SMU at Boston College.
Line: SMU by 10.5.

Thursday, 11:00 a.m.

I’m not sure why a game is being played at 11 a.m. on a Thursday, but SMU is the play. There’s a ton of sharp action on the Mustangs despite the public action being shaded toward Boston College a bit.

College Football Pick: SMU -10.5 -105 (2 Units) – Bovada







Clemson vs. Kentucky.
Line: Clemson by 5.

Friday, 12:00 p.m.

Here’s another lopsided sharp game. Clemson was a disappointment this year, and I can’t imagine that they’d be excited to play Kentucky. The Wildcats, meanwhile, would stand to benefit from a win to build up their football program. There’s a ton of pro money coming in on Kentucky.

Liberty vs. Oregon.
Line: Oregon by 16.5.

Monday, 1:00 p.m.

Imagine if you’re Oregon. You had these great aspirations of going to the college football playoff, but they were taken away in the wake of the loss in the Pac-12 Championship. Now, you have to play against this poopie Liberty team. I can’t imagine the Ducks summoning any energy for this game.

College Football Pick: Liberty +16.5 -104 (2 Units) – Bookmaker







Alabama vs. Michigan.
Line: Michigan by 1.5.

Monday, 5:00 p.m.

Something I missed when handicapping the SEC championship is that Alabama is a much healthier and better team now than the one we saw earlier in the year. It’s no fluke that they beat Georgia, and now Nick Saban has extra time to prepare for this opponent, which is a huge edge in his favor.

Washington vs. Texas.
Line: Texas by 4.

Monday, 8:45 p.m.

Going with what I said about Alabama, it would make sense that Texas is a bit fraudulent. The Longhorns got their signature win over Alabama, but if that Crimson Tide team was much worse than that it is now, then Texas doesn’t deserve to be favored like this over Washington.

College Football Pick: Washington +4 -108 (2 Units) – Bookmaker





Washington vs. Michigan.
Line: Michigan by 4.5.

Monday, 7:30 p.m.

Everyone is guilty of being a prison in the moment with Michael Penix Jr. I like Penix, but Michigan is the better team. Washington beat Texas, but the Longhorns’ biggest win was a bit of a fraud because Alabama was not quite the team that beat Georgia. Michigan is a completely different animal, so I expect the Wolverines to cover.

College Football Moneyline Underdogs:

I’ve been having a ton of success using OddsShopper for home run props this summer. I plan on using it for NFL and college football moneyline underdogs. Here’s an example of what you’ll see on OddsShopper:



This says that betting San Jose State at +800 (on FanDuel) is a great value because the true number is +713. OddsShopper lists odds for each game/prop from most of the popular sportsbooks, making it a great place to find some great betting opportunities.

Here are my moneyline underdog bets I found using OddsShopper:
