If you read the previews, believe the experts, and check the odds it appears the Big Ten is a two horse race. Ohio State and Michigan, at least in the mind of most, have distanced themselves from the rest of the league especially in the East. While I won’t dispute their rightful status as front runners it doesn’t always mean title dreams equate to point spread dominance. Missed the other conferences? Find them here ACC, SEC, Pac 12 Undervalued: Michigan State 2015: 12-2 SU, 5-9 ATS Michigan State struggled early in the 2015 season; at least when it came to Vegas expectations starting the year a wallet breaking 0-6 ATS. There were such high expectations for a team led by experienced pivot Connor Cook the market over valued their potential to cover big numbers (remember this for later) The exact opposite is true of the Spartans headed into 2016. Tyler O’Connor was anointed as Cook’s successor just a day ago.  He’ll enter the season having attempted just 24 passes a season ago but was responsible for leading Sparty to an outright upset of Ohio State as a double digit dog. There’s plenty of experience at running back with three guys toting the rock 100+ times last year. However there’s a major void at the WR position and the coaching staff knows they’ll need a gamebreaker to emerge before conference play. The offensive line requires some seasoning without their C and LT however three starters give coach Dantonio enough of a bed rock to build around early. You don’t just replace three NFL draft choices on the defensive line by waving a magic wand. Malik McDowell, projected starting nose tackle, grades out to All American caliber status and should become the next great defensive lineman...

I don’t remember a year where the Pac 12 felt so wide open going into the season. Conference stalwarts USC and Stanford have  grueling schedules while consistent QB play is a major question mark for nearly every team in the league. When a league is ripe for the picking there should be ample opportunity for bettors to profit in the late night Saturday specials. Betting football this fall? Check out these great promotions from BetOnline Undervalued: Arizona State 2015: 6-7 SU, 6-7 ATS Todd Graham hates expectations almost as much as he hates staying put in a coaching gig. Picked by many to contend for conference supremacy last season, ASU fell flat on it’s face behind erratic quarterback play and a porous secondary. This year the Sun Devils are the forgotten squad in the Pac12 South, pegged to finish as an afterthought behind both Southern California powers. The major question for Arizona State is how quickly new offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey develops a quarterback.  There’s a lot of talk about ASU utilizing a two QB system early in the season until a front runner emerges. Current options for the role have thrown exactly ZERO passes at the FBS level. Regardless of who wins the job, running backs Demario Richard and Kalen Bellage will be the bell cows running behind an offensive line that could surprise Defensively there’s only one way to go and it’s up from the 338 yards passing ASU surrendered on a per game basis last year.  Despite a rash of injuries throughout fall camp, the unit has some playmakers but will need continuity at the back end before the early season show down with Texas Tech. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of question marks at every level of the...

There’s been so much talk in SEC country about Tennessee finally coming of age. The pressure is real in Knoxville for a program seeking a return to glory with 17 starters coming back. When the whole world knows how talented a team is supposed to be on paper, there’s limited betting value. I toyed with putting them as my sell team within the league however I’m drinking the Kool-Aid as well…at least for now. In the west division supremacy appears to be a two horse race between LSU and Alabama (fancy that!). Fortunately for us picking a champion isn’t job number one; it’s identifying teams that aren’t being priced properly by the oddsmakers. Undervalued: Florida Last Year: 10-4 SU, 8-5-1 ATS There’s been so much talk about Tennessee and Georgia as clear cut favorites in the SEC East the Gators have become an afterthought. A tough three game losing skid to close the year doused the optimism Coach McElwain created in his first season.  Florida might be flying under the radar now but they’re still defending division champs until proven otherwise. Defense is the constant for Florida and the unit appears built for more success in 2016.  Unfortunately you don’t easily replace a talent like Vernon Hargreaves in the secondary but Jalen Tabor and Marcus Maye are exceptional players capable of putting their stamp on the defensive backfield. Today’s suspension of Tabor for the season opener against UMASS is problematic yet I’ll operate under the assumption this is an isolated incident.  Geoff Collins’ job won’t be easy; needing to replace key contributors on the defensive line although returning eight players in that group should alleviate some concern. Losing Antonio Morrison’s 103 tackles could be felt by a thin linebacking core meaning senior Jerrad Davis...

The ACC kicks off a 5 part CFB series highlighting some of the undervalued and overvalued sides in college football’s power conferences. Winning bets isn’t a beauty pageant and for those that are familiar with the grind the process often leads to unusual places. Undervalued: Boston College Last Year: 3-9 SU, 4-7-1 ATS Steve Addazio’s team had the best defense in the country last year that the casual fan knew nothing about. BC’s inability to move the ball forward through the air or on the ground in league play kept a stop unit surrendering just 15.3 PPG constantly behind the eight ball. The Eagles return 15 starters and add Kentucky graduate transfer Patrick Towles to their QB competition. BC showed modest promise moving the ball against lesser competition early in the year before Darius Wade was lost for the season against Florida State. There’s a ton of depth at the running back position allowing an experienced offensive line to pave the way for clock control. There’s plenty of experience in the trenches but some of the young talent needs to embrace a leadership role. Defensively there could be an adjustment with defensive coordinator Don Brown’s departure to join Jim Harbaugh’s staff at Michigan. Each of the last two years running against the Eagles was akin to going through a brick considering they’ve surrendered 83 and 94 yards in back to back seasons. Justin Simmons’ presence in the secondary will be sorely missed although the return of eight starters gives bettors plenty to be excited about in Chestnut Hill. Defensive dogs are always my bread and butter; BC fits the mold. If the offense can be serviceable providing adequate rest for an often taxed stop unit the pieces are there for a pointspread darling. The...

No bet should be predicated on trends, it’s like trying to offer a literary critique by just reading the Cliffs Notes.  However, it’s always fun to look at some of the irregularities and quirks that take place over an expanded sample size.  Thanks to the folks at OddsShark here are some notes on this Boca Raton Bowl: Temple (10-3) vs Toledo (9-2) – Temple is 1-5 SU and ATS in its last six games against Toledo.

The total has gone under in six of Northern Illinois’ last eight Bowl games. Boise State is 5-1 SU and 4-2 ATS in last six Bowl games. Northern Illinois is 12-5 SU in its last 17 games after a loss. The total has gone under in Northern Illinois’s last three games.
