Scott Morris | December 5, 2013
If you are into sports betting and college football then you are aware that the point spreads vary each week and each week there will be some teams that will be good to cover the spread while other teams you should think twice about putting money on. Who you bet on or don’t bet on is no sweat to the sportsbook as they will make their money win or lose, but savvy sports fans do their research in order to place bets on the most profitable point spreads.

The last few games
We are staring down the barrel at week 15 of college football and after the upset at the Iron Bowl last week it’s a brave new world. There is now a new number 1 team and one person died as a result of it. Yes, Alabama takes their football seriously and someone was shot and killed after a fight broke out at a bar near Jordan Hare Stadium after Saturday’s game.
This week the college football action starts with Louisville (19) at Cincinnati on Thursday.
Friday will give us Bowling Green vs. Northern Illinois (14).
Saturday we have more to choose from with Oklahoma (17) at Oklahoma State (6), UCF (16) at Southern Methodist, Marshall at Rice, Memphis at Connecticut, Texas (25) at Baylor (9), Missouri (5) vs. Auburn (3), South Florida at Rutgers, Stanford (7) at Arizona State (11), Duke (20) vs. Florida State (1), Louisiana – Lafayette at South Alabama, Ohio State (2) vs. Michigan State (10) and Utah State at Fresno State (23).
The games that say vs. are to be played in a neutral location. As a bettor it’s important to remember that the location of games often affects how each team will play and that should be taken into account when you are figuring out which games to bet on and who will or will not cover the point spread. While you may think that the higher ranked team will win, that doesn’t always happen (look at the Iron Bowl).
There are many things to take into account to decide which teams will cover the point spread. Do your research and you will be able to get a handle on the evolving college football landscape, making your weekly bets in an informed, rational way.
