It feels odd betting the over in a Wisconsin football game, but sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone. New customers receive a risk-free bet up to $600 with BetMGM! Penn State vs. Giving up just 3 points at home, I like them to cover here. Northwestern isnвЂ™t exactly spectacular either (and are a team you should never root for, since students shake their car keys at home games to show off their future superiority to вЂњdumberвЂќ Big10 schools), but the Wildcats made a surprise run to the Big10 Championship last season and look like the better coached team (which makes a huge difference early in the year). The Spartants went 2-5 last year, brought in the 46th best recruiting class in the country, and just arenвЂ™t the same perennial Big10 contender they used to be. USC is usually the one I look for to вЂњunderperformвЂќ based on bloated preseason expectations, and MSU has also dropped right into that category since the departure of Dantonio. I LOVE fading programs that are holding on to past glory days. I discussed the importance of new quarterbacks in the last pick, but this one is even easier. Because of that, IвЂ™ve developed some tricks and tendencies that I rely on to simplify the process in predictable ways. ThereвЂ™s no pre-season, very little information on new starters, and you have to make a lot of assumptions to figure out exactly what will happen. NorthwesternД«etting early season college football can be extremely difficult because there are so many unknowns. Virginia Tech simulated 10,000 times Michigan State vs. ThatвЂ™s a big problem, and I expect UNC handles them comfortably. UNC is more talented, and VT lost their starting QB to the transfer portal which will mean a new face running the offence with very little experience. Justin Fuente just hasnвЂ™t produced as a recruiter, and VT continues to slip further into the pit of irrelevance year after year (which, in all honesty, probably makes sense for a school in the middle of bumblefuck Virginia). The Hokies went 5-6 last season, losing to UNC by 11 and to powerhouses like Wake Forest and Liberty. Moving on to the actual game, winning Blacksburg has never been easy, but this VT program isnвЂ™t what it used to be (or even fucking close, honestly). Are they contending for the CFB playoff? Probably not, but theyвЂ™re a good bet to win the Coastal division with Sam Howell back at QB and a top 15 recruiting class. Mack Brown was a solid pick up to lead the Heels, and heвЂ™s turned them into a top program in the ACC (not exactly a high bar these days, but still). Virginia TechДЄnyone who read my CFB preview/futures article knows IвЂ™m pretty high on this UNC program right now. Free College Football Picks North Carolina vs. So letвЂ™s go make some money (Note, all games are considered -110 because IвЂ™m picking at the book spread/total). But those challenges also mean that thereвЂ™s value because books donвЂ™t exactly know what to expect either. ItвЂ™s Week 1 of College Football which is a field of landmines as far as gambling is concerned because of all the unknowns and new players we have to deal with. Improve your sports betting!ДЄside from that, I donвЂ™t have much else to say (those are words I rarely utter, so cherish it).

We send three newsletters a week with free picks, previews & more. IвЂ™m also marrying into a UGA family, so IвЂ™m at least partially obligated to root for the Dawgs (which is technically better than BC, so IвЂ™ll take it). I went to BC and regularly watch my Eagles, so get ready for more BC bets on here than youвЂ™ll see anywhere else (this is my party, I do what I want). To start, letвЂ™s get my rooting interests out now so you know where I stand and you can adjust for any bias you think I have. IвЂ™m an avid football fan and I know my shit when it comes to gambling, so I promise IвЂ™ll provide you with some good ideas and you can do with them what you will. Unfortunately, I donвЂ™t have any previous numbers to back up my profitability because I started at Dimers in December, but, for those of you who follow me regularly, you know I put the time in. So welcome to the ProspectorвЂ™s weekly college football article, filled with analysis and jokes and some solid bets to help you make money. The powers that be got the timing perfect, too, because soccer is on international break, which means I have nothing else to write about (IвЂ™m sure they planned this all for me, and no other reason). You probably didnвЂ™t know that cartoons could cry, but thereвЂ™s a solitary tear of joy sliding down my cheek as I scan across the gambling board, knowing that football is back for the next 6 months.
