College football betting begins with NCAA Division I football games starting in September and continues right through to the BCS Championship game held in January. The options available for college football betting at our sportsbook include weekly games, BCS odds, total team wins, odds to win in each conference, Heisman Trophy odds and more.
In terms of college football betting odds, these are point-spreads or totals that the public may bet on each week during the college football season for any given team. The job of the college football betting odds maker is to put out betting lines that will attract action on both sides of the game. College football betting odds making is mainly an average of numbers and statistics but it is also partly a feel. A good college football betting odds maker will be able to see which way the public is likely to bet and make the odds accordingly. That does not always mean the college football betting line will be perfectly balanced as it should be. The line will probably be shaded toward the favorite in many instances because the public usually bets the favorite.
NCAA football gambling also has more betting trends that prove to stand the test of time, when compared to NFL betting. College football gambling trends can be something the football betting players looks at a little more closely. The NCAA football betting board offers far more possibilities of weak lines than the NFL does. There are far more games and more possibilities for college football betting players to consider on Saturdays than Sundays. The NFL usually only has 15 games per week for football betting players while college has about 50. You can find some interesting possibilities on the college football bet board each week.
Analyzing and Handicapping
Analyzing a full week of NCAA football gambling games can be a daunting task but the good news is that you have almost a full week to do it. College football bet lines come out Sunday evening and the majority of the games are not until the next Saturday. That gives you plenty of time to plan out a strategy and pick out football betting winners for the NCAA football betting week. Also remember that we have a great mobile betting platform, meaning that you will be able to access all the information and even bet while you are on the road or even at a game.
Watch out for the Busy Schedule
For those football betting players that bet on both the colleges and the pros you will probably get most of them to tell you that college football, hands down, offers far more excitement than pro football. There is just so much going on during a college football betting Saturday. You have the early morning games, the noon games, the afternoon games, the evening games and even the Hawaii game. College football is a game of variety and excitement that even the NFL can’t match. Look at NCAA football betting this season and you will be very pleased.

While the NFL is busy dealing with players not standing for the pledge of allegiance the college football betting season rolls on. Hawaii’s loss to California signaled the official start of the NCAA season meaning it’s time to throw some burgers on the grill and some predictions on the line. Included in week 2’s games is the matchup between the LSU Tigers and the Wisconsin Badgers. The Badgers will be borrowing the historic Lambeau Field from the Green Bay Packers and will undoubtedly have a home field advantage at Wisconsin’s most enduring stadium. LSU is ranked No. 5 in the nation and there’s little doubt they won’t come out on top. Let’s check in on the sportsbook odds to see how evenly matched these teams are.

The game will be played at a neutral site but the Wildcats are likely to have the advantage.

College football has officially returned and with it comes frequent visits to the sportsbooks. Some fans like auspicious bets while other prepare to wager on entertaining games that are not as predictable. The matchup between Boston College and Georgia Tech falls into the latter. Neither school is coming off a great – or even adequate – season and will be trying to get a head start on a turnaround year. They will be facing each other on Saturday the 3rd of September at the Aviva Stadium. This will be a neutral cite game as it is located in Dublin, Ireland and it would be practically impossible for either team to call this a ‘home field advantage’. Let’s check in on the NCAA betting odds and see what they have to say about this particular matchup.
The Arizona Wildcats will host the Brigham Young University Cougars at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale on September 3rd. Here are the odds for people who like to do a little NCAA football betting: BYU +1 (-110) 61½ (-110) EV Arizona U -1 (-110) 61½ (-110) -120

Fans of college football know how debilitating penalties can be for a football team. There are very few things that are more upsetting than a costly penalty at the end of the game that ends up affecting the outcome. That’s why it’s important for players to have a perfectly clear understanding of the rules, and it wouldn’t hurt college football betting enthusiasts to understand them either. While understanding penalties may just lead to fans arguing with the refs, knowing which teams are penalty prone can help those who bet on sports from making costly picks. With that in mind let’s take a look at the new rulings the NCAA will be implementing for the upcoming season.
NCAA Football betting fans that tuned in for last year’s Sun Bowl got to watch a game that didn’t lake excitement, but was lacking in sun. Amidst a flurry of snow Washington State was able to overcome Miami 20 – 14. Washington State games are notorious for being crazy and this was no exception. The 1st half was manageable, but during the second the snow became so intense that even the cameraman was unable to keep track of the ball. If the cameraman struggled you can only imagine the difficulties facing Miami who are not accustomed to playing in such severe weather.
College football begins on August 27th, but NCAA Football betting fans don’t have to wait until then to pick their favorite for next year’s title. The sportsbooks might tell you there are only two teams who are contending for next year’s national championship (Alabama and Clemson are currently tied for favorites with +730 odds) but NCAA Football betting fans know the sport is riddled with surprises. One school whose 2016 success might not come off as a complete surprise is Notre Dame.
