Ohio State to Win Championship, Pittsburgh, and Wake Forest O/U

The NCAA Football season is approaching and we have already seen the preseason poll of the top 25 ranked teams. There are definitely some opportunities in the NCAA Football Betting market to take advantage of so we can get some extra money in our pockets as well. Today, we are going to dive into some programs and decide whether we should bet the over or under on win totals or even winning the NCAA Championship.

Ohio State Buckeyes to win NCAA Championship (+320)

Now, this may feel like not a great value but let’s dive into this for a second. Ohio State are easily one of the best college football teams as they are the second-ranked program heading into the season and despite losing major pieces of their offense with guys like runner back Master Teague, tight end Jeremy Ruckert, wide receiver Chris Olave, and wide receiver Garrett Wilson but they kept the most important piece to their system on the roster: quarterback C.J. Stroud.

I think Alabama and Georgia have lost too much talent while a lot of the Buckeyes roster are upperclassmen and in Ryan Day’s system will score a lot of points in a relatively easy Big 10 Conference this year.

Pittsburgh Panthers Over 8.5 Regular Season Wins (-120)

The Pittsburgh Panthers may have had their quarterback Kenny Pickett taken in the NFL Draft, they got a transfer coming in to go under center in former USC Trojans quarterback Kedon Slovis. He is a solid quarterback in a weak ACC and that is one of the main reasons why the Panthers are 17th in the nation. They have a solid amount of players returning, including their offensive line consisting of four redshirt seniors and a graduate transfer.

They have some relatively easy games and outside of the regular season finale against the Miami Hurricanes, it is difficult to see many losses on their schedule. The total gives us three losses throughout the season to cash in on the bet and that should be more than enough cushion for a veteran ladded program to continue playing extremely well and make some noise for a potential College Football Playoff spot.

Wake Forest Demon Deacons Under 8.5 Regular Season Wins (-132)

One team I am not buying stock into this year is the 22nd-ranked Wake Forest Demon Deacons. They finished with 11 wins last year, but they already are facing an uphill battle with quarterback Sam Hartman being out indefinitely with an undisclosed health issue. You only get the flexibility to lose a couple of games and their schedule is a little tougher than that.

They face off against the Clemson Tigers, NC State Wolfpack, Florida State Seminoles, and Syracuse Orange so that’s tough. That also doesn’t matter if they are not able to run the table with the rest of their schedule. I understand this is a team returning a lot of starters but a lot went right for them last year and they are going to struggle with Hartman leading the way.
