Before we get into this weekend’s best college football betting picks, let’s talk about Purdue. Being a Purdue fan must be the weirdest thing in the world. All they do is knock off top-five opponents. So far this year, the Boilermakers have beaten Iowa, 24-7, when the Hawkeyes were ranked second in the country. This past weekend, the Boilermakers took down another top-five team in Michigan State, 40-29. That victory was the third win over a top-five team during head coach Jeff Brohm’s five-year career there. The other top-five win came in 2018, and will forever be known as the…

Ah, the college basketball season is finally underway, and I love it. On Friday night, we have one of the premier matchups of the college basketball season on the docket. The fourth-ranked Villanova Wildcats will trek across the country to take on number two UCLA at Pauley Pavillion. This is looking like a great matchup, and the college basketball betting odds are suggesting the same. It’s very possible that these two teams will meet again later in the year, possibly in the Final Four. That’s how good both of these teams are. The Wildcats are led by veteran guard Collin…
In Ohio around this time, you can feel the fall weather in the air. College Football is in full swing, as is the NFL. Then, last night out of nowhere, it seemed like every single Division I basketball team played their first game of the 2021-22 campaign. While it’s always fun and exciting to watch the blue bloods of college basketball, some of the best basketball on the planet can be found in the smaller conferences of Division I. Perhaps the most exciting non-Power 5 conference is MAC basketball Some of the best players of the ’90s and early 2000s…
It’s pretty crazy that the 2021-22 college basketball season is already upon us. It seems like just yesterday that Jalen Suggs was hitting a half-court shot in the Final Four to take the Zags to the National Championship. However, we have two games in the State Farm Champions Classic tonight, and there is some college basketball betting value to be had. 2021 State Farm Champions Classic Another year of college basketball, and another two great opening year matchups in New York City. In the Champions Classic “undercard” for the evening, the Big 12 favorites, Kansas Jayhawks, will face off against…
Just as we were getting fully engulfed in the chaos that is college football this year, the college basketball season peeked its head around the corner and just like that, we’re on to basketball. One of the best conferences in all of college sports seems to be Big Ten basketball. Out of the eight one and two seeds in the NCAA Tournament last year, the Big Ten claimed four of those spots. Illinois and Michigan were number one seeds, while Ohio State and Iowa were two seeds. Overall, the conference sent nine teams to March Madness. However, it was a…
Last weekend was separation Saturday in college football. Well, at least in my opinion. Michigan State and Michigan clashed in East Lansing. The Spartans landed the final blow on a Charles Brantley interception of Michigan quarterback Cade McNamara. Michigan State prevailed, as Jim Harbaugh lost another big game, which is becoming an upsetting trend. Down in the south, Georgia used a two-minute flurry of touchdowns at the end of the first half to breeze by Florida, 34-7. The score was 3-0 Georgia, with just over two minutes to play in the first half. Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson fumbled on his…
After a couple of weeks of some great college football, most of us anticipated no fireworks last weekend. However, we certainly got them, and it included a look at college football’s new overtime rules, and I am all in on them. This weekend, we start the Big Ten gauntlet of big games. Which includes a tough college football betting matchup of Michigan vs Michigan State. Let’s take a look at the Michigan vs Michigan State matchup, including college football betting odds and a prediction. Michigan vs Michigan State College Football Betting Odds and Prediction No. 6 Michigan (7-0) vs No.…
The first half of the 2021 college football season is in the books. Now, we can truly evaluate which teams are contenders and pretenders. The 2021 Heisman Trophy odds for those interested in college football betting are also becoming more accurate. Now could be the last time bettors can get a true value on the player they believe will take home college football’s most prestigious award this season. There have been many players worthy of the Heisman Trophy this season, which is not always the case. This season feels like a true race, though Alabama quarterback Bryce Young is the…
Another weekend of college football, another top team falls. This past weekend wasn’t as wild as some of the previous weekends have been, but it wasn’t far off. It all started when the number two ranked team in the country, Iowa, fell to unranked Purdue on Saturday afternoon. Boilermaker head coach Jeff Brohm has his team playing tough going into November. After that, Oklahoma State knocked Texas down off the pedestal, beating them 32-24. “Bedlam” is setting up to be one of the best rivalry games we’ve seen in years. Finally, Georgia stuffed Kentucky all night winning 30-13. However, the…
I don’t know about everyone else, but I still can’t believe everything that happened last weekend. It was a wild college football betting slate, filled with upsets and big performances atop the rankings. Unfortunately, the college football betting slate this weekend doesn’t look as exciting. However, we can handle that, because last weekend was so incredible. Some of the biggest matchups this weekend are Oklahoma State visiting Texas in Austin and 6-0 Kentucky traveling to Georgia to take on the top-ranked Bulldogs. It should still be a good weekend of football. And, if we have learned anything this year, it’s…
