College Football Odds & Week #1 – 2016

August 21, 2016 | Posted By Freddy Wills

Below you will find the odds for college football for week one starting on August 26th.  Part of my due diligencee on a weekly basis is studying these college football odds, and developing leans for that week.  Another part of my process is running each game through a series of 12 algorithms giving me leans and seeing where those match up.   From there I will see which match ups fall under a certain level of criteria which allows me to narrow down the number of games I’m going to research to the next level.  Rather then looking at 60 games in given week I am able to cut that number in half or even more at times.

According to the college football odds for week one I will be looking at twenty games.  There are four or five that are right around key numbers that I won’t bother looking at unless they get to a key number.  For instance if the game is at 6.5 and I like the under dog, but I”m not crazy about them winning outright.  I won’t even look at that game unless I see that number get pushed to 7.  A lot of the times it helps to still look at the game, because I can always come back and bet it in live action.

Anyway here are some of the games I’m looking at.

• California vs. Hawaii – SOLD OUT
• Indiana vs. Florida International
• Charlotte vs. Louisville – get tickets
• Appalachian State vs. Tennessee – get tickets
• Toledo at Arkansas State
• Georgia vs. North Carolina – get tickets
• Western Michigan vs. Northwestern
• Missouri vs. West Virginia
• New Mexico State vs. UTEP
• Southern Miss vs. Kentucky
• Clemson vs. Auburn – get tickets
• UCLA vs. Texas A&M – get tickets
• LSU vs. Wisconsin – get tickets
• Oklahoma vs. Houston – get tickets
• USC vs. Alabama – get tickets
• Northern Illinois vs. Wyoming
• Notre Dame vs Texas – get tickets
• Ole Miss vs. Florida State – get tickets

These are all games I like and my official NCAAF picks for week one will come from these match ups.  Typically you will see 8 or 10 games so of these 20 games at least half of them I will decide they are a no action for me.  You can see the college football odds below.
