Notre Dame at N.C. State.
Line: Notre Dame by 7.5.
Thursday, 12:00 p.m.

Notre Dame is ranked 10th? I’m not quite buying it. N.C. State is a quality opponent, and an outright upset wouldn’t shock me after the Irish beat up on two cupcakes.

Texas at Alabama.
Line: Alabama by 7.5.
Saturday, 7:00 p.m.

The only game we bet on last week was Alabama laying a billion points. The Tide covered, but they had a huge advantage with Nick Saban possessing tons of time to prepare. That’s no longer the case this week against a far superior opponent compared to the one Alabama battled last week. Texas has great talent and could pull the upset, so I like getting more than a touchdown with it.

Oregon at Texas Tech.
Line: Oregon by 6.5.
Saturday, 7:00 p.m.

Oregon seems like the easiest bet on the board for people this week. The Ducks just scored 81 points last weekend, while Texas Tech lost to Wyoming. However, the Red Raiders weren’t focused because they were looking ahead to this game. I love the value we’re getting with Texas Tech with the line moving three points against them through the key number of six.

UCLA at San Diego State.
Line: UCLA by 14.
Saturday, 7:30 p.m.

There might be some hesitancy to bet UCLA after they only beat Coastal Carolina by 14 points, but I doubt the Bruins will have issues in this matchup. San Diego State just barely escaped 1-AA Idaho State. UCLA should be able to get on the right track this weekend.

College Football Pick: UCLA -14 -113 (2 Units) – Bookmaker — Correct; +$200

Stanford at USC.
Line: USC by 29.
Saturday, 10:30 p.m.

USC is favored by more than four touchdowns after posting 60ish points against Boris University and West Clown College. Stanford is a completely different animal. The Cardinal has some quality talent that will make a back-door possible, but that may not even be needed.

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:
