NCAA Football Gambling: Top 5 Bets For Week 4
By Kelvin Hunt
NCAA football week three is upon us. We take a look at the top five bets to make in this young season.
The third week of football gave us two shockers in FSU and Oklahoma getting rolled by Louisville and Ohio State respectively.
Our top five best from last week went (2-2-1), so we’ve yet to cross into the black yet.
Recap
We took USC +9.5 against Stanford last week, and the Trojans just couldn’t stop Stanford on the ground. They gave up 300 rushing yards and lost the time of possession by almost 10 minutes. It’s hard to score if you don’t have the ball. Loss
We took Nebraska -3 against Oregon last week, Nebraska turned the ball over once on the day and that happened in the red zone (Oregon 12 yard line). Good bet here…but result was a push.
We took Duke +6.5 against Northwestern, and Duke just couldn’t get out of their own way. They had two turnovers(a recurring theme for them), both on Northwestern’s side of the field(one in the red zone). They also missed a 34 yard field goal. Solid bet here, just not the result we wanted. Loss
We took Texas Tech -11.5 against Louisiana Tech, and the Red Raiders came through for us. Texas Tech puts up a ton of puts, but also gives up a ton as well. We felt Louisiana Tech wouldn’t be able to keep up. Solid bet here. Win
We took Miami -4 against Appalachian State. We felt that App. State was getting too much credit for their close loss against Tennessee in the opener. Miami has a better quarterback than Tennessee by far. Brad Kaaya shredded the App. State defense for 368 yards and three touchdowns. Win
We’re 6-8-1 on the season. Let’s get into our top five bets.
