It’s so beautiful to see Big Ten college football back in action! It gave last Saturday somewhat of a magical feeling; one that has been missing from our lives for WAY too long! Week 9 NCAA foots returns even better, with the Ohio State Buckeyes heading Beaver Stadium to take on the Penn State Nittany Lions. Get Loot’s OSU/PSU pick here!
It’s really bizarre to see a team’s first game in Week 8 of the college football season but we’ll take Big Ten college football any way we can get it! The Minnesota Golden Gophers are a live underdog Saturday against the Michigan Wolverines! Get Ted’s full take on the game here!
If you get a chance to get away from your lady Saturday, you should consider watching the Cincinnati Bearcats vs. SMU Mustangs game on ESPN2. These teams play some pretty good football! The line of 2.5 kinda tells us that the bookmakers don’t really know who is going to win, but they lean to Cinci getting the cover. Check out Dan’s Cin/SMU pick here!
Many will get duped into betting the Penn State Nittany Lions Saturday in what looks to be the sucker bet of the week in Week 8 college football. The Hoosiers are 0-9 straight up against the Big Three of the Big Ten East (Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan) over the last three seasons but 5-4 against the spread. There’s value here with betting Indiana.
The Tulsa Golden Hurricane have never beaten the South Florida Bulls, however, that is likely to change Friday night when the teams meet up at Raymond James Stadium. Tulsa comes in as a 10.5 favorite vs. a Bulls team that has struggled get anything going early on.
The Syracuse Orange come in as big as an underdog as they’ve ever been, getting +46 at Clemson. Syr is 4-2 ATS in their last six games vs. Clemson. Who covers here? Get Jay’s bet recommendation here!
Bama sure looks good! They’ll get a Vols team in Week 8 allowing 29 points per game. Laying three touchdowns on the road in the SEC is a scary proposition but Jay is doing it! Read his full Crimson Tide vs. Volunteers game preview and pick here!
Week 8 Thursday night football gives us an opportunity to view some small college teams when the Arkansas State Red Wolves head to North Carolina to take on the Appalachian State Mountaineers. App St. comes in as -11 favs. Dan is recommending a first half bet here. Get his full take and ATS pick here!
Mike says to keep an eye on whether Kenny Pickett plays this week or not, as if he doesn’t, the Pitt Panthers will be forced to start a freshman QB vs. a scary Notre Dame Fighting Irish team. He also has a bet recommendation on the total in this game. Get his ND/Pitt predictions here!
A Saturday college football matchup between Texas State/Brigham Young University isn’t generally a game we’d cover, however, it’s the late game and nationally televised, so many bettors will be looking for a bailout play. Loot gives Predictem readers his TSU/BYU pick here!
