My apologies for the delay to the best bets as life has gotten in the way. But we look to keep the momentum from last week as we had our first really good week of the season. I wish we could have more of these weeks earlier, but, hey, there is still time left in the season.
Last week’s record: 6-3, +2.70 units
Season record: 37-39-3, -5.94 units, -6.9% ROI
I have a decent-sized card this week and apparently an obsession with totals priced around 61 points. There might be a play or two added, but definitely not a given as the board stands right now. As always, shop around for the best price and good luck to us!
Also, please note. I have a bet on Penn State +3.5 (-102) against Ohio State from the preseason. Obviously a good price as the market stands on that game right now. The spread is the same, but Penn State +3.5 is -115. As for what to do with that game, it’s likely a stay away from me. Both teams are banged up, but the uncertainty around Drew Allar would probably keep me off of this play right now. I do think Allar plays, but not sure what his health will look like. If he was fully healthy, I’d make this game a pick ’em.

Best bets for college football Week 10
Liberty -2.5 (-108) vs. Jacksonville State
This is simple. Liberty is coming off a stunning loss to Kennesaw State and I think this line has been over-adjusted due to that result. I think this should be priced closer to a touchdown than to a field goal. Hopefully Liberty doesn’t let one bad loss become two.
- Worst price to bet: Liberty -3 (-115)
Georgia State +7.5 (-110) at Connecticut
I like what UConn has shown this year, but, man, I’m not in love with them laying more than a touchdown against many teams. Georgia State has made a change at quarterback the last few weeks and I think they’re a bit undervalued as it stands right now.
- Worst price to bet: Georgia State +7 (-110)
Oklahoma State +3 (-110) vs. Arizona State
Purely a number’s play here. There isn’t a matchup that I particularly love and Oklahoma State has had a disappointing season. But my numbers make this close to a coin flip so I’ll gladly take the field goal here. I would not play this if you’re not able to get a +3.
- Worst price to bet: Oklahoma State +3 (-115)
