.8%) (Winner), Missouri +2 (38.5%)(Winner).

Week 12: (11/17/07) Finally off the schnide last week with a nice 5-1 week. This week we only liked 2 anti-public games which come from San Diego State +11.5 (30.1%) vs. Air Force and Miami +16.5.(42.4%) vs. Virginia Tech.

Week 12 Plays: San Diego State +11.5 and Miami +16.5.

Week 11: (11/10/07) Unbelievably, 2 of our 3 games last week pushed after blowing leads in the 4th quarter. The past few weeks has been forgetable to say the least! Despite the crappy showing, we always stick to our guns and would never consider changing our style that DOES indeed win long term. This week we have interest in the following games: San Diego State (33.4%) vs. UNLV, Illinois (44%) vs. Ohio State, Houston/Tulsa Total (Under 66.1%), Indiana vs. Northwestern (41%), Colorado vs. Iowa State (38%) and Michigan vs. Wisconsin (33.9%).

Week 11 Plays: Illinois +15 (Winner), Northwestern +2.5 (Winner), Houston/Tulsa OVER 77 (loss), San Diego State +3 (Winner), Iowa State +4 (Winner) and Wisconsin +2.5 (Winner). Good luck!

Week 10: (11/3/07) Another bad week last week at 1-4. Public teams are coming in at an alarming rate lately and the wiseguys are getting beat up. We're back at it in Week 10 with a couple that should cash. Stanford is only getting 34.8% of the action vs. a sub par Washington team and Michigan State is getting +4 and only 32.2% of the action vs. Mich. at home. Big Blue goes down today straight up.

Week 10 Plays: Michigan State +4, Stanford and Oklahoma State +3. Good luck!

Week 9: (10/27/07) Back after getting absolutely waxed last week. There are some great wagering opportunties this week. Despite last week's crappy showing we're shrugging it off and not letting it affect our future selections North Carolina travels to Wake where their getting +6 and only receiving 31.9% of the action. We feel they have a shot of winning straight up so are happy to take the points. A much healthier Northwestern squad travels to Purdue and is getting way too many points. The public is only on NW at 33% so we'll fade them here and feel good about getting 13 points vs. a defense that can't stop anybody. In a clash of the titans, West Virginia rolls into Rutgers where Rutgers is getting +6.5 and will likely win the game straight up. The public is only on Rutg. at 47% which is almost even action but we'll throw them into the mix anyway. Washington State 38.7% is getting litte respect at home vs. UCLA and receiving +6 points. Grab them before this line goes down before gametime. Lastly, Troy travels to Arkansas State where Ark. St. is getting 5 points and no respect at 32.3% of the action.

Week 9 Plays: Northwestern +13 (loss), North Carolina +6 (loss), Rutgers +6.5 (loss), Washington State +6 (Winner) and Arkansas State +5 (loss). Good luck!

Week 8: (10/20/07) Indiana at home is getting little to no respect at +7 while only getting 42.1% of the public's action. Wyoming at +2.5 is a live dog vs. Air Force and is only getting 31.1% of the tally. This game actually crossed the "almighty 3" which signifies strong wiseguy action coming in on the Cowboys. Hammer them! Tulane travles to SMU and is getting 6 points in a game that is evenly matched. Tulane is getting 43.% of the action. The much publicized Oregon Ducks travel to underrated Washington in which the Huskies are getting +13 and only 35% of the action. Call us crazy but the Huskies may win straight up as the Ducks are banged up and looking ahead to USC next week. It COULD happen. We're real happy to take those points. Michigan travels to Illinois where Illinois will win straight up! Only 41% of the public agrees with us which proves the line move here to be caused by wiseguy action.

Week 8 Plays: Indiana +7 (loss), Wyoming +2.5 (loss), Tulane +6 (Winner), Washington +13 (loss) and Illinois +1 (loss).

CURRENT WEEK'S PLAYS:
Week 7: (10/10/07 through 10/13/07) We see lots of betting value on this week's card as we continue to fade the profit in search of easy profits. It ain't a get rich quick scheme but a slow drip fills the bucket! This week we start out with Eastern Michigan visiting Ohio. E. Michigan is getting 36% of the action and may win this game straight up. Next we move to Louisville at Cinci where the Bearcats are only getting 43.2% of the action yet their likely to win by 2 touchdowns or more. Another game which may end up being a wrong team favored scenario is Mississippi getting +6.5 at home vs. a mediocre Bama team. Miss is only receiving 37.4% of the public's attention. In one of the biggest games of the day Wiscy visits Penn State. We like Penn State at -6.5 while their only receiving 40% of the betting action. ND is getting +13.5 at home vs. BC and for good reason. They stink! However, they're playing better ball and at home this is too many points. We'll side with the 37% taking the points here and laugh at the public is this play is VERY likely to cash. Tulane visits UAB this week and should be favored but is actually getting points and only 38.8% of the action. Get'em! In our lone total this week, the public is on the UNDER 71 in the Marshall/Tulsa game. We couldn't disagree more. Take the OVER 71. In what is likely our favorite game of the day (ask us after it wins or loses! lol) Indiana is getting +3.5 at MSU while only getting 38.8% of the betting action. We LOVE Indiana to upset MSU this week! Lastly, SMU visits S.Miss this week and is getting too many points and too little respect at 31.7%. This week should yield some positive units! Good luck!

Week 7 Plays: Eastern Michigan +4 (loss), Cinci -10 (loss), Miss +6.5 (Winner), Penn State -6.5 (Winner), Notre Dame +13.5 (Winner), Tulane +2.5 (loss), Marshall/Tulsa OVER 71 (loss), Indiana +3.5 (loss), SMU +9 (loss).

Week 6: (10/06/07) See picks one line down.

Week 6 Picks: (10/06/07) Sorry, no time for analysis. We are fading the public and are taking the following plays: UL Monroe +2.5 25.9% (Winner), Florida Atlantic +17 22.6% (Winner), LSU -7 47% (loss), Arizona +3 33.3% (loss), V.Tech +5 43% (Winner), Baylor +9 38.7% (loss), UNC +7 28.1% (Winner), Middle Tennessee St. +10 31% (Winner).

Previous Week's Picks/Results:

Week 5: 09/27/07-9/28/07) The public is hammering Iowa (64%) We like Indiana in this matchup getting +10.5. Mississippi State at +14 getting little respect (35%) is worth a shot vs. South Carolina as well. The public seems to think Syracuse (60%) is good after beating Louisville as a 37 point underdog as they opened as a -2.5 fav. vs. Miami-Ohio. The sharps were quick to take notice and hammer Miami-Ohio down to +1.5. We'll take it. Oregon and Cal is a marquee matchup on Saturday. The Ducks have one hell of a home field advantage and could have beaten their past opponents by more if they had chosen, yet Cal gets the public's attention here at 55%. We love the Ducks in this spot at -6.5 and are smarting for not getting a piece earlier when they were -3.5. Despite FSU looking better lately, their getting no respect and visiting Bama is getting hit at 62%. This new coaching staff isn't going to let the Tide roll in and steal a road victory. Penn State is getting one sided to the tune of 75% laying only 3 points in a game where Illinois should actually be favored. Look for the Fighting Illini to stop their huge skid vs. the Nittany Lions and walk away with a straight up victory. The public will be hitting the ATM machine after this one! Texas appears to once again be American's team after thumping a worthless Temple team. Kansas State +14 may be the biggest gift on this card and are getting little respect at 33%. UNLV is only getting 38% of the action however the line has moved towards them from Nevada -6 to -3.5. We like the Rebs Saturday. LSU (65%) will tromple Tulane but we'll take the 41. Rutgers is getting big action (60%) and for good reason. They have a great run game and a great team. The number has moved from -13 to -18 though which puts it crossing 17 which believe it or not is a key number in NCAA football. We'll take Maryland here and sweat this one out till the end. Lastly, BYU goes into New Mexico, a team with a decent defense getting 7.5 at home. The line has dropped towards New Mexico 3.5 points yet the public is hammering BYU 69%! We love the Lobos here! Every so often we see one that just doesn't make any sense, we fade it and it usually cashes. The UL Monroe/Troy game total is set at 71. The public is hammering the UNDER bigtime. We'll take the over here and hope to cash on the fishy line of the week. Good Luck Ya'll.

Week 5 Picks (9/28/07) and (9/29/07): Indiana +10.5 (Winner), Miss St. +14 (loss), Miami-Ohio +1.5 (Winner), Oregon -6.5 (loss), Florida State -1.5 (Winner), Illinois +3 (Winner), Kansas State +14 (Winner), UNLV +3.5 (loss), Tulane +41 (Winner), Maryland +18 (Winner), New Mexico +4 (loss), UL Monroe/Troy OVER 71 (loss.)

Week 4: 09/20/07-9/22/07) Fading the public has kicked some butt for us this season and we expect more of the same this week! Ball State at +23 is getting absolutely no respect with only 28% of the public on them. This ain't a bad team fellas! Memphis is another team that ain't half bad and their only getting 29.6% of the action vs. a Central Florida team that may lose this game straight up. The public is of course hammering USC (60.8%) and are laying a whopping +25 to a decent Washington State team. We'll take the points and fade the squares here. Georgia rolls into Bama where the Tide is getting all the respect with 59% of the action. Georgia has a shot of winning straight up here. Add them to our list of picks. Here's one that takes some balls. South Carolina goes into LSU getting 18.5 points. The public has witnessed LSU absolutely dismantle all comeers this year but the +18.5 is too tasty to lay off of. Give us the points. This game isn't completely one sided with LSU getting 57.6% of teh action but it constitutes an anti consensus play. Another game that isn't completely lopsided but qualifies is Rice (45.7%) getting 37.5 vs. Texas. Three more to go! Bettors are disrespecting Michigan (38.9%) at the Bighouse this week as they are getting a field goal vs. visint Penn State. We love the Wolverines in this spot. They aren't going to stay down forever. Penn State is improved this year but beatable. What may very well be the best bet of the week is Minnesota getting +13.5 and only 32.64% of the action vs. a Purdue team that is overrated and missing key players due to injury. Their on their home turf as well. Lastly, our history of fading the Oregon Ducks isn't a solid one but who can resist Stanford (22.5%) getting a juicy 17 points at home vs. a Ducks team that is unproven on the road. Sure they beat the hell out of Michigan, but that was ONE GAME and Mich was BAD. Stanford is weak too, but 17 is a key number in the NCAA and a "decent" team getting that many at home raises red flags. We'll take our chances with those circumstances every chance we get!

Week 4 Picks (9/22/07): Ball State +23 (Winner), Memphis +7 (loss), Washington State +25 (loss), Georgia +3.5 (Winner), South Carolina +18.5 (Winner), Rice +37.5 (loss), Michigan +3 (Winner), Minnesota +13.5 (loss) and Stanford +17 (loss). Good luck!

Week 3: 09/13/07-9/15/07) Back after a satisfying 2-1 week getting our record a bit closer to respectability. To reiterate, these games should have a very nice winning percentage at the end of the season. We've hit some bumps early on and will adjust as time goes on. Stick with us! These are the best free picks on the net! Now on to this week's action! There are some fat-ass lines this week! We are lickin' our chops too because the big favs have been covering like wildfire and it's given the squares of the world the misconception that college football betting is EASY! HaHa! The joke is on them because the book has opened with some real fat lines this week and is out for blood! Needless to say, we'll be siding HEAVILY with the oddsmakers this week and fading the living chit out of the public as they are overdue for some losses.

Thursday 9/14 Pick: Okie State is getting one sided to the tune of 73%. Its a nationally televised home game for Troy St. and the line has SAT on 10.5 all week long. The book is content with their line and is letting the public do their thing without adjusting to the action. Look for the square bettors to get slammed in Thursday Night's game.

As we noted above, we are fading the $##! out of the public, so lots of games this week. The public is hitting the following teams at the following percentages in which we're going opposite expecting some big things this week: Missouri 71.7%, Auburn 71%, LSU 62.7%, Alabama 61.9%, Uconn 58.6%, Miami 56.5%, Louisville 68.8%, Cinci 69.2%, Texas 70.5%, Minnesota 73.3%, Hawaii/UNLV over 76.6% and lastly Fresno St./Oregon over 63.5%. REMEMBER, we are going OPPOSITE of those which make our plays:

Our 9/15 Consensus Picks: Take Troy State +10.5 (Thursday) (Winner), Western Michigan +20.5 (loss), Miss. St. +12.5 (Winner), Middle Tennessee St. +40 (loss), Arkansas +3 (push), Temple +29.5 (Winner), Florida Intl +33 (Winner), Kentucky +5.5 (Winner), Miami-Ohio +7 (loss), Central Florida +20 (Winner), Florida Atlantic +7 (Winner), Hawaii/UNLV UNDER 65 (Winner) and Fresno St./Oregon UNDER 63.5 (loss).

Week 2: 09/6/07-9/8/07) We're back after a crappy opening week going 2-3. Stick with us here, this play yields good profits over the course of the season! Unfortunately, we're going to have losing weekends from time to time. The first game we like is Bama/Vandy. The public is hammering Bama to the tune of 76.2% and the line has moved 2 points the other way. We're lickin' our chops for this one. Another tasty morsel is South Carolina at Georgia. The bulldogs are getting 73.5% of the action and the line has moved 2 points towards Steve Spurrier's USC Gamecocks. In the "fishy spread of the week" Cal visits Colorado State in what one would think is going to be a romp. Not so fast though, Cal opened at -16.5 and has quickly moved down to -14. The public is riding them like an Alabama whore too (76.9%), so this indicates that betting syndicates and the sharps of the world know something the public doesn't. It sounds like chicken balls, but every so often when we see a situation like this we just go with it and don't ask any questions. To calm your nerves, these plays usually end up covering to the tune of 70% hence why we're comfy with it. In summary, our picks are: Vandy +3.5 (loss), South Carolina +3.5 (Winner) and Colorado State +14 (Winner).

Week 1: (8/30/07-9/3/07) The public are heavily betting: Tulsa -3.5 (72.8%), Oregon -16 (76.3%), Arkansas -23.5 (64.9%), Idaho/USC OVER 59 (66.3%), and N.Texas/Oklahoma OVER 56 (61.2%). We are in disagreement with all these and our plays are: UL Monroe +3.5, Houston +16, Troy +23.5, Idaho/USC UNDER 59 and N.Texas/Oklahoma UNDER 56 points. Note: There were many other one sided games on this week's card, but as always, we only select the ones that grossly deviate from our opinions. Good luck!
