The college football season is now in full swing, so let’s take a stab at trying to make some money.

We’re back with another addition of Chop Chat’s best college football bets. We had a great week five and finished in the black with a record of 3-1-1.

This now puts our overall record at 12-7-1 after five weeks.

Recap

  • Clemson vs. Virginia Tech UNDER 52-Clemson on the road against a Virginia Tech that’s been dominating inferior competition as they should. Bud Foster will bring pressure and Clemson’s QB will struggle to make plays throw the air. Clemson’s defense will cause havoc against VT’s young QB…turnovers scare me but could see lots of FG’s. Win…went exactly as expected.
  • Northwestern vs. Wisconsin UNDER 50-Both teams are run heavy and Wisconsin has been stingy on defense. The clock will be rolling in this one. Loss…five turnovers and one INT returned for a touchdown doomed this one.
  • FSU -7 (buy hook) vs. Wake Forest-FSU played well overall against a more talented NC State but just lost a few key battles. I expect the FSU defense to shut Wake Forest down offensively. Prolly close early and the ‘Noles pull away late as WF wears down in the trenches. Push, and why you always buy the hook.
  • FSU vs. Wake Forest UNDER 47-As I said, I expect FSU to shut WF down offensively. WF will make FSU earn it on offense and the ‘Noles could be without Auden Tate in James Blackman’s first true road game. Win, went close to how expected.
  • Central Michigan vs. Boston College UNDER 49-Boston College’s offense has been terrible thus far and their defense should be able to limit Central Michigan. Win, and went as expected.

This Week’s Bets

Odds courtesy of SBRodds.com

  • Pittsburgh vs. Syracuse OVER 66-Pittsburgh has like zero defense and Cuse can put up points….and their defense isn’t very good either.
  • FSU vs. Miami UNDER 46-Rivalry game…two inexperienced quarterbacks and two defenses that can make things difficult in the red zone.
  • Duke +2.5 vs. Virginia-The Duke game against Miami was much closer than the score indicated and Miami’s defense is much better than Virginia…yet Duke almost matched Miami’s offensive yardage in the game.
  • Louisville -3 (buy hook) vs. NC State-This is more of a fade of NC State than belief in Louisville. I know it’s a road game, but NC State is due to drop a game and Lamar Jackson and company should have better chemistry than earlier in the year on offense. I just hope Louisville’s defenses shows up.
  • LSU +3 vs. Florida-The Gators have been extremely lucky this season and could easily be 1-3 instead of 3-1. LSU just lost to Troy for heavens sake, but Darius Guice should play and Florida’s run defense has been suspect.
