Saturday, October 7th, 2023

This will give plenty of folks in Ames a chance to get ready for this affair. Iowa State expects to be improved and will love to send their defensive unit at a new quarterback for the Horned Frogs.

Kyle Field | College Station, TX

Anytime you get Nick Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide to come to your place, you got to make sure you are as prepared as possible. The coaches will prepare. The team will prepare. The crowd will prepare. The entire country outside of Crimson Tide nation will be pulling for the Aggies in this one. The SEC would love to see a Texas A+M win. The problem is – can they compete with the talent that the Crimson Tide will bring to the field in this one? Alabama will still be a road favorite.

Previous Betting News

The oddsmakers have spoken, and the early lines for Week 6 of the College Football season have been released. After scouring over the lines, we’ve found a couple of games that we’re pretty sure of. Let’s take a look at those games, and we’ll give you our sure losers for the upcoming week so you can bet against their NCAA Football Lines.

Who Will Be the Big Losers In Week 6 of the 2022 College Football Season?

Texas A&M Aggies @ Alabama Crimson Tide (-22.5)

We all remember the big celebration in College Station last season when Texas A&M beat Alabama. It was the first time that Nick Saban had ever lost to one of his former assistant coaches. At that time, Alabama losing was a huge deal, but it didn’t go much further than that.

Fast forward a few months, and there seems to be a lot more on the line now. After a war of words this past summer between Saban and Aggies head coach Jimbo Fisher, this game will have a lot of storylines surrounding it. Saban accused Fisher of taking advantage of the NIL rules. Fisher fired back at Saban, and then it became a huge deal. While both Saban and Fisher will downplay the situation this week, it will be a huge topic of conversation.

This was supposed to be the year that Fisher broke through and contended for the SEC title. Well, that hasn’t worked out this season, as the Aggies already have two losses, including one to Appalachian State. Seemingly out of the SEC race after last weekend’s loss to Mississippi State, the Aggies will be looking to play spoiler.

Alabama nearly blew a large lead to Arkansas, but some big plays late in the game led to a lopsided Crimson Tide victory. Another topic of conversation this week will be about Bryce Young’s shoulder injury. Young left the Arkansas game, but backup quarterback Jalen Milroe made some huge plays, and the Tide didn’t seem to miss a beat. It sounds like Young will play this week, but if not, Alabama will still be in good hands.

The oddsmakers think that this will be a blowout, and so do we. We’re going to make Texas A&M one of this week’s sure losers. Alabama is 17-5 against the spread in their last 22 home games. Saban will want to stick it to Fisher, despite downplaying the whole situation. Alabama will be out to prove a point, and they’ll do it. The Tide win this one by at least 28 points.

Washington State Cougars @ USC Trojans (-14)

At the time, Washington State’s win at Wisconsin was a huge upset, but now it doesn’t look so big. The Cougars nearly beat Oregon as well, so this team is for real. Coming off of an impressive win over Cal last weekend, the Cougars seem ready to take on one of the top teams in the nation.

USC is coming off of a nice win over Stanford. Caleb Williams is making a case for an invite to New York for the Heisman Trophy ceremony, and wide receiver Jordan Addison is cementing his status as one of the top picks in next year’s NFL Draft. Lincoln Riley has things rolling in Southern California, and we’re not sure if anyone can slow them down. 

USC has been made a 14-point favorite. We really like USC, and that’s why we’re going to make Washington State one of our sure losers of the week. Washington State has a very good passing attack, but USC has one of the better pass defenses in the country. While Washington State will put up a good fight, the Trojans will win this one by at least 20.

Week 6 of the College Football Season is upon us, and we’re in the thick of conference action. We saw some huge matchups last weekend, and we’ll see some more on Saturday. The early lines have been released by the oddsmakers, and we’ve found some games that we think we’re confident in. Here are a couple of games that we think you can turn a few bucks into a lot of money if you’re willing to place a NCAAF odds.

College Football Betting Preview Week 6

Maryland Terrapins @ Ohio State Buckeyes (-19.5)

After losing to the Oregon Ducks in Week 2 of the season, the Buckeyes knew that their road to the College Football Playoffs had just gotten a lot tougher. And this past weekend, the road got even rougher, as the Ducks lost to the Stanford Cardinal. 

Ohio State had little margin for error, but after Oregon’s loss, they have even less margin now. The Buckeyes crushed Rutgers 52-13 on Saturday. CJ Stroud, who was questionable entering the game, showed everyone that he’s ready to carry the Buckeyes, as he threw for over 300 yards with five touchdown passes.

Stroud does have an advantage that no one else has, as he quite possibly has the best group of wide receivers in the country. Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson continue to play well, and are very hard to stop. They’ll need to play big in the upcoming weeks.

The Maryland Terrapins were 4-0 heading into their matchup with the #5-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes last Friday night. College Park was ready for a huge game. Unfortunately, the home faithful were let down, as the Hawkeyes destroyed the Terps 51-14. Taulia Tagovailoa threw five interceptions in the blowout loss.

While the Terps will be looking to rebound from this huge loss, things aren’t going to be easy, as they travel to Columbus. Ohio State looks to be rounding into form, and they know that they can’t have any letdowns. We think we’re going to see another blowout loss for Maryland. The Buckeyes show everyone that they’re not done yet, and blow out the Maryland Terrapins by at least four touchdowns.

Michigan State Spartans (-4.5) @ Rutgers Scarlet Knights

While the Spartans were predicted to finish near the bottom of the Big 10 standings this season, Mel Tucker had other thoughts. In just the second year of his rebuild, Tucker has the Spartans sitting at 5-0 and ranked 11th in the country.

A huge reason for their 5-0 start is Heisman Trophy candidate Kenneth Walker III. He had 126 yards and three touchdowns in MSU’s victory over Western Kentucky last weekend. Until someone finds a way to stop Walker, it’ll be hard to beat Sparty.

Former NFL defensive coordinator, and now Rutger head coach Greg Schiano may have a magic formula to stop Walker. Rutgers will do everything in their power to stop the powerful Spartan rushing attack. 

While we think this will be a very close game, as Michigan State is due for a clunker, we still think that the Spartans find a way to win, and will cover the 4.5-point spread. Michigan State wins this one 27-20 when they score a late touchdown.

Can the Central Florida Knights get the big road win over Cincinnati to keep their New year’s day bowl hopes alive after suffering an early loss this season? Are the Oklahoma State Cowboys a lock to take down Big 12 rival Texas Tech when they square off in the Lone Star State on Saturday. Last but not least, is 18th-ranked Michigan in trouble when they host No. 14 Iowa in their now intriguing Big Ten battle? With a bunch of exciting matchups on tap for this weekend’s quickly-approaching slate of College Football Week 6 contests, let’s find out which teams are offering some great value in their respective matchups.

2019 College Football Week 6 Odds, Overview & Picks

No. 18 Central Florida (4-1) at Cincinnati (3-1)

• College Football Week 6 Odds: UCF -4 / Total: 60

Central Florida bounced back from their one-point road loss against Pittsburgh to lay a huge, 56-21 smackdown on Connecticut last weekend while Cincinnati also topped the half-century mark by spanking Marshall 52-14 the last time out. Central Florida has won three straight in this AAC rivalry including an emphatic 38-13 beat-down as a 6.5-point home favorite a year ago.

The Knights are a near-perfect 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS loss and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 conference games while Cincinnati has gone 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games against a team with a winning record and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. With the favorite in this rivalry going 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and the Knights getting some phenomenal play from quarterback Dillon Gabriel, UCF is the pick to win and narrowly cover the chalk.

Pick: Central Florida -4

No. 25 Oklahoma State (4-1) at Texas Tech (2-2)

• When: Saturday, October 5, 2019 at 12:00 PM ET
• Where: Jones AT&T Stadium, Lubbock, Texas
• College Football Week 6 Odds: Oklahoma State -10 / Total: 62.5

Outside of their narrow 36-30 loss to Texas, Oklahoma State is looking rock-solid this season and they come into this contest off a 26-13 home win over K-State as a 4-point favorite last weekend. Texas Tech has dropped two straight including their embarrassing 55-16 road loss against mighty Oklahoma last weekend that came on the heels of their 28-14 smackdown loss to Arizona a week earlier.

While the Red Raiders got a stunning 41-17 road win over the Cowboys a year ago, Oklahoma State had won each of the previous nine meetings and I fully expect the Cowboys to get back in the win column against their conference rivals in this affair despite being on the road. Oklahoma State running back Chuba Hubbard is having a campaign for the ages with 938 yards so far this season while averaging a mind-boggling 7.3 yards per carry. Hubbard has rushed for over 256 yards in two of his last three games, including a stupendous 296 yards last weekend. The road team in this Big 12 rivalry has gone 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and Oklahoma State is 4-1 in the last five. No doubt…the Cowboys win big here to cover the chalk with room to spare!

Pick: Oklahoma State -10

No. 14 Iowa (4-0) at No. 18 Michigan (3-1)

• When: Saturday, October 5, 2019 at 12:00 PM ET
• Where: Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan
• College Football Week 6 Odds: Michigan -3.5/ Total: 48

Iowa is looking great heading into their matchup against Michigan this coming weekend. The Hawkeyes are coming off an emphatic 48-3 spanking of Middle Tennessee State last weekend and they’ve held the opposition to 17 points or less in every game this season, although it should be noted they haven’t played the best competition through four games.

Michigan bounced back nicely from their resounding loss against Wisconsin one week earlier to shut Rutgers out 52-0 last weekend, but the Wolverines are clearly a team with problems this season. To make matters worse for No. 18 Michigan, they’ve also dropped two straight and four of the last five meetings against the Hawkeyes, including a crushing 14-13 road loss last season.

The underdog in this Big Ten rivalry is11-3 in the last 14 meetings and Iowa has gone 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games after limiting their previous opponent to less than 100 rushing yards. With Michigan going 1-7 ATS in their last eight games and 0-5 ATS in their last five games following an SU win, I think the handwriting is on the wall here. Iowa gets the win by shutting down Shea Patterson and the rest of Michigan’s wobbly offense.

Pick: Iowa +3.5

 

 

Previous Betting News

Could Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher face some discipline from the school? In Saturday’s 24-17 win over Arkansas in Dallas, Fisher grabbed a Texas A&M linebacker’s face mask in the huddle during a timeout, taking more steps toward him after shoving him away. The player defended Fisher on Twitter after the game and did so again on Monday so that will probably be that. Here’s a look at three interesting matchups this week alongside the latest NCAA Football Week 6 odds.

NCAA Football Week 6 Odds Overview & Top Picks

No. 4 Clemson at Wake Forest (+17)

It’s a 3:30 start on ESPN. Will the Tigers have starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence? The freshman left Saturday’s near huge upset loss to Clemson with a head injury. Lawrence was hit near his head on a run play late in the second quarter against Syracuse and missed the rest of the game in concussion protocol, but head coach Dabo Swinney said the freshman quarterback was alert and active on the sideline. Chase Brice entered in relief of Lawrence and led a furious second-half comeback, including converting a critical fourth-and-6 play, as the No. 4 Tigers scored with 41 seconds left to secure a 27-23 win.

“He was very good after the game. Felt great. And I think the doctors are very encouraged by what they saw. They’ll continue to re-evaluate him, and we’ll see,” Swinney said Monday. Swinney told reporters that he expects to see Lawrence back in practice this week, but it’s ultimately up to the medical staff. From all accounts, it seems as if there’s a good chance we see him suit up and play against Wake Forest this weekend. If not, Brice makes his first career start.

Wake Forest just trashed Rice to improve to 3-2. Receiver Greg Dortch leads the Demon Deacons with 45 catches for 555 yards and five touchdowns. He has also returned two punts for touchdowns and is one of the most dynamic playmakers in the country. However, Wake Forest has allowed 41 and 56 points to the two Power 5 teams it has faced this season.

No. 19 Texas vs. No. 7 Oklahoma (-7.5)

It’s the annual Red River Showdown from Dallas at noon ET on Fox. The Sooners have won six of the past eight in the series. Not since 2012 have the Sooners and Longhorns entered the Red River Showdown both ranked in the top 20.

Texas won at Kansas State on Saturday, 19-14, to end a five-game road losing streak. Sam Ehlinger threw for 207 yards and a touchdown, and D’Shawn Jamison returned a punt 90 yards for another score, as the Longhorns opened a 19-0 lead by halftime. It was UT’s first win at KSU since 2002. Texas has now won four straight games since losing its season opener to Maryland, the program’s longest winning streak since 2013.

Oklahoma wiped out Baylor 66-33. After getting benched for the first series for being late to a practice, Kyler Murray responded with one of the greatest quarterbacking performances in OU history. Murray completed 17 of 21 passes for 432 yards and six touchdowns to shatter Jason White’s single-game school passing efficiency record (348.0 to 303.3). Murray matched Baker Mayfield’s school record by accounting for seven touchdowns in a game and Murray could follow Mayfield as a Heisman winner. He didn’t set his alarm clock properly Thursday night so he was late to practice on Friday, meaning he couldn’t start against Baylor because of team policy.

Marquise Brown caught five passes for 132 yards and two touchdowns, CeeDee Lamb had 101 yards receiving, Kennedy Brooks ran for 107 yards and two touchdowns and Lee Morris caught two touchdown passes for the Sooners.

No. 5 LSU at No. 22 Florida (+2)

A 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff from Gainesville on CBS. The unbeaten Tigers warmed up with a 45-16 rout of Ole Miss. Joe Burrow passed for 292 yards and three touchdowns rushed for 96 yards and another score. Burrow had his best game by far for LSU since arriving this year as a graduate transfer from Ohio State, completing 18 of 25 passes. His touchdown run went for 35 yards and his 388 yards of total offense were fourth-most in a single game in LSU history. Burrow was named SEC Player of the Week.

LSU ran 50 times for 281 yards, converted 7-of-12 third downs and overcame two turnovers. The Tigers had 33 first downs – LSU’s most since 1978 – and held the ball for 35:17. Ole Miss committed 17 penalties for 167 yards, the highest by an LSU opponent on record (since 1937).

Florida was an upset winner at Mississippi State, 13-6. Coach Dan Mullen won in his return to Starkville, guiding Florida to success in his first appearance at Davis Wade Stadium since leaving Mississippi State in November after nine mostly successful seasons. UF has now won three straight games since losing to Kentucky in the second week of the season.

Florida will honor legendary quarterback Tim Tebow on Saturday. Tebow, the winner of two national championships at Florida and the 2007 Heisman Trophy and finalist for two others, will become only the sixth player in school history inducted into Florida’s “Ring of Honor”, joining fellow Heisman winners Danny Wuerffel and Steve Spurrier, 1983 National Defensive Player of the Year Wilber Marshall and the school’s two NFL Hall of Famers, Jack Youngblood and Emmitt Smith.

Previous Betting News

By the 2018 NCAA Football Week 6, some of the major teams will be hitting the halfway point of their year, and it should be clear whether or not they are on schedule with what they hope to achieve. There are always a couple of surprising strugglers at this stage, as well as a few teams flirting with the top 4 who we did not expect to see there. Injuries may also be taking a toll at this point, which is why the season starts to get a little tougher for those still in the playoff battle. Let’s look ahead the best NCAAF betting games of Week 6.

2018 NCAA Football Week 6 Betting Picks

ACC

Florida State Seminoles at Miami Hurricanes – This is always one of the most anticipated games of the season, as it is one of the fiercest rivalries in college football. The tide has turned somewhat in this one over the past couple of seasons. It was Florida State who owned this match-up for several years, but the Hurricanes are now back in business and are the better of the two teams.

This one is always close, though, so we can probably expect more of the same in the 2018 encounter. I am taking the Hurricanes to edge the win here.

Big 12

Texas Longhorns at Oklahoma Sooners – There are a couple of questions about both of these teams heading into the new season. The Longhorns have somewhat stalled over the past few seasons and have been unable to get over the hump to become a contender once again.

The Sooners had a huge season in 2017 but are going to need to find an adequate replacement for QB Baker Mayfield if they are to get back to the playoffs again. No easy task, that one, although I do think Oklahoma wins here.

Big Ten

Northwestern Wildcats at Michigan State Spartans – The meeting between these two last season was one for the ages, and we can only hope that the 2018 version is even half as entertaining. After a sloppy start, Northwestern rolled off 8 straight wins, including a bowl game, to end last season, leading some to believe that they could be a player in the Big Ten this season.

The Spartans will be out for revenge after losing 39-31 in triple OT last season to the Wildcats. This should be an entertaining game, with the slight nod going to the Spartans at home.

PAC 12

Washington Huskies at UCLA Bruins – In a pick that may come back to haunt me later in the year, I have the Huskies winning the PAC 12 and heading to the playoffs. They have some tricky games ahead of them this season, with this one being right up there.

The Huskies should have more than enough to get past the Bruins, but with a new coaching regime in place, you never know how things might turn out for UCLA. Still, I am all over Washington in this one.

SEC

Missouri Tigers at South Carolina Gamecocks – The Missouri Tigers had their way in the SEC East for a couple of seasons but have recently fallen back to earth. There is a sense, though, that they are going to be much better this year, and this game should serve as a solid test.

The Gamecocks made some big strides forward last season and look to be the main challenger for the Georgia Bulldogs this year. This is one that South Carolina should win.

 

 

Previous Betting News

The top four teams in the new Associated Press Top 25 remained the same after Week 5: Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma and Penn State. The defending national champion Tigers more than doubled their number of first-place votes after their 31-17 victory over then-No. 12 Virginia Tech. The Tigers jumped from eight to 17 first-place votes Sunday. Some college football odds could change before the games start, so here’s two weekday games worth NCAAF betting picks for Week 6: No. 17 Louisville at No. 24 NC State and Memphis at UConn.

Top NCAAF Betting Picks & Previews for Week 6

How To Bet Louisville at NC State NCAAF Odds & Gamr Info

When: Thursday, 8 PM ET
Where: Carter-Finley Stadium, Raleigh
TV: ESPN
Opening NCAAF Betting Lines: Louisville -2.5

Why Bet On Louisville?

Because the Cardinals have reigning Heisman winner Lamar Jackson. In Saturday’s 55-10 rout of Murray State, Jackson had four first-half TDs and didn’t play after the break except for one play. When the second half began, redshirt freshman backup Jawon Pass took over at quarterback. A moment later, Pass’ helmet came off, so Jackson had to go in for a play. He jogged on, flipped a pass over the middle and jogged off.

Jackson threw for 249 yards and three scores. He added 100 yards rushing and a TD on seven carries. He’s now just 13 yards short of becoming the seventh player in Atlantic Coast Conference history to reach 10,000 total career yards. Jackson broke the UofL record for points responsibility, accounting for his 554th to pass the mark previously held by Chris Redman (536, 1996-99).

Jackson moved into second on the school’s career rushing yards, with 2,968. He passed Nathan Poole (2,958, 1975-78) for second and only trails Walter Peacock, who registered 3,204 from 1972-75. Jackson set the Louisville record for most 100-yard rushing games, gaining 100 or more yards on the ground for the 16th time. Jackson totaled 349 yards of total offense, tying him with Teddy Bridgewater for third on the school’s career total yards list. Both have 9,987 total yards, putting Jackson 833 yards shy of moving past Brian Brohm (10,819, 2004-07) for second on the school’s list. Jackson now has 7,019 career passing yards, putting him six yards shy of passing Jay Gruden (7,024, 1985-88) for fifth on the school’s list.

It is the second time this season the Cardinals’ offense totaled more than 600 yards (676 versus Murray State; 705 versus North Carolina). Louisville went 8 for 8 in the red zone, marking the Cardinals’ best performance since going 8 for 8 against NC State on Oct. 22, 2016. UofL set a school record for margin of total offense, outgaining Murray State by 596 yards. The previous record was 516 yards against Western Kentucky in 1989.

Why Bet On NC State?

The Wolfpack (4-1) are ranked for the first time in six years. They come off a 33-25 win over Syracuse. NC State came out of the gates hot and scored on each of its first five possessions in building a 26-7 halftime lead.

For the third straight week, RB Nyheim Hines set a career high in rushing yards. For the first time in his career, and the first time for a Wolfpack player this year, Hines went over the century mark and finished with 115 yards. QB Ryan Finley increased his nation best streak with most attempts without an INT, now reaching 246 dating back to last season. He moved into third place in ACC history, 24 away from second.

DE Bradley Chubb finished with 3.5 tackles for loss on the day, which brings his career total to 46 and moves him into second place in the NC State record books only behind Mario Williams (55.5). Chubb has a tackle for loss in every game this season thus far.

The Wolfpack were routed at Louisville last year. Jackson scored on a 36-yard run on the third play from scrimmage. Finley threw an interception on the fourth. Jackson threw for 355 yards and three touchdowns and left early in the blowout. NC State benched Finley in the first half.

How To Bet Memphis at UConn NCAAF Odds & Game Info

When: Friday, 7 PM ET
Where: Rentschler Field, East Hartford
TV: ESPN
Stream: WatchESPN
Radio: 91.7 FM (Memphis) / WTIC 1080 AM (UConn)
Opening NCAAF Betting Lines: Memphis -14

Why Bet On Memphis?

The Tigers come off a 40-13 loss at Central Florida, which is a very good team. The Knights scored 34 unanswered points. Memphis, meanwhile, committed five turnovers, including four by quarterback Riley Ferguson, and only made matters worse. The Tigers struggled on both sides of the ball, allowing 603 total yards.

The offensive line has more than held its own in 2017, but it didn’t own the line of scrimmage vs. UCF. The Knights had 223 yards on the ground on 24 carries, including a 96-yard sprint to the end zone by Adrian Killins in the second quarter — the longest play from scrimmage in the history of the American Athletic Conference and the second-longest in the Football Bowl Subdivision this season. Memphis, in contrast, had just 54 yards on 14 carries. Without a last-second touchdown pass to Damonte Coxie, the Tigers would’ve finished in single digits for the first time since a 24-3 loss to Ole Miss in 2014.

“We’ve got to pick ourselves up. We’ve got to move forward. That starts with me,” Coach Mike Norvell said. “What you saw out there, obviously I didn’t have our team prepared well enough to go out there and perform at the level that I know we’re capable of. We’re 0-1 in conference play. We have a short week coming up, so we’re going to be playing Friday night. We’ve got to bounce back. Our kids, we’ve got to figure out whatever it is in our preparation that didn’t allow us to apply that onto the field tonight. So (that’s) coaches, players — everybody involved.”

Why Bet On UConn?

The Huskies (1-3) lost 49-28 to SMU. UConn trailed 21-10 at halftime but cut the deficit to one with 10-straight third-quarter points and tied it at 28 early in the fourth. Bryant Shirreffs passed for 408 yards and two TDs for the Huskies but was sacked eight times.

UConn was 3 of 13 on third-down conversions, and SMU was 9 of 17. The Huskies are allowing opponents to convert 45.16 percent of third downs (28 of 62), which ranks tied for 110th in the nation. UConn is converting 37.25 percent of theirs, tied for 80th (with Memphis).

Connecticut has — statistically, at least — one of the top passing attacks in the nation. The Huskies’ average of 329.8 passing yards a game ranks 12th among 130 FBS teams. Shirreffs, the starter for much of three seasons, is fourth in the nation with a passer rating of 182.33, behind only Baker Mayfield of Oklahoma, Dalton Sturm of Texas-San Antonio and Mason Rudolph of Oklahoma State.

Shirreffs debuted this season late in the third quarter of the opener against Holy Cross, taking over for a struggling David Pindell and leading UConn to three touchdown drives and a comeback victory. In three-plus games, Shirreffs is 73 of 106 for 1,165 yards, eight touchdowns and two interceptions. He is averaging 291.3 yards, 16th in the nation. He’s 14th in completion percentage (68.9).

Expert NCAAF Betting Prediction for Week 6

Take the Cardinals at -2.5 as that line could move up to 3 or 3.5. Memphis will beat UConn but take those two touchdowns. These are our NCAAF betting picks for our Week 6.

A Closer Look At The College Football Week 6 Expert Picks For Top Favorites

Clemson at Boston College

When: Friday, October 7, 2016
Where: Alumni Stadium
TV: ESPN
Live Stream: Watch ESPN
NCAAF Odds: Clemson -17

Analysis: While Boston College Eagles (17.2 ppg) has an elite defense, so does Clemson (16.0 ppg). However, the BC Eagles just don’t have enough offensive firepower to keep up with the explosive Tigers. Clemson (5-0 SU, 3-2 ATS) averages a stellar 35.2 points per game to rank 48th nationally while Boston College (2-2 SU, 2-2 ATS) averages a more modest 23.4 points per contest.

Not only that, but the Tigers have a huge edge in overall talent level and know this is a game they cannot afford to take lightly as they seek their second straight appearance in the national championship. Clemson has gone 6-2 ATS in its last eight games, but just 2-4 ATS I their last six games against BC while the Eagles have gone 3-5-1 ATS in its last nine home games and 2-5 SU in their last seven home games.

Clemson has won five straight in this ACC rivalry including last season’s hard-fought 34-17 home win and I think they’re start to hit their stride at just the right time after opening the season with a couple of underwhelming performances. The Tigers are the pick to win and narrowly cash in against a BC team that generally gives them a hard way to go!

My Pick: Clemson 35 Boston College 17

Arizona at Utah

When: Saturday, October 8, 2016
Where: Rice-Eccles Stadium
NCAAF Odds: Utah -9

There’s no sense in beating around the bush with my Week 6 pick on this Pac-12 pairing since I genuinely believe that Utah Utes is going to hand Arizona a humbling defeat after losing their first game of the season last weekend. While Utah is just 3-6 ATS in its last nine games and 2-5 ATS in its last seven home games, Arizona is just 1-6 ATS in its last seven games and 2-4 ATS in its last half-dozen road games.

The Utes are averaging 26.4 points per game while limiting their opponents to just 18.2 points per game. While Arizona averages a healthy 29.2 points per contest, the Wildcats are also giving up a whopping 29.4 points per contest defensively. I know the underdog in this series has gone 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings between these two, but Utah’s loss last weekend – and Arizona’s underachieving defense – leads me to believe the Utes are going to hold it down at home with a big win!

My Pick: Utah 30 Arizona 20

If you’re looking or some Week 6 underdogs that are offering real value as teams capable of covering the spread against their favored opponents, then you’ve come to the right place.

With a pair of Week 6 underdogs looking like excellent underdog selections let’s get started with the latest betting odds.

In Depth Analysis On The College Football Week 6 Winning Predictions For Top Underdogs

Florida State Seminoles (3-2) at Miami-FL Hurricanes (4-0)

When: Saturday, October 8, 2016 at 8:00 PM ET
Where: Hard Rock Stadium
TV: ABC
Live Stream: ABC Live Stream
NCAAF Odds: Miami Hurricanes -1.5

Analysis: Florida State Seminoles (3-2 SU, 2-3 ATS) might be struggling right now, but they’re my pick to beat Miami (4-0 SU, 4-0 ATS) outright to cover the college football betting line as a slight road dog. Florida State has gone a near-perfect 6-1 ATS in their last seven games following an SU loss, 4-1 ATS in their last five games following an ATS loss and a consistent 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall.

While Miami is 4-0 ATS this season and 4-1 ATS in their last five games in the month of October, the Hurricanes will be taking on a Florida State team that has gone 19-4 SU in its last 23 road games. I like Florida State to get the outright road win and ATS cover, mostly because they have more talent than Miami – and a whole lot more desperation.

My Pick: Florida State 28 Miami 24

Alabama Crimson Tide (5-0) at Arkansas Razorbacks (4-1)

When: Saturday, October 8, 2016 at 7:00 PM ET
Where: Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium
TV: ESPN
NCAAF Odds: Arkansas Razorbacks +13

Analysis: While I was really high on Arkansas Razorbacks (4-1 SU, 2-3 ATS) before the start of the season, I’m not feeling the Razorbacks quite as much as I was a month ago. Having said that…let me also say that I still like the Razorbacks to find a way to cover the spread against Alabama (5-0 SU, 3-2 ATS) in this matchup. While the Crimson Tide have won nine straight over their SEC rivals, Arkansas lost at Alabama by last season by 13 points and fell to the Tide by just one point in their heartbreaking 14-13 home loss in 2014.

I know Alabama has gone 8-4 ATS in its last 12 games and 4-2 ATS in their last six road games, but Arkansas is 6-1 SU in its last seven games, 6-2 ATS in their last eight SEC games and 16-7 ATS in their L/23 games against a team with a winning record. With the home team in this series going 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings, I say the Arkansas Razorbacks find a way to keep the final score closer than expected.

My Pick: Alabama 27 Arkansas 21

If you’re looking to make the most out of your Week 6 college football betting selections, then you’re going to enjoy the fun-filled look at the hottest and coldest ATS teams in the country. With that said and Week 6 set to get underway in just over 48 hours, let’s get started.

Take a Closer Look at the College Football Week 6 Betting Guide

Hot

Colorado 5-0 ATS

The Buffaloes are making some real noise in the Pac-12 right now, having won four of five while posting a perfect 5-0 As mark along the way. Colorado is averaging an insane 43.2 points per game while limiting the opposition to jus 20.6 points per game defensively.

Western Michigan 5-0 ATS

You may not know it, but the Western Michigan Broncos are a perfect 5-0 ATS and have many calling for them to become nationally ranked despite their small-school status.

Miami 4-0 ATS

Former Georgia head coach Mark Richt has certainly made his mark in his first season at his beloved alumni. The Hurricanes are a perfect 4-0 SU and ATS heading into Saturday’s huge matchup against in-state rival Florida State. Miami is averaging a jaw-dropping 47 points per game while limiting the opposition to just 11 points per contest defensively.

Ohio State 4-0 ATS

Not only are the unbeaten Buckeyes looking like a very real national championship contender with a perfect 4-0 SU mark, but they’ve also put together a perfect ATS mark by averaging 57 points per game while limiting the opposition to just 9.2 points per contest defensively.

Houston 4-1 ATS

The good news for the undefeated Houston Cougars (5-0) is that they are now on the map as a legitimate national title contender. Houston is averaging a healthy 44,2 points per game while limiting the opposition to just 11.2 points per game defensively. The bad news for the Cougars’ gridiron program is that head coach Tom Herman is so hot that he’s going to have his pick of jobs. Do you hear that LSU and Texas?

Best of the Rest

Texas A&M 4-1 ATS

Not only are the unbeaten Aggies (5-0) averaging a stellar 39.2 points per game this season, but they’re also limiting their opponents to just 15.4 points per game defensively.

South Florida 4-1 ATS

The Bulls are allowing an uninspiring 26.4 points per game defensively, but the high- scoring Bulls are also putting up a stellar 45.8 points per game offensively.

Wisconsin 4-1 ATS

The Badgers (4-1 SU) don’t have the most explosive offense (26.0 ppg) but they’re as good as it gets defensively (12.2 ppg).

Auburn 4-1 ATS

Sure, the Tigers have two losses (3-2) but they’re pretty damned good on both sides of the ball in averaging 31.2 points per game while allowing just 16.4 points per contest defensively.

Not (These teams have all failed to cover the college football betting line at least four times through five games.)

Oregon 0-4- 1 ATS

The Ducks (3-2 SU) have fallen on hard times this season and have failed to cover the spread in every single game heading into Week 6. Then again, when you’re giving up a whopping 36.2 points per game defensively, it’s kind of hard to cove the spread against anyone.

UConn 0-4- 1 ATS

The Huskies have a losing SU record (2-3), mostly because they’re giving up more points per game (26.4 ppg) than they’re averaging (19.8 ppg).

Arizona 1-4 ATS

The Wildcats also have three losses after five games (2-3) mostly because they’re minus 0.2 points in the scoring differential department.

UCLA 1-4 ATS

At 3-2, the Bruins have a winning SU mark, but UCLA is a modest plus 5.8 points in the scoring department.

TCU 1-4 ATS

TCU has an impressive 4-1 SU mark after five weeks, but the Horned Frogs are struggling to cover the spread mostly because they’re giving up a whopping 31.4 points per game defensively.

Florida 1-4 ATS

The Gators (4-1) have an elite defense that limits the opposition to just 11.6 points per game and they still have slim playoff hopes. Unfortunately, it hasn’t helped the Gators cover the spread very often this season.

Pittsburgh 1-4 ATS

The Panthers (3-2 SU) are giving up a whopping 31.0 points per game defensively.

LSU 1-4 ATS

How many ways has LSU underachieved this season? The Tigers’ pedestrian offense (25.2 ppg) got former head coach Les Miles fired after four games.

Iowa 1-4 ATS

The Hawkeyes are averaging a healthy 30.6 points per game but are struggling to cover the spread in a big way this season.

Cincinnati 1-4 ATS

The Bearcats (3-2) are giving up more points (26.4 ppg) than they are averaging (25.8 ppg).

With Week 6 of the 2016 college football season set to get underway in just over 48 hours, you’re about to get four expert college football betting predictions that could help you cash in early and often over the course of the coming weekend. With that said and the start of Week 6 quickly approaching, let’s get started with the latest betting odds.

A Closer Look At The Expert College Football Winning Predictions For Week 6

Army at Duke -4

When: Saturday, October 8, 2016 at 3:30 PM ET
Where: Wallace Wade Stadium

Analysis:
 The Army West Point Black Knights (3-1) are coming off their first loss of the season in their last contest while Duke enters this contest coming off a convincing 34-20 loss against Virginia last Saturday.

Still, for me, the value in this contest lies with Duke, (26.8 ppg) mostly because they’re playing at home in this Week 6 affair. Army may be +20.0 points in scoring differential, but if you saw the Black Knights loss against mediocre Buffalo last weekend, then you know the Knights could lose this game outright.

Army is 4-1 ATS in their last five non-conference games but just 1-4 ATS in their last five games against teams from the ACC. Conversely, Duke is 4-0 ATS in their last four games against Independent teams and a consistent 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 non-conference games. The Blue Devils win outright in a thriller to cover the spread:

My Pick: Duke 28 Army 27

Colorado +5.5 at USC

When: Saturday, October 8, 2016 at 4:00 PM ET
Where: Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum

Analysis:
USC (2-3) has a ton of elite talent, but the Trojans are clearly young and inexperienced. Conversely, Colorado (4-1) has been very impressive in winning four of their first five games, including the Buffaloes’ convincing 47-6 blowout of Oregon State last weekend. USC is also giving up more points per game (27.4 ppg) than they are averaging this season (25.8 pg) while Colorado is averaging a whopping 43.2 points per game and allowing 20.6 points per contest defensively.

The Buffaloes are a perfect 6-0 ATS in their last half-dozen games and 4-1 ATS in their L/5 conference games while USC has gone 1-5 ATS in their last six games following an ATS win and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Colorado covers the spread by winning outright:

My Pick: Colorado 35 USC 28

Georgia at South Carolina +7

When: Saturday, October 8, 2016 at 7:30 PM ET
Where: Williams-Brice Stadium

Analysis:
The Georgia Bulldogs (3-2) and South Carolina Gamecocks (2-3) are both coming off consecutive losses heading into this Week 6 SEC showdown, but for me, the vale in this matchup lies with South Carolina.

Georgia is giving up an insane 30.8 points per game defensively and the home team in this rivalry has gone 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. The Bulldogs might win this game outright, but the Gamecocks are the pick to cover.

My Pick: Georgia 24 South Carolina 21

UCLA at Arizona +12

When: Saturday, October 8, 2016 at 10:30 PM ET
Where: Rose Bowl

Analysis:
UCLA (2-2) is well-rested after getting a bye in Week 5 following their crushing Week 4 loss against Stanford. Arizona (2-2) was also on the wrong end of a 35-28 loss in their last contest, but for me, the Wildcats are the easy pick to cover a college football betting line that I believe is a few points too high for them to cover.

Arizona is 1-4 ATS in their last five road games and 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall, but UCLA is an even more discouraging 0-4 ATS in their last four home games and 0-6 ATS in their last six games overall. In the end, I just don’t see the Bruins winning this contest by nearly two touchdowns against an Arizona team that matches up well against them.

My Pick: UCLA 35 Arizona 31

If you’re looking for some smart bets for Week 6 of the 2016 college football season, then you’re going to find the trio of college football expert picks that you’re about to receive, simply salivating! With that said and the start of Week 6 quickly approaching, let’s rock and roll people!

Analyzing The Smart Trio Of Week 6 Picks For The College Football Weekend

Boise State -17 at New Mexico

When: Saturday, October 8, 2016 at 9:00 PM ET
Where: University Stadium

Analysis:
The unbeaten Boise State Broncos are averaging a stellar 33.8 points per game, but the New Mexico Lobos actually averages five more points per game than their rivals in this matchup. The difference in this contest will be defense. The Broncos are limiting their opponents to just 18.0 points per game while the Lobos give up an overly generous 32.8 points per contest.

Boise State is 4-1 ATS in their last five road games while New Mexico has gone 0-5 ATS in their last five games in the month of October. Not only that, but Boise State is looking for some payback for their humbling home loss against the Lobos last season. Boise State wins and very narrowly covers the college football betting line.

My Pick: Boise State 38 New Mexico 20

Cincinnati -3.5 at UConn

When: Saturday, October 8, 2016 at 11:30 AM ET
Where: Rentschler Field

Analysis:
The Cincinnati Bearcats got smacked around in its 45-20 loss against explosive South Florida last weekend while the UConn Huskies were on the wrong end of a humbling 42-14 smackdown at the hands of mighty Houston.

In this contest, I like Cincinnati to simply outscore a UConn team that is really offensively-challenged in averaging just 19.8 points per game while allowing 26.4 points per game defensively, ironically, the exact same number of points that Cincinnati averages. The Bearcats are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games against a team with a losing record while UConn has gone 4-11-1 ATS in their last 16 home games.

My Pick: Cincinnati 27 UConn 20

Oklahoma at Texas +8.5

When: Saturday, October 8, 2016 at 12:00 PM ET
Where: Cotton Bowl

Analysis:
Oklahoma and Texas are both 2-2 coming into this affair, but for me, the value in this contest lies with Texas for one huge reason – the Longhorns are completely and utterly desperate! The Longhorns might be a complete mess defensively as they allow an insane 38.3 points per game, but Oklahoma isn’t much better in giving up an equally disturbing 35.3 points per game.

Oklahoma has compiled an incendiary 7-1 ATS mark in their last eight conference games, but Texas is 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 meetings against the Sooners. The Longhorns have won two of the last three meetings including last season as a whopping 16-point underdog no less. I like Texas and the points:

My Pick: Texas 41 Oklahoma 35

 

 

Previous Betting News

De’Veon Smith came to the media this week with a story about former Michigan Wolverines head coach Brady Hoke that should amuse most College Football Odds fans, talking about the time that Hoke came to his home on a recruiting visit – and ended up falling asleep. However, Hoke’s recollection is somewhat different, according to Twitter:

Let’s Take a Look at the NCAA Football Betting News and Rumors From Campus

Could Navy be Heading to a Bowl Game

After years of mediocrity, it looks like the Naval Academy will be a serious contender for the American Athletic Conference’s Group of Five spot in the New Year’s Six bowl rotation (either the Fiesta or the Peach this year) this year. This wouldn’t have happened if Navy hadn’t sailed into the Liberty Bowl this past weekend and routed the previously undefeated Memphis Tigers. Navy has SMU, Tulsa and Houston left on its slate, and the only test there will be the Houston Cougars. If Navy can win out, they will be in the AAC title game. If they win that game, they will then face Army in their annual clash.

The Army-Navy game is going to be a part of the CFP considerations. The BCS had decided that the game would not be part of its evaluation, because the rivalry has long been seen as more of an exhibition as anything else. So the Army-Navy game, which would come after the December announcement of the CFP standings, would only influence the pairing announcement that affected Army or Navy. Army-Navy takes place on December 12, and if Navy wins the AAC but loses to Army, and the CFP committee decides to penalize the Midshipmen for that loss, another team could end up in their bowl slot after thinking they were playing in a different bowl. That could lead to an immense domino effect as lower bowls had to deal with their teams suddenly leaving to play in a more prestigious game.

Could Mccafrey Bring a Heisman Trophy Back to Stanford

Stanford University has only seen one player win the Heisman Trophy – and that player was Jim Plunkett, who took the hardware home in 1970. Plunkett did not have all of the social media going his way that current Cardinal running back Christian McCaffrey has. McCaffrey is the best shot that the Cardinal have had for a Heisman winner in years, and Stanford has set up the website WildCaff.com to provide a showcase of their young back who is making a late push for consideration.

As a sophomore, McCaffrey has become one of the new stars in the Pac-12 and is getting more and more national attention from online betting buffs as Stanford keeps piling up the wins. However, his statistics do show some holes. He has run for 1,207 yards, good for a top ten ranking so far, but he only has six touchdowns. He does have 325 receiving yards (and two more touchdowns on receptions), and 605 yards on kickoff returns. He even threw a touchdown pass on a trick play. His yardage is similar at this point to the production of such past Heisman Trophy winners as Marcus Allen, Tony Dorsett and Eddie George. It’s been tough for running backs to win Heisman Trophies in recent years, as only two players have done it since 2000. It’s become more of a quarterback’s award, although this year features a number of strong running backs. In addition to McCaffrey, DeVontae Booker, Derrick Henry, Leonard Fournette, Dalvin Cook and Ezekiel Elliott are also in the “running.”
