A big-time college football upset play, and advice on ignoring huge wagers in the news: College football best bets
Doug Lesmerises and I are back with Betting the Buckeyes podcast. Doug and Les merises make their conference picks of the week and give their best bets of college football. Since 2019, Doug is 397-320-18 (55%) against the spread. Last week, they bet the first quarter of Ohio State's game to go over 13 points and that cashed within the six minutes. This week they're going to bet over 14 combined points in the 1st quarter.
Rice/UAB is playing a big-time college football game this week. The over is getting 80% of the money. Rice's defense is ranked 129th out of 131 FBS teams in adjusted defensive efficiency.
Kansas/Iowa State is a game with a total of 58.5 points. 90% of the money is being wagered on the over. The market agrees with me that the line is too low. Kansas ranks second in offensive efficiency and outside the top 85 in defensive efficiency.
UCF came through for the under on SMU last week. The total is 64.5 points. FanDuel Sportsbook offers bet $5 and get $150 regardless if the bet wins or loses. Caesars Sports Book offers $1,250 bet on UCF. Barstool Sports offers 2 for 1 player bonuses.

Stanford is a big underdog against Oregon. Sports books limit the maximum wager allowed for all bettors. Mattress Mack bet on college football and won big. He advises people to use critical thinking before betting on big money. He also advises to ignore big wagers in the news. The best college sports bet is to bet against the odds. It's better to follow the signals. For example, don't follow a signal blindly. If you're a sharp bettor, you should not follow it blindly, because sports books would not accept a wagering that large from an account considered sharp.
