2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season | 155th season of college football in the United States
2024 Season: August 24, 2024 – December 14, 2024

 

West Virginia Mountaineers over Penn State Nittany Lions

NCAAF Week 1

Thursday, August 31st, 2024
Milan Puskar Stadium, Morgantown, WV

The Big Ten’s Nittany Lions went 10-3 last season, and finished inside the Top 25. But, West Virginia seems to be building momentum. The Mountaineers went 5-1 last season at home, and bring a great chunk of their roster back. Early in the season, Penn State is still going to be figuring things out, while West Virginia should be able to use their experience to start strong. We like the home team, West Virginia to grab an early season upset here!

Appalachian State Mountaineers over Clemson Tigers

NCAAF Week 2

Saturday, September 7th, 2024
Memorial Stadium, Clemson, SC

It was a down year last season for the Clemson Tigers. This is a big one for Dabo Swinney and his crew. They are looking to return to the playoffs for the first time in three seasons, and also to contend at the top of the ACC again. They will face no stranger to upsets here. Appalachian State has won some big games before, and are coming off a 9-4 season. This is a game that screams upset watch. The last two seasons, the Mountaineers have competed until the end with North Carolina. In 2024, it’s Clemson.

James Madison Dukes over North Carolina Tar Heels

NCAAF Week 4

September 21st, 2024
Kenan Stadium, Chapel Hill, NC

There are plenty of question marks surrounding the North Carolina Tar Heels. James Madison was a team that went 11-2 a season ago. They will have a new head coach, but plenty of talent when they come into Chapel Hill. A middle of September loss for the Tar Heels would not be shocking to us. James Madison is definitely the type of team and style of play that can knock off North Carolina. The Tar Heels will want to make sure they are fully aware heading into this affair.

USC Trojans over Michigan Wolverines

NCAAF Week 4

Saturday, September 21st, 2024
Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, MI

No Caleb Williams? No problem. Many feel like the Trojans will like what Miller Moss brings to the table for the Trojans behind center. Lincoln Riley is at the helm, and ready to take the Big Ten by storm this season. Michigan is going to have an interesting season with new head coach Sherrone Moore. They also have to play with a new quarterback following the national title win and entrance into the draft by JJ McCarthy. It’s fun to see these two programs playing each other in a conference game. Look out; as the national champions are on upset watch here!

Central Florida Knights over Florida Gators

NCAAF Week 6

Saturday, October 5th, 2024
Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Gainesville, FL

Big rivalry type game here. Sure, Central Florida has always been the little brother in the minds of Florida, but the Knights are just as good in football. Billy Napier is still rebuilding his Florida squad. He may find himself on the hotseat before the end of the season. It took some time for the Gators to put the Knights on their schedule. After this game on October 5th, they may want to reconsider. We like Central Florida in their second season out of the Big 12 to be a threat to everyone on their 2024 schedule.

Colorado Buffaloes over Utah Utes

NCAAF Week 7

Saturday, October 12th, 2024
Folsom Field, Boulder, CO

If this season is anything like last season, there will be plenty of talk about the Colorado Buffaloes. In the end, the Buffaloes disappointed a season ago. Now, Colorado will look to bounce back and have a big 2024 season.  Shadeur Sanders, Travis Hunter and Dylan Edwards, along with adding six offensive linemen have the folks in Boulder thrilled for football to start. The Buffaloes will be at home here, and the spread may not be too high. Utah brings back Cam Rising, but their 8-5 season of a year ago may have shown they are vulnerable. We like the Buffaloes to grab a big conference win in this game, as they move to the Big 12 schedule.

Tennessee Volunteers over Alabama Crimson Tide

NCAAF Week 8

Saturday, October 19th, 2024
Neyland Stadium, Knoxville, TN

It was quite an overtaking for Kalen DeBoer in Tuscaloosa this offseason. Nick Saban left, and so did a ton of talent. The Crimson Tide still have Jalen Milroe under center. They will look what he can bring to the table. But, much of the rest of the squad is going to look different. For Tenenssee, they are bringing back a bevy of talented players. This game is in Knoxville, and you know games are just different in front of the sea or Orange. Look for Tennessee to get an upset, statement type win over the Crimson Tide in this one.

Kansas Jayhawks over Kansas State Wildcats

NCAAF Week 9

Saturday, October 26th, 2024
Bill Snyder Family Stadium, Manhattan, KS

Rock Chalk! Can this be the year for the Kansas Jayhawks? The Jayhawks have not beat their rival in the last 15 meetings. A season ago, James Madison had them on the ropes and the Wildcats bounced back. The Jayhawks will see an even better offense this season. Head coach Lance Leipold is excited about the team that won 9 games a season ago, and returns Jalon Daniels under center. This is the same guy that went for 544 passing yards in the 2022 Liberty Bowl against Arkansas. We like the Jayhawks to get a massive program win as October wraps up.

Predicting 2023 College Football Betting Upsets
 

Previous Betting News

On August 26, a new College Football Season begins. Most expect the 2023-2024 NCAAF Season to resemble 2022-2023 with Georgia lifting a third straight championship trophy. However, UGA must play without their starting quarterback from the past couple of seasons.

Are the Dawgs vulnerable?

Check out College Football’s biggest betting upsets in the 2023 season.

Predicting College Football’s Biggest Betting Upsets in 2023 Season | MyBookie Regular Season Betting Preview

2023 NCAA Division I FBS season | 154th season of college football in the United States
Regular Season: August 26, 2023 – December 9, 2023
Post-season: December 15, 2023 – January 8, 2024

Predicting College Football’s Biggest Betting Upsets in 2023

Texas will Upset Alabama on Their Way to an Undefeated Season

Even with the additions of Houston, UCF, and Cincinnati, the Big 12 won’t be as competitive in 2023 as it was in 2022. TCU simply won’t be as good.

Neither will Texas Tech. Oklahoma could be but Texas is the better team than their classic rival. Texas is so good that they upset Alabama in Tuscaloosa in their second game on their way to an undefeated season.

Clemson will Start the Season Losing 2 of Their First 4 Games

Some college football handicappers believe the Tigers go undefeated. Those undefeated dreams end on Sep 4 when the Tigers fall to Duke.

Then on Sep 23, Clemson loses to Florida State in Death Valley. The Tigers will start the season by going 2-2, ending Clemson’s hopes of securing a College Football Playoff spot.

Clemson could end up losing two more games this season, to North Carolina and Notre Dame, which means the Tigers may end up with an 8-4 regular season record.

Notre Dame and Wisconsin both Upset Ohio State

Ohio State breaks in a new quarterback after C.J. Stroud leaped to the NFL, which is the reason the Buckeyes struggle in 2023.

Overall, Ohio State loses at least 3 games. But only 2 losses will qualify as big betting upsets, versus Notre Dame on Sep 23 and against Wisconsin on Oct 28.

Michigan, because the game happens in Ann Arbor, will be the favorite to best the Buckeyes.

LSU will Beat Georgia in the SEC Championship

Georgia has a ridiculously easy schedule. However, the Bulldogs could lose at least 1 game during the regular season, either to Ole Miss or Tennessee.

But even the Dawgs head to the SEC Championship undefeated, the Louisiana State Tigers will upset Georgia in the SEC title game. LSU’s defense should be close to UGA’s.

LSU will have the better offense because Jayden Daniels is the best starting quarterback in the conference. LSU wins the SEC this season.

MyBookie Betting Lines for the Season

North Carolina’s Drake Maye will Beat Caleb Williams out for the Heisman Trophy

When it comes to the Heisman, Caleb Williams, the reigning trophy winner, is a +550 chalk. Williams should have a good season, but he’s not going to repeat the Heisman pose.

Drake Maye, who offers +1600 odds at the time of this writing, will lead the nation’s top offense. Maye is going to dominate through the air and on the ground. Maye is going to boost his per carry average, score more rushing touchdowns, and throw 40 to 50 TD passes.

UNC’s quarterback runs away with the Heisman. So jump on the 16-to-1 odds if you agree.

MyBookie Betting Lines for the Most Outstanding Player

LSU Beats Texas for the National Championship

The entire CFP will be a big betting upset. Let’s say an undefeated Michian and 1-loss Georgia make it to the CFP.

Undefeated Texas goes against Georgia while undefeated Michigan faces off versus 1-loss LSU. LSU will upset Michigan as an underdog.

North Texas will upset Georgia as an underdog. Then in the championship, LSU will upset undefeated Texas to claim the title.

2017 College Football Betting Biggest Upsets
 

Previous Betting News

If you like upsets like I do and you want to know when some of the biggest and most value-packed college football betting upsets on the 2017 NCAAF regular season schedule could come this year, then consider your ticket punched!

My first huge upset of the 2017 season comes in Week 1 in what could be the most intriguing matchups on the entire schedule. Consequently, make sure to double check the main betting odds for the NCAAF season coming matches.

A Closer Look at the 2017 College Football Betting Biggest Upsets

Florida State over Alabama

When: Saturday, September 2, 2017 at 8:00 PM ET Where: Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, Georgia College Football Betting Odds: Florida State +7

Analysis: I’ve already gone on record to say that I like Florida State is going to get the outright upset over an Alabama team that showed everyone just how they could be beaten in last year’s national championship.

First, you need a cerebral dual-threat quarterback that can make the right pass – or pull the ball down and run at the right time and that’s just what the Seminoles have in sophomore signal-caller Deondre Francois, who as a matter of fact, says he is excited about his team’s Week 1 opener.

“What better way to open up the season than with the best team in the nation for the past couple of years,” Francois said this summer. “They’re well-coached, they’ve got a very stout defense; it will be a challenge for us to open up the season. This is why I came to Florida State. These are the moments guys like me pray for. I can really set my legacy off with a game against Bama.”

Florida State Seminoles Analysis

Another guy that is excited is Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher, who knows what it takes to win a national championship.

“It’s the two winningest teams in the last seven years,” FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said. “Since I’ve been coaching here, it’s the two winningest programs in America, bar none. That’s what you want to see, the best playing the best. Right now, we’re both considered the best. Now, whether we turn out that way will depend on the season, but I think it’s a great opportunity and a great challenge. That’s what life is. That’s what ball is.” Sure, Alabama is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games, but Florida State is 4-0 ATS in their last four games overall and an identical 4-0 ATS in their last four non-conference games, not to mention a bankroll-boosting 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games against teams from the SEC.

College Football Betting Pick: Florida State 30 Alabama 28 Analysis: I really like new Texas (5-7 SU, 6-6 ATS) head coach Tom Herman and I believe he’s going to put the Longhorns back on the national map at some point in the very near future, but I just don’t see Texas beating Maryland (6-7 SU, 4-9 ATS) by 18 points in their opener to cover the spread, if they even win outright.

Defensive-minded Terrapins head coach D.J. Durkin is heading into his second season and will almost assuredly be better off because of that simple fact. The Terps return six starters on both sides of the ball and have one of the best linebackers in the country in Jermaine Carter Jr.

I genuinely believe that Maryland will find a way to keep the final score well inside the nearly three-touchdown spread, even though his team got smacked around last season by superior teams like Penn State, Michigan and Ohio State. Maryland may be 1-4 ATS in their last five conference games, but Texas is just 1-4 ATS in their last five against Big Ten ballclubs and I don’t think Tom Herman is going to be able to turn things around at Texas without a few struggles along the way. Simply put, back Maryland with the whopping 17 points to cover, if not win outright!

Analysis: Oklahoma State (10-3 SU, 8-5 ATS) had a fine 10-win season a year ago and now, the Cowboys look like they’re poised to take down an Oklahoma team in their Bedlam Rivalry matchup that is favored to win the Big 12 in 2017. While the Sooners have a legitimate Heisman Trophy contender in quarterback Baker Mayfield, I think Oklahoma State does as well in gifted, but underrated quarterback Mason Rudolph.

The Cowboys return seven starters on offense, including wide receiver James Washington, a player that led the nation in yards per catch (19.4 ypc) in 2016 and running back Justice Hill is also back after rushing for 1,142 yards to lead all freshmen last season.

The Sooners (11-2 SU, 7-6 ATS) will have a new head coach this season in 33-year-old Lincoln Riley and need to replace star running backs Joe Mixon and Samaje Perine and No. 1 wide receiver Dede Westbrook. Defensively, the Sooners have an experienced secondary, but there are serious question marks among their front seven. If Oklahoma State wins this matchup, it really shouldn’t be considered an upset, but it will be!
