Everyone at a sports site will do the college football best bets week 9. The difference between this blog and those losers is, I actually gamble. I actually gamble and I actually put my bets in front of the people. I have the damn receipts each week to show y’all who I picked and why I picked them.
Now, look, I know the video is epic and I am entertaining as hell. I am not going to write this college football best bets blog and break down every game I pick. I will, however, give you a few of my very favorite plays and go into depth of why I like them so much.
College Football’s Best Bets: Favorites
Oklahoma -1.5 @ Iowa State
I honestly have no idea why this line is set this low. In most situations here I would hammer Iowa State, as that is what a good gambler would do. That is how the line reads. I just don’t buy it at all. Venables gave his team the, “if you don’t want to be here” speech a few weeks ago and they responded by taking care of Kansas. Iowa State does have a decent defense, but can not score on offense. Look at their season so far. I really think Gabriel balls out all over the Cyclones, and this looks like a traditional Oklahoma versus Iowa State score 45-13.
Arkansas -3.5 @ Auburn
It is no secret my thoughts on the Arkansas Razorbacks. I lay it out pretty clear on my twitter and the Spiked College Football Show. But this might be the easiest college football best bet of the year! Auburn is looking for reasons to fire Harsin. Yes, they have played decent at home, but Arkansas and KJ Jefferson need this win to help their bowl chances and keep their own coach off the hot seat. I LOVE the Razorbacks to destroy the Tigers. Hammer it down.
College Football’s Best Bets: Underdogs
Notre Dame +2.5 ML +110 @ Syracuse
This is one of those games where you look at the line and scratch your head. Notre Dame has had an up and down season, mostly down; especially on offense. Syracuse is the number 16 in the polls after a tough loss to Clemson last week; a game they should have won. This game is such a let down spot for Syracuse, with another good ACC team in Pitt next week. This is my favorite underdog college football best bet for week 9. The Irish and Coach Freeman are desperate for a top 25 win to appease the fan base and the Orange are perfect for that.
College football best bets all come down to a feeling for me. If you watched the youtube videos. you will see I have a rather large card of games I am betting this week. But these three are my guaranteed winners for y’all. Of course I want West Virginia to hit on the money line play because the pay out would be big, but that would be disingenuous to call it a college football best bet.
That is a bet that I make because if everything goes right and TCU screws up a bit, the Mountaineers are good enough to pull the upset. You don’t have to take all my bets, but I am over 60% on the year and you should at least play these three.
