NCAA football betting kicked off earlier this week in anticipation for the start of the season this coming Saturday. For fans new to college football betting, here are three games you want to keep your eye on.
- Washington Huskies vs. BYU Cougars – The Washington Huskies have gone from a cellar dweller in the Pac 10 to a middle of the pack team. With their star quarterback Jake Locker and the offense being made up of seniors, look for the Huskies to take advantage of a rebuilding BYU squad. The Cougars have a lot of questions surrounding them, as they deal with a two quarterback system. Essentially, you want to take the Huskies as Jake Locker is the man in charge, where as the BYU Cougars have no clear cut leader on the offensive side of things. Look for the BYU defense to keep them in the game, but the Huskies to win the game outright.
- Washington State vs. Oklahoma State – Washington State is in a completely different position than their co state occupants Washington. State essentially is the Detroit Lions of the BCS. For years fans have made a ton of money betting against Washington State. This year should be no different. Oklahoma State has made some minor adjustments, but expect them to win by at least four touchdowns when they face Washington State. 90 percent of the money wagered on the game is towards Oklahoma State, stick with the public on this one.
- LSU vs. UNC – This game is rather tricky to predict, but we are going to stick with the Tar Heels. The Tar Heels have six of seven All Americans on the defensive side of things. However, there is a possibility that three of the six defensive players may be suspended for the first game due to misconduct. Nevertheless, LSU is a rather overrated team, their offense is garbage and the only thing they have going for them is their linebackers. As a result we feel the safest bet regardless of who is in the Tar Heel line up, is to stick with the Tar Heels.
