Football odds in college are a bit different than the NFL. No, the football odds don’t necessarily look different, but they are vastly different in how you bet them. While NFL rosters will change a little bit with the salary cap and free agency, many key performers such as quarterbacks, running backs, and receivers will be signed for years. That is definitely not the case in college football where rosters change every year with players graduating and the football betting odds are different.
Football odds in the colleges change because the personnel change. Anyone involved in betting college football odds must look at the coach of each program and whether or not the coach can deal with graduation and reload or whether it will take a couple of years. Certain programs reload instead of rebuild and they always seem to have high football betting odds. These programs are teams like Ohio State, Oklahoma, USC, and Texas. One thing that these marquee programs have in common is coaching continuity. Year after year these coaches prove their excellence at recruiting, as the new players replace the departed ones and usually the team doesn’t miss a beat.
