College Football

College football had the stage to itself over the weekend, away from the massive glare of the NFL, which kicks off Wednesday. As such, college football Week 1 odds saw a boatload of betting action. Six-figure wagers on Miami certainly stood out, as did a $1 parlay that became a six-figure winner. But it’s hard not to open with Western Michigan-Michigan and a few heartbreaking tickets on the big underdog. […]

Last season’s College Football Playoff ended with Indiana lifting the trophy after a 27-21 victory over Miami. So it’s no surprise this season to see the Hoosiers featured in FOX’s opening Big Noon Kickoff. Equally unsurprising in College Football Week 1 odds: Curt Cignetti’s squad is quite popular, even though it’s nearly a six-touchdown home favorite vs. North Texas. "Action is one way. They’re laying the 40 points with Indiana," […]

College football kicked off last weekend with Bill Belichick and North Carolina surprising TCU as 9-point underdogs, winning in Ireland in the first game of the 2026 season. With the focus of this column once a week being on dangerous underdogs who have a chance to defy the odds and get a win, perhaps another ACC team can follow suit and surprise their favored opponent this weekend. On Sunday night, […]
