College football national championship odds got whittled down significantly Sunday, when the final College Football Playoff ranks came out. The field is down to four teams with hopes of hoisting the trophy on Jan. 10 at Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium. Alabama was the preseason favorite to win a second straight national title at TwinSpires Sportsbook, […]
College football Week 14 odds are dedicated almost exclusively to conference championship games. As such, there are obvious College Football Playoff ramifications. The biggest and best of those showdowns: Georgia vs. Alabama in the SEC, and Iowa vs. Michigan in the Big Ten. TwinSpires Sportsbook trading analyst Zachary Lucas provided insights on opening/current lines and […]
This week marks the first time in 92 games that Alabama will take the field as an underdog, as the Crimson Tide are a 6.5-point pup versus No. 1 Georgia in the SEC championship. The last time Nick Saban’s squad was getting points? Oct. 3, 2015, against … yep, Georgia. Alabama was a 1.5-point road […]
Michigan earned its way into Saturday’s Big Ten championship game with a surprisingly dominant victory over rival Ohio State last weekend. On the other hand, Iowa barely held on to win the weak West Division despite an anemic offense that struggled for much of the season. That lackluster Hawkeyes offense is the main reason why […]
With college football’s coaching carousel spinning at tornado-like speeds this week, you’ve probably asked yourself, “Geez — can’t anyone in this sport honor a commitment?” The answer: Yes — we here at Props.com can. Unlike Lincoln Riley at Oklahoma and Brian Kelly at Notre Dame, we’re finishing the job we started back in early September, […]
Our top play last week, Sean Clifford, sailed over his passing yardage prop. We ended up with another solid 4-2 set in those selected PrizePicks college football props. Things are looking up with a 29-18 record over the past seven weeks. Somewhere around 62% is not too shabby. Let’s zoom out a little bit and […]
Oklahoma State needs this game to try and sneak its way into the College Football Playoff. However, Baylor is no slouch, and the 5.5-point spread is an awkward number that the Bears can cover. After all, this is a neutral site game at Jerry’s World in Arlington, Texas. Should you take Baylor plus the points, […]
Bryce Young endured a wild Heisman Trophy roller-coaster ride in Week 13. In the span of eight hours, the Crimson Tide’s sophomore quarterback went from a solid second choice (just behind Ohio State QB C.J. Stroud) to presumptive front-runner (after Stroud and Ohio State lost at Michigan) to probable long shot (after he struggled mightily […]
Our top play last week, C.J. Stroud, sailed over his passing touchdown prop. Spoiler alert: I like him over 2.5 passing touchdowns again on Saturday. Last time around we ended up 4-2 overall on our PrizePicks college football props. Things are looking up with a 25-16 record over the past seven weeks. That’s a cool […]
College football Week 13 odds are dotted with big rivalry games. And by the time things shake out Saturday night in those matchups, the College Football Playoff picture could have much clearer focus. Ohio State might take the next step toward asserting itself in the Big Ten. Or that conference might continue cannibalizing itself, should […]
Consistency. Next to “winning,” it’s the most important word in the lexicon of sports bettors. And those bettors aren’t picky when it comes to the nature of that consistency. Consistently good, consistently bad — either is fine. Those teams whose performances bounce up and down like a 6-year-old on a trampoline after a candy binge? […]
The 4.0 version of the 2021 College Football Playoff rankings have been released, and per usual, the playoff committee’s rankings don’t exactly align with the perceptions of oddsmakers (let alone those voting in the Associated Press Top 25 poll). With two weeks before Selection Sunday (Dec. 5), three of the four playoff berths remain up […]
