Top College Football Teams Against the Spread 2019
Scott Morris | September 25, 2019
The regular season is 1/3 of the way complete and sports bettors and handicappers are getting some handle on which teams are god at covering the spread.
A teams trend to cover the spread gets tougher every week as Vegas/Offshore sportsbooks attempts to adjust the spreads to make games these teams are playing more difficult to handicap.
The bottom line is that many sports bettors/handicappers play their picks week by week and do not ride a single team all season. But if a team has the propensity to cover the spread, bettors and handicappers will take note.
On the list we compiled below, there are a few surprising teams covering every week. I must admit I did not see Oklahoma State being as good as they are at covering.
Southern Methodist anyone? The Mustangs are 4-0 straight up and against the spread in 2019 as of today. SMU is off to their first 4-0 start since 1984 after beating TCU. Will the Mustangs creep into the top 25? Time will tell.
