College Football Betting

Are you thinking about doing some college football betting this year?  Well if you are then let us give you as much help as possible so you can have more fun, and make more money than ever before because let’s face it, that’s the whole point of wagering isn’t it?

The first thing that we recommend to everyone who wants to get serious about making money is to open up a couple different accounts at the sportsbooks so they can use line shopping to get the most value out of their bets. Over the course of the season there are going to be plenty of games that either push or come close to the number, but what if you could have turned those close losses into pushes or those pushes into wins by simply shopping around for the best line and getting a better point spread?

You can do so and it won’t cost you any extra money if you open up accounts at a couple of different sportsbooks. Of course we have done the homework for you and found a couple of places that we are recommending everyone open up an account at this year.The first on the list is SportsBetting.

This is a solid operation that does a great job of converting credit cards for deposits and gives payouts to customers quickly and easily. The other great thing about SportsBetting is that they have a large volume of players and most of them are recreational. This means that you are going to get a unique line set that caters to the public, which means that if you like betting on underdogs or going against the grain then you are going to get some great odds with this book. Plus the bonuses and the chance to win $1,000,000 are a couple of other great reasons to signup today with SportsBetting.

The second book we want to recommend is WagerWeb. This is one of the books that keep the players in the forefront with an array of betting options and prop opportunities to keep you interested in every aspect of the game.

WagerWeb is also a great site for those of you who are new to the online betting world because they give a tour of the site and have guides written to assist you in getting started. Plus there are articles every week detailing different sporting events and giving some insight into what the bookmakers are thinking.

If you are looking for a one-stop shop then WagerWeb can be that place.There are a couple of other books that everyone should check out and we’ll just give you a couple sentences promoting each one.

Bodog is a great book for new players and they have easy deposit methods where you can use your checking account. When it comes to bonuses you can’t really go wrong with BetUS. They offer up to 50% in new signup bonuses and have an easy to use site.  Bookmaker is where the line originates, so if you want to get your action in early in the week,then this is the place to go.

College Football Point Spreads

If you want to know what the college football points spreads are for this week, or you want to know how the odds work then you have come to the right place. Our staff specializes in betting on college football and we want to help you make as much money as possible with your wagers this season.  Get a $500 match bonus from BetUS this season.  There’s simply no better deal in the industry.

When we are talking about the point spread we mean the number that goes along with each game. You’ll see two teams:

School A +5
School B -5

The plus and minus 5 is the point spread and this is the number that is used to even out the betting on both sides of the game. The odds makers want even action so they can take the juice as the profit. The juice is the extra 10% you give to the sportsbooks on losing wagers and that is what takes all of the risk out of the wagering for the sportsbook.

When you decide you want to start betting on the spreads then by taking the favorites your team is going to have to win by more points that the spread in order for you to cash in on your wagers. If you want to take the underdog then your team can still lose and you win your bet as long as the team doesn’t lose by more than the spread. So in our example if School B wins, but only wins by three then the backers of School A win the wager.

It seems like new bettors always go after the favorites as they just can’t see the team expected to win the game ever losing. This is a fool hardy thing to do because the odds makers take into consideration how many points the favorite is supposed to win by, then they even can compensate a little bit more in order to make sure that the action on the game is as close to even as it can get. The experienced bettors and professionals try to put aside their emotions or negative feelings about the underdogs and take that side, because more times than not the underdogs will win the game.

You can also wager on the money lines and we detail how to do that in our college football lines article. Plus there are totals bets which we will explain in the college football odds writeup. However, if you are done learning and want to get straight to the action then the latest point spreads are posted below. If you want a little help in beating the number then look to sign up for the expert football picks on this site.

10. Georgia: The quiet football factory at Georgia continues to impress under Head Coach Mark Richt. The defense allowed 16 ppg last season and will lead the way again, led by All-America candidate DE Quentin Moses, a fierce pass rusher. The linebacking corps is also deep behind senior Jarvis Jackson.

The offensive line has new pieces and QB D.J. Shockley is gone. But senior QB Joe Tereshinski (371 yards) stepped in when Shockley was hurt last season and played well. Richt likes a balanced offense and has a powerful ground game behind junior RB Thomas Brown and junior Danny Ware. Georgia is 21-6 SU/17-10 ATS on the road under Richt! Six of their first eight games are at home, with only tough road games at South Carolina and Auburn.

9. Miami: Head Coach Larry Coker revamped his coaching staff, bringing in Rich Olson to run the offense and John Palermo will run the defensive line (from Wisconsin). Olson ran the Miami offense during some of their glory years in the 1990s. Junior QB Kyle Wright (18 TDs, 10 INTs) returns, along with junior WR Lance Leggett and 6-foot-6 junior TE Greg Olsen.

The running game provides balance because of senior tailback Tyrone Moss (701 yards, 5.1 ypc) and the tough defense allowed just 14 points per game and 3 yards per rush! Run stuffers like DE Bryan Pata and senior DT Baraka Atkins return and there are several revenge games, including Florida State and Georgia Tech (the latter upset Miami at home). Is this still a great football program? Miami just had a first-round NFL draft choice for a record 12th consecutive year.

8. L.S.U: LSU impressed under first-year Head Coach Les Miles, going 11-2. They played a lot of road games, too, because of Hurricane Katrina. The Tigers averaged 29.5 points, 150 yards rushing and 224 passing. Junior Quarterback JaMarcus Russell returns despite a serious shoulder injury late last season.

The ground game features senior RB Alley Broussard and Justin Vincent, while there is good depth at wideout. One thing Nick Saban left Miles was a talented defense, which has five starters back to a unit that ranked among the top five in the nation in three categories. The line is solid behind senior DT Glenn Dorsey and junior DE Carnell Stewart. This year’s schedule is challenging, with road games at Auburn, Florida, Tennessee and Arkansas. But LSU was 5-0 SU, 4-0 ATS on the road last season!

7. Notre Dame: Hats off to Charlie Weis, who electrified the Irish attack in his first year as head coach. Under his imaginative spread offense Notre Dame averaged 36.7 points, 147 yards rushing and 330 passing per game! 7 starters return on offense, so watch out. Senior QB Brady Quinn is back after passing for 32 TDs, just 7 INTs and 3,919 yards.

Three starters return to the offensive line. Junior RB Darius Walker (1,196 yards, 9 TDs) led the Irish in rushing and caught 43 passes for 351 yards. Quinn has quality targets in 6-foot-5 senior WR Jeff Samardzija (1,274 yards, 15 TDs), senior WR Rhema McKnight and 6-foot-6 junior TE John Carlson. The defense is average, though 9 starters return, so the offense may have to carry the load. The schedule isn’t that bad, outside of a revenge trip to USC.

6. U.S.C: 2006 hasn’t been kind to the Trojans, with the shocking loss to USC in January for the national title, the loss of its best offensive players to the NFL, and some embarrassing off-field problems. The offense won’t be as devastating, but will be potent. New quarterback junior John David Booty steps in (327 yards, 64.3% completions, 3 TDs, 2 INTs in 2005).

The best news of all is that the best wide receiving duo in the nation is back in senior Steve Smith and junior WR Dwayne Jarrett (1,274 yards, 16 TDs). Pete Carroll has some teaching to do with the defense, especially with a young secondary. USC is 20-0 SU, 14-6 ATS at home the last three seasons! Road trips to Arkansas and UCLA could be challenging, along with home dates with Nebraska, Arizona State, Oregon, Cal and Notre Dame.

5. Iowa: Kirk Ferentz has a talented team and a sensational home field advantage at Kinnick Stadium. Iowa has won 22 of 23 home games and is 28-3 SU, 24-5-2 ATS at home the last four years! 7 starters return on offense and 7 on defense. The offense is loaded after averaging 30 points, 174 yards rushing and 258 passing. Senior QB Drew Tate (22 TDs, 7 picks) leads the way, a three-year starter, with senior TE Scott Chandler and RB Albert Young (1,334 yards).

Linebackers Mike Linkenborg, Edmond Miles and Mike Humpal step in for departed ace Chad Greenway. They have 7 home games with the only tough road game at Michigan, October 21st. There are only four teams that have made four straight appearances in a January Bowl: Iowa, USC, Florida State and Georgia.

4. Auburn: Some thought 2004 was a fluke, when Tommy Tuberville’s team went 13-0. All they did was follow that with a 9-3 SU, 8-2 ATS campaign in 2005. Auburn will again be a power running team with everyone returning in the backfield. Junior QB Brandon Cox (15 TDs, 8 INTs, 2,324 yards) will run the attack and their three top rushers are back in senior Kenny Irons (1,293 yards, 5.1 ypc, 13 TDs), senior Tre Smith and junior RB Brad Lester.

One key is the offensive line, which loses some top players to the NFL, but has 6-foot-8 King Dunlap and 6-5 Leon Hart to replace them, along with returning guards Tim Duckworth and Ben Grubbs. The defense has 6 starters back on a unit that allowed just 15.5 points, 3.5 yards per carry and yards 198 passing per game! A new defensive coordinator comes aboard in Will Muschamp, who was with the Dolphins last season and was LSU’s defensive coordinator when they won the title under Nick Saban in 2003. The schedule is manageable with SEC road games at Mississippi State, South Carolina, Ole Miss and Alabama.

3. Oklahoma: It’s easy to forget that the Sooners played for the national title less than two years ago. Easy to forget, that is, unless you are a Sooners’ fan after USC plugged them 55-19 in the 2005 Orange Bowl. But Head Coach Bob Stoops has a fine group of talent returning to a team that was 8-4. A young defense returns much of its key players, including senior DE Larry Birdine and senior LB Rufus Alexander.

The offense has good balance, averaging 177 yards rushing and 177 passing. Sophomore QB Rhett Bomar made good strides and the running game has an ace in junior RB Adrian Peterson, who looks to bounce back after an injury-plagued campaign. He has run for 1,108 yards and 1,925 yards the last two seasons. We will know early about this team, as Oklahoma plays at Oregon in September (the same team they upset in the bowl game) and the October 7 showdown with Texas (sans Vince Young).

2. Ohio State: The Buckeyes will be in the running for the national title again. Remember that they finished 10-2 SU, 9-3 ATS last season, losing only to one-loss Penn State and unbeaten eventual national champion Texas (a 25-22 loss at home). The 2006 offense is loaded with 8 starters back. Senior QB Troy Smith ran for 611 yards and passed for 2,282 yards, with 16 TDs, 4 INTs. This offense averaged 32 points, 197 yards rushing and 227 passing.

Junior RB Antonio Pittman (1,331 yards, 5.5 ypc) provides balance, while speedy WR Ted Ginn is explosive. This is an offense that put up over 400 yards on Michigan and 617 against Notre Dame. The defense loses some of its best players, though, including linebackers A.J. Hawk and Bobby Carpenter. September 9th is the rematch at Texas, and road games at Iowa and Michigan State are the only tough Big 10 road games.

1. Florida: While the Gators were expected to be strong offensively under first-year coach Urban Meyer, the defense was outstanding in 2005 while the offense suffered a ton of key injuries. Still, this team went 9-3 while learning the triple-option attack. The defense has six starters back to a group that allowed just 94 rush yards per game and 3.1 yards per carry. They return DE Joe Cohen, DT Marcus Thomas, DT Steven Harris and junior LB Brandon Slier.

The offense returns 6 starters, looks for better health and is going to be fascinating to watch. Senior QB Chris Leak (20 TDs, 6) has been starting as a freshman. He’s not an ideal triple-option QB, but is a fine all around quarterback. There is a lot of speed and depth at wideout with senior WR Dallas Baker, senior WR Jemalle Cornelius and senior WR Andre Caldwell. Senior RB DeShawn Wynn led the Gators in rushing and also caught 12 passes for 161 yards. Meyer has yet to lose in the Swamp (8-0) and this is the 100th year of Florida football. Road games at Tennessee, Auburn and Florida State will be their biggest challenges.
