Sports Betting College Football Line Moves and Today’s Top Trends
By Doug Upstone
There are several extremely important college football games this week and early, a couple involves significant line moves. Studying line moves can become a very profitable venture if you know what to look for.
CFB – Thursday (109) OKLAHOMA at (110) BAYLOR 7:30 ET FL1
These Big 12 foes have three common opponents and have beaten all of them. Oklahoma has beaten them by 19.3 points a game, while Baylor has destroyed them by 46.2 PPG. This alone is reason enough for the Bears to be moved from -9 to -14 by the wagering public. How the Sooners execute is key on both sides of the ball and they are 7-2 ATS at Waco.
CFB – (151) TULANE at (152) UTSA 2:00 ET
One of the most consistent teams to have lines move towards them has been UTSA. The Roadrunners 5-3 ATS record does not indicate unusual skill, yet six of their games have moved at least 1.5 points at some time this season. Once again, UTSA is on the move, lifted two points to -9 against Tulane. The Roadrunners are 4-16 ATS vs. winning teams.
CFB – (153) FRESNO STATE at (154) WYOMING 10:15 ET ESPN2
Fresno State might be 8-0, but they are not attracting positive vibes with those making sports picks with their 2-6 ATS mark. The Bulldogs have lost some bite, down from -14 to -10 for their trip to Laramie. After a good start to the season, Wyoming is 1-3 SU and ATS in their last four contests and will have has two weeks to fix what has been wrong.
CFB – (161) NEVADA at (162) COLORADO STATE 3:30 ET
Colorado State may have lost to Boise State, yet they racked up 626 yards on the Broncos and are averaging 40.6 PPG since facing Alabama five games ago. With Nevada on a four-game losing streak, those betting football have lifted the Rams from -7 to -9. Nevada is allowing 6.4 yards a carry this season and they are 2-12 ATS when they concede 5.5 or higher.
CFB – (163) COLORADO at (164) WASHINGTON 8:00 ET PAC-12N
After a descent start, Colorado is laboring against better competition and is 0-5 and 1-4 ATS in league action. Washington ended their three-game losing streak the last time out and wants to have their house in order before a treacherous road trip. With the Buffalos 10-23 ATS since joining the Pac-12, they have roamed from +26 to +28, heading to Seattle.
CFB – (179) NOTRE DAME at (180) PITTSBURGH 8:00 ET ABC
The Fighting Irish have won four in a row and have to keep winning to keep their dim hopes alive of reaching the BCS mix. Four of the previous five battles with Pittsburgh have been determined by five or fewer points, which is why it was a slight surprise to see Notre Dame rise from -3.5 to -5. Pitt is 6-0 ATS after losing two of three.
CFB – (199) LSU at (200) ALABAMA 8:00 ET CBS
Football bettors are saying “Roll Tide Roll”, moving Alabama from -10.5 to -13. With LSU vulnerable to the run, how they will contain the Crimson Tide’s running game is a major concern. Chance are it will be left up to QB Zach Mettenberger and the offense to make a close confrontation and the Tigers are 7-3 and 6-2-2 ATS at Bama.
