The way the first 8 weeks of the college football season have gone, you get the definite sense that we have not seen the last of the upsets. We are now on consecutive weeks where a top 10 team has lost to unranked opposition, with the Wisconsin Badgers being the latest to fall.
The way things are going, especially with the conference games still to come, we could potentially be looking at a top 4 comprised of 1-loss teams. For those teams who have already dropped a game, the rest of the season is about winning out and trying to find a way to sneak in. Week 9 has some big games on tap, so let’s look ahead and make some SU NCAAF Betting picks.
2019 College Football Week 9 SU Betting Picks
Arizona Wildcats over Stanford Cardinal
This one has to go down as taking a bit of a chance, as the bookies have these two teams separated by just a single point in the spread. I suggest that this one is a bit of chance because the Cardinal have just 1 win in their last 6 visits to Stanford. They are also just 2-8 SU overall in their last 10 games versus the Cardinal.
The Wildcats are also coming into this one on the heels of back to back losses and are going against a Stanford team that has won 14 of their last 18 home games. Despite all of that, I am still going with the Wildcats to win.
College Football Week 9 Betting Trends
- Wildcats are 4-2 SU in their last 6 games
- Wildcats are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games on the road
- Cardinal are 2-4 SU in their last 6 games
- Cardinal are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games when playing at home against Arizona
Texas Longhorns over TCU Horned Frogs in College Football Week 9
It may not be the biggest battle that Texas is known for, but this is another one that the bookies are basically listing as a Pick ‘em play. The Longhorns are listed as a very slim favorite right now, perhaps because they are 4-5 SU against TCU in their last 9 meetings.
One thing that lands you on the side of the Texas Longhorns ins the fact that they have won 5 of their last 6 games on the road. October has not been a good month for the Horned Frogs, as they are 0-6 SU in their last 6 games played in this month. All that puts me on the side of Texas.
College Football Week 9 Betting Trends
- Longhorns are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games
- Longhorns are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games on the road
- Horned Frogs are 0-6 SU in their last 6 games played in October
- Horned Frogs are 13-5 SU in their last 18 games played in week 9
Nebraska Cornhuskers over Indiana Hoosiers
There are a handful of games this week where the bookies have teams separated by a single point, which means that the SU odds are very good indeed. This is another one of those games, with the Cornhuskers in as a very slight home favorite over the Hoosiers.
Indiana has the better record, going 5-2 SU this season, but Week 9 has proven to be a bad one for them over the years, going just 4-10 SU in their last 14 games played in that week. Nebraska are 3-1 SU at home and should squeak out a close one on Saturday.
College Football Week 9 Betting Trends
- Hoosiers are 5-2 SU in their last 7 games
- Hoosiers are 4-10 SU in their last 14 games played in week 9
- Cornhuskers are 8-4 SU in their last 12 games played on a Saturday
Texas Tech Red Raiders over Kansas Jayhawks in College Football Week 9
These are a pair of Big 12 teams in desperate need of a win, as both only have 1 win in their last 5 games. If you need just one reason to take the Texas Tech Red Raiders here, it’s that they have won each of their last 10 meetings with Kansas. They have also won in each of their last 8 road trips to face the Jayhawks.
Sure, they are on a losing skid at the moment, but there is nothing like facing a team that you have dominated in recent seasons to snap out of that type of slump.
College Football Week 9 Betting Trends
- Red Raiders are 10-0 SU in their last 10 games against Kansas
- Red Raiders are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games on the road
- Jayhawks are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games
