College football best bets for Week 3: Austin Mock’s model predicts a Michigan over and a Notre Dame under

With the college football regular season complete (except for Army-Navy), we move on to Championship Weekend, with the Michigan Wolverines taking on the Iowa Hawkeyes in a rematch of the 2021 Big Ten Championship Game. The Wolverines earned a pair of top-ten wins over Penn State and Ohio State without their head coach, Jim Harbaugh, as the boys…

Everybody loves an underdog story. Nothing is better than bragging to the entire bar about the plus-money bet you just cashed. Predicting a college football upset can give you a high that makes you feel like you're standing on the mountaintop. You can bet these Week 10 College Football upsets against the spread, as single moneyline plays, or as a…

With a strong Week 11, we're back up to 60 percent on the season, including 74 percent on BIGGER Bets and 83 percent on B1GGEST Bets. With just two Saturdays left in the 2023 college football season, let's dive into Week 12. Five B1G West teams can clinch a bowl berth with a win. While Minnesota (+27.5) has no chance in Columbus, we will get at…

It seems like we just keep getting week after week of tremendous college football cards, and the slates keep delivering - both in terms of entertainment and cashing tickets. Let's hope for more of the same this weekend as we dive into my favorite plays on DraftKings Sportsbook. Make sure that you are in our DK Network betting group. A lot of these…

Sports gambling is finally legal for all across The State of Louisville and we are about half way through the regular season and ACC football schedule. Not to mention, the Louisville football program is 6-0 coming off of a game changing victory over Notre Dame. Times are good and the vibes are strong. Prior to kickoff of the new year we pooled $750…

We returned to our winning ways in Week 5 (3-2) and did even better with our units (+2). That doesn't include a Penn State second-half bet, which covered by, so give your boy a follow on X if you don't want to miss out on potential in-game action. Our 63 percent clip is better than you could expect for September until you look at our B1GGEST/B1GGER…

Since this season and series are both young, I restate the purpose of this article. Each week I'll list my best over/under (or total) plays and analyze my reason for picking them. Then, using Doc's trusted " Unit Betting System ", I give the wagers to place that will hopefully maximize our investment. The standard unit will be $100. Well, 3-1 sure…

College football season is still more than a month away but with the Big 12 holding their annual Media Day on Wednesday, we are starting to get a taste of the fall season. And one particularly interesting factoid about the Big 12 is that the only playoff teams outside of the Big 10 and SEC over the last two seasons come from this conference…

Didn't the college football regular season seem to go by all too quickly? It feels like only a couple weeks ago that I wrote my first column of the season. In the meantime, I went to eight games, all for my alma mater Arizona Wildcats and fortunately they exceeded my expectations this season. A 5-7 record with a win over their rivals, ASU, for the…

Is it possible to love rivalry week in college football and hate it at the same time? If so, that's me every season for eternity. Don't get me wrong, when it comes to rivalries in sports, there is none better than Michigan-Ohio State football. And this year, with both undefeated and in the top three for the first time since 2006, the stakes are…

As I'm sitting here writing this column, it's truly hard to believe that we're nearing the end of the college football regular season. With some rivalry games even taking place this weekend, it feels like the season went by too quickly. But the College Football Playoff path is still far from clear. At least nine teams still have a chance to play in…

The Oklahoma Sooners will try to build on their win over then-No. 19 Kansas when they face the Iowa State Cyclones on Saturday afternoon. Oklahoma snapped its three-game losing streak with its 52-42 win over then-No. 19 Kansas before having the week off last week. Iowa State is on a four-game losing skid and is also coming off its bye week. Kickoff…

My college football betting model has had a fantastic start to the season. It's suffered just one losing week through the first six weeks (though it was a disastrous week). The model lost nearly six units in one week, but we are still seeing double-digit returns.I couldn't ask for anything better and if we can just keep churning things out in the…

We're getting close to the halfway point of the college football season, which means it's time to sort the contenders from the pretenders. Sorry Kansas fans, it's a really cool story that you're 5-0 and hosting College Gameday for the first time this weekend, but I'm not buying in to your team long term. The same can be said about undefeated UCLA,…

The ups and downs of betting on college football continue, but, luckily for us, we are on the up after Week 5. My college football betting model didn't fare so well in Week 4, but stormed back and erased almost all of the losses this past week. That's how it goes, though. You just hope you end up with more weeks like that and end up on the good…

Last week I wrote about how hot my college football betting model was over the first few weeks of the season and just like that, we come back to earth with a brutal week. Some close losses and some not so close, we can chalk it up to the week to week variance of betting on the beautiful sport of college football. Or we can claim the gambling gods…

The No. 17 Baylor Bears will open the Big 12 portion of the season when they face the Iowa State Cyclones on Saturday afternoon. Baylor lost to No. 21 BYU in double overtime two weeks ago, but it bounced back with a 42-7 win over Texas State last week. Iowa State has won its first three games of the season, including a 43-10 win over Ohio its last…

The Iowa Hawkeyes will take on the Nevada Wolf Pack at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Kinnick Stadium. After an ugly season-opening win against South Dakota State, the Hawkeyes dropped to 1-1 on the season following an equally brutal loss to Iowa State last Saturday. The Wolf Pack is looking for a strong response this week following a stunning loss…

The Iowa State Cyclones will be looking to build on their upset win over Iowa when they face the Ohio Bobcats on Saturday afternoon. Iowa State used a strong defensive performance to pick up a win as a 3.5-point underdog against Iowa last week. Ohio was unable to cover the 28-point spread in a 46-10 loss to Penn State, and it will be another large…

September is here, which means it's finally time for my favorite time of the year, college football season! Since I'm new to writing for SportsLine, let me introduce myself a bit. My name is Eric Cohen and I'm a college football junkie. I'm a University of Arizona football season ticket holder, who despite the two hour drive each way to Tucson from…

Thursday night is the real opening of the 2022 College Football season, no offense to week zero, and we have some great games on the schedule to get things going. Three ranked teams open their season and there is a Big Ten showdown that could have early implications for both teams involved. If you want to get in on the College Football betting…

The 2023 college football season will be the last of the current version of the Pac-12 with ongoing conference realignment, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be excited about what the Pac-12 will put on the field. There isn't a conference you should be more excited about this season than the Pac-12. Caleb Williams gets all the glory but Michael…

When it comes to college football, one conference stands above the rest in terms of on-field production over the last decade and a half and it hasn't been particularly close. The SEC has won 13 of the last 17 national titles, including each of the last four. On top of that, an SEC school has lost in the national championship game in three of the…

Did it feel good to be back or what? Week 0 of the college football season wasn't the greatest of slates, but when it comes to betting on college football, we don't discriminate on the quality of the teams playing. Now our attention turns to the first full slate of the season, the real start of college football. Week 1 will feature 41 games on the…

Rivalry weekend was spoiled from the beginning as Ole Miss squandered away a game they easily could have won and our two totals ended up missing by just one score. Oh well! The regular season has come to a close and we sit with over a 5% return on my college football model's bets and you won't find me complaining about that figure. Sure, I wish we…
