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.

USC opened the season as college football betting underdogs against the Alabama Crimson Tide, and just like the odds predicted, the Tide rolled over the Trojans. Entering Week 2 USC won’t have to face the Nation’s No. 1 and needless to say, they will face a much weaker opponent, Utah State. The Aggies don’t consider themselves a weak team and their performance in Week 1 speaks to the contrary.
The No. 2 Clemson Tigers were eager to begin the season and prove themselves worthy of being one of this year’s football betting favorites. However, their performance in the season opener left a lot to be desired. Sure, the Tigers came out on top of the Auburn Tigers 19-13 but they didn’t exactly dominate. In fact it was one of the worst performances a Clemson team has given in over a year. It’s the first time in 11 games that the high powered Clemson offense failed to gain at least 500 yards in total offense, and the first time since the 2014 season that the Tigers failed to score 20 points minimum. Many consider Clemson to be the frontrunner to contend Alabama for the title this season, but if you were to compare their opening games it’d be clear that the Tigers are clearly outmatched.

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.
