This College Football Season

Starting with the fundamentals, when we discuss “NCAA football betting odds,” we’re discussing point spreads, totals, the kind that fans may bet on weekly during the college football regular season. The college football betting oddsmaker is supposed to post betting lines that will attract bets on both teams, on both sides of a bet. 

This is important to keep in mind, particularly if you’re newer to betting. It can be annoying if you have a favorite team, yes, because it may seem like the handicappers are against your team from time to time. But, if you really know the game and the players, this is a great opportunity. As the handicappers have to make people bet on both sides, you can pick the side you feel most confident about winning. 

NCAA football betting odds-making isn’t exactly a science, but it’s been around for decades as done by true professionals. From talking to our handicappers, they basically go with: 75/5 collating averages, numbers, statistics, and the like, while 25% is going with your gut. 

Our football betting oddsmakers set a predicted total and then see which fans are going to bet on what. Yes, it may change, depending on who’s hurt, who’s coming back from injury, and so forth. You keep up to date with the game and you have a great chance of winning. 

Think of what our handicappers do as “expert picks.” They’re experts in so many different ways, whether it’s from playing, betting, and so forth. So, these “expert picks” let you know what they think will happen, coming from their analysis. 

A Place for College Football Bets 

The NFL may be America’s pastime, but all those players come from somewhere. The NCAA is close behind. NCAA football packs in the excitement. So many of the players you’ll see in these games are future NFL draft picks. 

You can start by watching Thursday Night Football college games and then watch them all the way through Saturday morning till the last games of the weekend (typically on the West Coast, in Hawaii, etc.) If you’re new to college football betting or you’ve been betting since before there was a BCS, BetNow can bring the action to you. 

College Football: A Brief Overview 

Typically starting in September (and yes, sometimes in August) the season ends in January. Unlike the NFL, there is no “preseason” in NCAA football. All of these games count. Typically, teams start with non-conference games (some of which may be against schools much smaller than themselves) and then move into conference play. 

Conferences play against each other for the majority of the season. Teams with a winning record are eligible for a bowl game, a postseason. The best teams in each conference can play a conference championship game. The top-rated teams at the end of the season will move into the BCS, a college football playoff. This four team tournament will determine the national championship. 

College Football Picks At Our Site 

You can use our college football odds, lines, and the like to make your college football picks at our site. Think you know who’s going to win the ACC? The SEC? The Big10? Then you don’t have to wait – you can bet it before the season (and potentially win more money). The same goes for the National Championship Game too, of course. You can bet this at any time you would like. 

From the top college football squads all the way through those teams that may not even play D-1 ball, you can bet it all at our site. Beyond the title game, that also means the Rose Bowl, the Cotton Bowl Classic, the Myrtle Beach Bowl, the Guaranteed Rate Bowl, the Orange Bowl, the Peach Bowl, the Frisco Bowl, that one Jimmy Kimmel does, and any other bowl game. 

Of course, you don’t just have to bet on the teams that are going to bowl games, too. Even the teams with losing seasons can be bet on as well. Place a bet on any college football games at our site. 

There are no restrictions on how much you can win. Pick the favorites, the underdogs, or anyone else. You can bet on your favorite team, of course, but you can bet on anyone. Sure, plenty of folks bet on the Alabama Crimson Tide, the Ohio State Buckeyes, the Oregon Ducks, and other power teams – but, you can make lots of money betting when those teams lose, too. 

West Virginia, Wake Forest, Florida State, Pitt, the Michigan Wolverines, the Georgia Bulldogs, Boomer Sooner (the Oklahoma Sooners) or any other team – you can bet them all right here.

Football Betting Explained

Essentially, all of your “picks” are predictions. You are betting on your ability to be able to predict who is going to win the game. When you see an expert pick or you view picks from people who have been doing this for a long time, that’s really all this is: they’re predicting who’s going to win. You’re wagering on your ability to predict an outcome, whether it’s a win, a prop bet, or something similar. The services at our betting forum make it possible for you to view all of the options and then make the bets that you want. 

There are many synonyms for these predictions. One of the most common: “picks.” Your “picks” are your predictions, your choices. When you “make picks” you are picking who you believe is going to win the game. (This can be a bit confusing, considering that “picks” can also refer to “an interception” or, alternative, “picks” can be illegal plays where a wide receiver runs a route simply to get a defensive player out of the way.) Yes, these picks are legal in basketball, but picks are not legal in football at any level. 

At our site, we try to provide you with information throughout the week leading up to the game. That way, you have the football point spreads, odds, and more before the game starts. In fact, when they’re posted, you can make wagers tomorrow, tonight, or any time that is easiest for you on each of the NCAA football matchups. 

Lines and Point Spreads

In football, this tells you which team is favored over another. For example, a game may have a “line” of Team A -3 over Team B. This means that Team A is favored to be victorious by three points over Team B. (This can be a little confusing in the beginning for those who are new to this as typically, seeing a “minus” sign in front of something makes it seem lesser. That is not the case here.) 

So, in this NCAAF game, if you were to choose to wager on Team A in this fashion, Team A would have to win by more than three points for you to be successful. If they only do so by two points, you lose. 

Consequently, if you instead wager on Team B and do what’s called “taking the points,” then it’s like the game starts with Team B ahead by three. If Team B were to lose by two or fewer, you would still be victorious and earn your winnings. This spread total can be a great way to win (and a frustrating way to lose). 

This is also where the stat of “ATS” (or “Against the Spread”) comes from. If a particular team, coach, quarterback, and so forth does well “against the spread,” then it’s a measure of how successful they are in regards to the spread itself and not to traditional wins and losses. This doesn’t matter to the coaches, the players, and so forth, but in terms of analysis for bettors, it can make all of the difference in the world. 

Point spread is the same across many different sports, by the way. This is true in the NBA, in the NFL, NHL, MLB, NCAAB, and so much else. No matter what country the sport is in, what round (such as the NBA Finals, etc.) this is always what the line is. 

All of our matchups, each of the ones that you will find at our site, regardless of sport, will have a line, and so forth. Essentially, the matchups are very much what you’re betting on. Remember: matchups aren’t just one team against another, but rather, these matchups could be one player against another on another team, and so forth (such as player props). 

All Games Can Be the Best Game for You to Bet

When you’re making your picks, if you’re like so many, you’ll gravitate towards the biggest games. They’ll see who has the best NFL odds of going on to The Show, which players are likely to be top NFL draft picks, look at who’s number one that week, which are the big open rivalries, and so forth. There’s nothing wrong with that. Many have had lengthy, successful careers betting on who’s going to win those games week after week. 

But, with a site like ours, you can bet the odds, the line, and anything else for so many other games as well. You don’t have to just make picks on the games in the SEC, the Big 12, the Big 10, the ACC, and the power conferences. Instead, we open up all of the country. 

You can pick who’s going to win in the MAC, the MAAC, the Atlantic 10, the AAC, Division II, and so much more. When you walk into casinos, you can bet on all of the games you would like, making money based on your knowledge of the games (well, the right casinos). Thus, we designed our site (as well as our betting apps) to offer that same level of functionality. 

We offer a line on the small schools, the teams that aren’t going to go bowling this year, the ones that may have a combined record of no wins whatsoever, etc. That way, you have a better chance of making real money. You work hard for your money and we believe that you should be able to make money betting how you want. 

What is a Promo?

An often-used phrase, “promo,” in this context, refers to “a limited-time bonus from a particular betting site for bettors.” This can be confusing, as “promo” can also refer to “an advertisement for a game,” or something similar. Typically, a promo gives bettors a discount, some of their money back if they lose, a chance to win more money if they get something right (such as predict the final score correctly) or something similar. 

Sometimes, a promo can be tied to particular matchups, or to a particular line. But, for the most part, a promo is a specific kind of bonus. For example, at our site, we’re always running not just one promo, but many. Through each and every promo we offer, you can find a bonus that will give you what you want for getting it right. 

Whether you’re betting UTC, on matchups that weekend, or anything else, you can find promo at our site that will give you the bonus befitting your betting. 

Remember, we have these in many ways. You can find plenty for NCAAB action, too. As these two seasons tend to have a lot of overlap (and NCAAB can get up to speed by the end of the NCAAF season) these are a great way to make some real money. 

Many Sports to Bet

We’re quite proud of all of the college football options that we offer here. That said, there’s so much more to bet on than just that. For example, we have plenty in terms of NCAAB games as well. From the moment NCAAB tips off, you’ll be able to bet the line and everything else here. 

Plus, beyond offering more in terms of sports, we want to offer more in terms of promos as well. We’re so glad that you’ve come here to bet on MLB, NFL, or anything else, that we want to give you a bonus. As such, there’s a promo for just about every time of year. 

For example, there’s a promo during the beginning of the season. There’s a promo when things heat up, when some teams begin to separate themselves from the others in their conference. Once the BCS rankings come out, we have a promo for that. Once bowl selection begins, you’d better believe that we have a promo for that, too. 

There’s a promo when the tournament begins and there’s a promo heading right up to the championship game. Good luck to you throughout the season!
