College football predictions: Take two underdogs, one favorite

Increase your hand if you happen to’re fascinated by betting on a staff that simply misplaced to lowly Colorado? My guess is there aren’t many palms within the air.

Cal is coming off an embarrassing loss on the street to the Buffs as 16-point favorites. Nevertheless, being a double-digit favourite isn’t a great spot for the Golden Bears. Cal is simply 8-15 ATS as a favourite underneath head coach Justin Wilcox. Nevertheless, the Bears have thrived within the underdog function, going 22-9-1 ATS (71 p.c). That file jumps to 16-3 ATS (84.2 p.c) when Wilcox’s staff is getting a minimum of seven factors, like it's on Saturday.

Washington hasn’t been the identical staff away from dwelling. In its two street video games towards UCLA and Arizona State, Washington is 0-2 and has allowed a complete of 85 factors in these losses. The Huskies had been additionally favorites in each of these video games.

This seems like a good time to purchase low on a staff that’s been cash as an underdog, particularly at dwelling the place Cal is an ideal 6-0 ATS underneath Wilcox when catching a landing or extra. Take the factors with the Golden Bears.

The decide: Cal +7.5.

Duke (+10) over MIAMI

Duke is coming off a troublesome loss to in-state rival North Carolina the place the Blue Devils allowed a landing within the last seconds. Whereas that’s all the time regarding, the market continues to be overvaluing a Miami staff that’s been common at greatest this season.

The Hurricanes stopped a three-game slide with a 20-14 win over an terrible Virginia Tech squad. Nevertheless, the victory was removed from spectacular. Miami’s offense managed simply 20 factors towards one of many worst defenses in faculty soccer and the sloppy play continued with a ridiculous 17 penalties.

Duke has been far more aggressive than most individuals thought in head coach Mike Elko’s first season however the betting market nonetheless isn’t exhibiting the Blue Devils a lot respect. The street staff has lined 4 of the final 5 on this sequence. I like that development to proceed.

PENN STATE (-5.5) over Minnesota

I had Penn State final week however the Nittany Lions obtained steamrolled in Michigan, permitting 418 speeding yards. The Wolverines’ dominant efficiency is much more spectacular when you think about Penn State entered the sport with a top-five rush protection.

Betting on Faculty Soccer?

The Nittany Lions regarded so dangerous final Saturday, I believe it’s creating some worth with them this week at dwelling towards reeling Minnesota. The large story right here is Golden Gophers beginning quarterback Tanner Morgan is unlikely to play with a head harm. We noticed the quantity begin to climb again up in the direction of Penn State on Friday after early cash got here in on Minnesota. If Morgan is out, the Gophers will possible flip to redshirt freshman Athan Kaliakmanis.

Penn State is already one of many hardest locations to play in faculty soccer and it will likely be a White Out on Saturday night time. With an inexperienced quarterback underneath middle, I’ll fade a Minnesota staff that is available in on a two-game shedding streak.

Final week: 1-3. LSU (W), Utah (L), Texas (L), Penn State (L).
Season: 11-11-1
