Complete List of Week 5 College Football Lines Can Be Found Below

Week 5 of the 2010 college football campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 5 NCAA football lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 5 college football lines. Be sure to check out the free NCAA football picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend!

Many at the outset of the year thought that this was going to be the biggest week of college football betting action in quite some time. It will inevitably be known as “Separation Saturday” for a number of teams, as the top schools in the land seemingly all collide in what should be a real spectacle for NCAA football betting fans to feast their eyes and their wagers into.

The highlight game, of course, is going to be the duel at Bryant Denny Stadium between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Florida Gators. These two teams have split their last two encounters, both of which have been in the SEC Championship Game. The winner has moved on to the National Championship Game and won that encounter as well. This year, the meeting is just as crucial even though it won’t be as decisive as the SEC Championship. This could very well be the first of two meetings of these teams. Will HC Urban Meyer’s defense be able to stand up to the potent offense of the Crimson Tide? Can QB John Brantley go into one of the most hallowed stadiums in college football and come out with a victory? If he does, it will come as a huge upset, as the Gators are hefty nine point underdogs.

The ‘undercard’ game of sorts will be played at the Cotton Bowl this year, as the Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns will meet up. This duel sort of lost a bit of its luster last week when the Longhorns were crushed at home by the UCLA Bruins in a stunning 34-12 upset, but as we all well know, this is a game in which you can throw out the record books. These two teams just hate each other, and the winner of it seemingly always goes on to represent the Big XII South in the Big XII Championship Game. Just has been the case with the Alabama/Florida winner over the L/2 seasons, the winner of this game has played in back to back National Championships, but has been defeated by the SEC champs in both cases. The Sooners are only 3.5 point favorites in spite of the fact that they are now clearly the higher ranked team.

The big rivalry game between the Boston College Eagles and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish is also this weekend. These two teams hate each other about as much as two teams possibly can, and though this game doesn’t mean as much as it once did, don’t tell that to the teams involved. The Irish are 2.5 point road favorites, but inevitably, this game is going to come down to the very end regardless.

One of the biggest road favorites of the weekend are the TCU Horned Frogs, who are expected to easily roll over the Colorado State Rams. They are 33 point chalks even though they are on the road. The Horned Frogs are one of six favorites this week of at least 20 points. The biggest favorites, to no surprise though, are the Boise State Broncos. After rolling past the Oregon State Beavers last week, the Broncos are stunning 41.5 point favorites against the New Mexico State Aggies in Las Cruces.

Week 4 college football betting is here! Bankroll Sports is back with more NCAA football picks for Week 4 of the year, but before we do that, we need to take a look at the important trends and history that the teams that are facing against each other this week.

Thursday, September 23rd: Miami Hurricanes @ Pittsburgh Panthers
NCAA Football Trends of Note
-The Canes are 3-13 ATS in their L/16 off of a bye week
-U-Pitt is 12-6 ATS in its L/16 games on grass
-The Panthers are 7-3 ATS in their L/10 at home

Series History
The Canes have won every meeting of these teams dating back to 1998, but this is the first time the squads have met outside of Big East play. Miami won 28-14 the last time it travel to Pitt, but the time before, it was a 27.5 point favorite. My, how times have changed now that the Canes are just short four point choices of the oddsmakers in a game that many think could go either way.

Friday, September 24th: TCU Horned Frogs @ SMU Mustangs
NCAA Football Trends of Note
-The Horned Frogs are 4-10 ATS in their L/14 against C-USA
-TCU is 5-1 ATS in its L/6 on the road
-SMU is 18-7-1 ATS in its L/26 against teams with a winning record

Series History
These two teams have met in each of the L/3 seasons, and though it looks like it would be a runaway for the 3-0 Horned Frogs, who have won the three games by an aggregate score of 108-28, that just isn’t the case. SMU holds a 2-1 ATS edge and is 5-2 ATS over the L/7 meetings against one of the mid-major powers of the country.

Saturday, September 25th: Virginia Tech Hokies @ Boston College Eagles
NCAA Football Trends of Note
-The Hokies are 6-2 ATS in their L/8 overall
-V-Tech is 22-9 ATS in its L/31 roadies
-BC is just 2-14 ATS in its L/16 against teams with a losing record, including an 0-2 mark this year

Series History
These two former Big East teams have met five times over the L/3 years, including twice in the ACC Championship Game. V-Tech is 3-2 SU and ATS. The favorite has won and covered four straight, and no road team has won in this series since 2003, save for BC winning in Blacksburg is 2007. The last time the Hokies won on Chestnut Hill came in 2002 as an 8.5 point favorite.

Saturday, September 25th: NC State Wolfpack @ Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
NCAA Football Trends of Note
-NC State is 5-0-1 ATS in its L/6 played in September
-The Wolfpack are 11-5 ATS in their L/16 in the ACC
-G-Tech is 7-1 ATS in its L/8 played in conference

Series History
Surprisingly, it has been the road team that has dominated this series of late, winning three straight and four out of five. The Ramblin’ Wreck are 5-1 SU in their L/6 against NC State and 4-1 ATS in their L/5 in this series as well. This is the first meeting of these ACC foes since 2006.

Saturday, September 25th: Stanford Cardinal @ Notre Dame Fighting Irish
NCAA Football Trends of Note
-The Cardinal are just 2-9 ATS in their L/11 against independent teams
-Notre Dame is 0-5 ATS in its L/5 following an ATS win
-The Irish are only 17-35 ATS in their L/52 under the watchful eyes of Touchdown Jesus

Series History
These annual rivals really hate each other, and for good reason. Stanford beat Notre Dame for the first time since 2002 last year, but the Irish are still dominating the NCAA football odds in this series. They have covered three straight and seven out of nine dating back to last the 2001 campaign.

Saturday, September 25th: Temple Owls @ Penn State Nittany Lions
NCAA Football Trends of Note
-The Owls are 11-5 ATS in their L/16 overall
-Penn State is 7-3 ATS in its L/10 against the MAC, including one cover already this season
-The Nittany Lions are 6-2 ATS in their L/8 against Temple

Series History
Needless to say, this is Temple’s best chance to win a game in this series a quite some time. These teams have met quite a bit since 1992, ten times to be exact, and this is the first time the Owls haven’t been dogs by at least 25 points. PSU didn’t cover last year in a 31-6 victory, but it hasn’t won a game by less than that 25 point margin in this series since 2003. Over the L/4 meetings, the Owls have scored a grand total of nine points and haven’t found the end zone more than once in a game against the Nittany Lions since 1995. They lost that game 66-14.

Saturday, September 25th: Alabama Crimson Tide @ Arkansas Razorbacks
NCAA Football Trends of Note
-The Tide are 9-2 ATS in their L/11 road games
-Arkansas is 6-2 ATS against teams with a winning record
-The Hogs are just 1-3 ATS in the L/4 meetings with Alabama

Series History
These two teams hate each other, as they meet every single September in the first month of SEC action. Arkansas hasn’t beaten Alabama since 2006, but the Tide have real reasons to be worried. They won in Fayetteville 49-14 in 2008, but before that, they had won here since 2002. Bama rolled to a 35-7 win last year in Tuscaloosa.

Saturday, September 25th: Wake Forest Demon Deacons @ Florida State Seminoles
NCAA Football Trends of Note
-The Deacs are 2-7 ATS in their L/9 road games
-Wake Forest is 8-3 ATS in its L/11 against teams with a winning record
-FSU is 2-6 ATS in its L/8 conference games

Series History
You think these two teams don’t like each other much? FSU certainly remembers that Wake Forest has won its last two trips to Tallahassee in a big way, winning 12-3 in ’08 and 30-0 in ’06. The Noles got a level of revenge last year, winning 41-28 on Tobacco Road, but for the dominant side in the ACC< that was their first win in this series dating back to 2005. The underdog has now covered six straight and has won four in a row outright.Saturday, September 25th: Kentucky Wildcats @ Florida Gators
NCAA Football Trends of Note
-The Gators are 22-6 ATS in their L/28 against teams with a winning record
-UF is 18-7 ATS in its L/25 overall
-The Wildcats are 0-3 ATS since 2007 in this series, but covered five straight before that

Series History
Don’t expect the Wildcats to be able to win this one, though. The Cats have been dominated in this series SU, as they haven’t beaten Florida in seemingly forever. UF has opened up a real can on UK over the L/2 seasons, winning be the aggregate score of 104-12.

Saturday, September 25th: South Carolina Gamecocks @ Auburn Tigers
NCAA Football Trends of Note
-The Gamecocks are 1-4 ATS in their L/5 on the road against teams with a winning home record
-Auburn is 4-10 ATS in its L/14 following an ATS defeat
-The Tigers are 1-4 ATS in their L/5 at Jordan Hare Stadium

Series History
The SEC undercard battle this week is a goodie even though these two teams have only met four times in their history. The Tigers are a perfect 4-0 SU and have now been favored in all five games since 1996. South Carolina has leveled the ATS proceeding at two games apiece with each team going 1-1 ATS at home and on the road.

Saturday, September 25th: Oregon State Beavers @ Boise State Broncos
NCAA Football Trends of Note
-The Beavers are 10-1 ATS in their L/11 road games
-OSU is 8-3 ATS in its L/11 overall
-Boise State is 44-20-2 ATS in its L/66 on the Smurf Turf

Series History
The home team has won five of the six meetings of these teams both SU and ATS. However, there have only been four clashes of these rivals since the Broncos really hit the mainstream, and the hosts won all four games. Boise State holds a 3-0-1 ATS edge though in the L/4.

Saturday, September 25th: West Virginia Mountaineers @ LSU Tigers
NCAA Football Trends of Note
-The Mountaineers have covered four straight against teams with a winning record
-WVU is 1-5 ATS in its L/6 games played on grass
-The Tigers are 4-11 ATS in their L/15 at Tiger Stadium

Series History
First meeting

Saturday, September 25th: California Golden Bears @ Arizona Wildcats
NCAA Football Trends of Note
-Cal is 6-14 ATS in its L/20 road games
-The Golden Bears are 7-2 ATS in their L/9 played on grass
-Arizona is 7-2 ATS in its L/9 played on grass

Series History
The home team has won five straight both SU and ATS in this series, with the most recent road victory coming by Cal in 2004 to the tune of 38-0 (however, it was a 23 point favorite that day). The Cats clawed as hard as they could last year, but they came up on the short end of a 24-16 decision as a 2.5 point pup.

Saturday, September 25th: Oregon Ducks @ Arizona State Sun Devils
NCAA Football Trends of Note
-The Ducks are 8-2 ATS in their L/10 overall
-Oregon is 8-3 ATS in its L/11 conference games
-The Ducks are 5-0 ATS over the L/5 years in this series

Series History
Needless to say, it has been all one way traffic for the Quack Attack. Oregon has dropped at least 35 points on ASU in five straight years, winning all five games outright as well as ATS. The last time ASU won a game at home in this series was in 2003 when it came away with a 59-14 whooping of the U of O.

NCAA Football Picks: Texas Longhorns @ Texas Tech Red Raiders Props

Two years ago when the Texas Longhorns last rode into Lubbock, the Texas Tech Red Raiders pulled off a great upset to put themselves into the BCS National Championship picture. Neither team was able to reach the illustrious title game, but this one was one of the best duels that college football betting fans have ever seen. Take a look at our college football picks for Saturday night’s props in the duel of these Lone Star State rivals!

Foswhitt Whittaker Over/Under 9.5 Rushing Attempts
This is a tough prop to gauge, but we tend to believe that we know what the answer is. Only HC Mack Brown really knows whether or not the fact that he is starting Whittaker in the backfield on Saturday night means that he is going to take extra carries. The Horns are determined to throw the football with QB Garrett Gilbert, but at some point, Brown and his staff might realize that giving Whittaker the rock isn’t a bad idea. And why not? The man has averaged 7.1 yards per carry this season and has the ability to bust huge holes in this Texas Tech defense. Our NCAA football prop picks suggest that Whittaker will go Over 9.5 carries (-115 at Hollywood Sportsbook) on Saturday night.

Taylor Potts Over/Under 310.5 Passing Yards
We never like betting against any quarterback in the Air Raid assault, but this Texas defense that the Red Raiders are going against is as stout as could be. Last year, T-Tech did throw for 420 yards, but that required a whopping 46 completions and 62 attempts to get done. With HC Tommy Tuberville at least spending a little bit extra time trying to get RB Baron Batch involved in the offense, we tend to believe that Potts is going to spend some more time worrying about handing the ball off and a little less time trying to figure out how to sling it all over the field. Especially if this game remains remotely close for a long period of time, we tend to think that the Horns are going to keep Potts Under 310.5 passing yards (-115 at Hollywood Sportsbook).

Lyle Leong Over/Under 82.5 Receiving Yards
Consider this Texas @ Texas Tech props pick a bit of a hedge against Potts’ passing and a possibility of cashing in twice. Leong is clearly the top target in this Texas Tech offense this year, as he already has 16 receptions and five scores on the year. Potts will be looking to force Leong the ball quite a bit, and it doesn’t seem to matter who is guarding him. He’ll get the football enough times to make it worthwhile. Last week’s five catches and 75 yards seemed to be more of a result of the fact that the Red Raiders were able to do whatever they wanted against the New Mexico Lobos. Leong caught six passes for 80 yards last year in this game, and we think he’ll do even better this year. Go with Leong Over 82.5 receiving yards (-115 at Hollywood Sportsbook).

Complete List of Week 3 College Football Lines Can Be Found Below

Week 3 of the 2010 college football campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 3 college football lines and spreads along with a complete breakdown of the Week three ncaa football spreads. Be sure to check out the free NCAA football picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend!

The week 3 schedul will kick off with a respectable duel between the Big East’s Cincinnati Bearcats and the NC State Wolfpack from the ACC. Both of these teams are searching for some respect in their own conferences, and neither team has gotten much support quite yet from their fellow conference mates. Keep a close eye on the young quarterbacks in this game, as NCSU’s Russell Wilson and Cincy’s Zach Collaros could both be future NFL superstars. The current week 3 lines at BetUS have NC State listed as a 2 point favorite.

On Friday, the Nevada Wolfpack are going to try to make a name for themselves. Though the Boise State Broncos and TCU Horned Frogs are stealing the thunder for the mid-majors, this is a Nevada team that is flying under the radar and could be every bit as good as both the Top 10 ranked mid-majors in the country. The Wolfpack are three point underdogs against the California Golden Bears, but they might never be lined like this by the oddsmakers again if they can get off the ground with a big upset on national television.

The best teams in the land are definitely taking a step back from their huge wins in Week 2 of the NCAA football betting campaign. The Alabama Crimson Tide, Ohio State Buckeyes, Boise State Broncos, TCU Horned Frogs, and Oregon Ducks are all at least three TD favorites in what should be cakewalk games. However, life won’t be so easy for all of the ranked teams this week.

The Arkansas Razorbacks have made it all the way up to No. 12 in the nation in the USA Today poll, but that doesn’t mean that they are expected to stay that way. QB Ryan Mallett and the Hogs open up college football betting action on Saturday afternoon as 2.5 point underdogs to the Georgia Bulldogs “Between the Hedges.” Last week, UGA lost in this very same situation as the ranked road team that was a dog to an unranked home team, and it will look to repay the favor as ACC play continues this week.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers, ranked No. 8 in the AP Poll might be in for a dog fight as well. The Washington Huskies have a history of winning big games in Husky Stadium, and QB Jake Locker will try to see to it that that happens once again to a largely untested Big Red team on Saturday. The Huskies are getting a ton of respect though, as they are only 3.5 point underdogs against one of the best teams in the entire country.

The same can be true for the Texas Tech Red Raiders, who are going to be welcoming the Texas Longhorns back to Lubbock for the first time since the epic 39-33 game two years ago in which WR Michael Crabtree made that insane catch and run for the game winning touchdown. The Horns are ranked fifth in the land and could be in for a long, long day against these unranked Red Raiders, who are just 3.5 point dogs.

The game of the week to watch though, is the duel in the desert between the Arizona Wildcats and the Iowa Hawkeyes. These two teams played a tight one last year at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa, but the scene shifts to Arizona now, where HC Mike Stoops is going to be looking for arguably the biggest win in his head coaching career. We know that the Cats can claw with some iffy teams, but the oddsmakers aren’t showing them a lot of respect in this one as 1.5 point pups to QB Ricky Stanzi and the Hawkeyes.

The third week of the college football season right around the corner! The Bankroll Sports handicapping experts will have their key releases ready for you this weekend. We will also have key props and other free picks on the blog. But first, we we will have you take a look at the important college football trends and team history for the upcoming week 3 ncaa football matchups. Take a look at some of the big matchups and the series history and other important NCAA football trends for each of these games. 

Thursday, September 16th: Cincinnati Bearcats @ North Carolina State Wolfpack
NCAA Football Trends of Note
-The Bearcats are 6-2 ATS in their L/8 Thursday Night Football appearances
-Cincinnati has failed to cover seven straight overall
-NC State is 9-3-1 ATS in its L/13 at home

Series History
First meeting

Friday, September 17th: Kansas Jayhawks @ Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles
NCAA Football Trends of Note
-The Jayhawks are just 2-9 ATS in their L/11 overall
-Kansas is only 2-6 ATS in its L/8 against C-USA foes
-Southern Miss is 4-1 ATS in its L/5 following an SU win

Series History
These two teams met for the first time last season in Lawrence, and my, was it a heck of a fight! Southern Miss ended up losing 35-28, but it had no trouble pushing KU to the limit and deservedly earned a cover against an 11.5 point spread.

Friday, September 17th: California Golden Bears @ Nevada Wolfpack
NCAA Football Trends of Note
-Cal is 6-13 ATS in its L/19 road games
-The Wolfpack are 26-12 ATS in their L/38 home games
-The Golden Bears are 6-1 ATS in their L/7 played in September

Series History
The Golden Bears have only played Nevada once before, cashing in on a 33-15 victory in Berkeley. That game was way back in 1996 though, so there isn’t much in the way of a history of note.

Saturday, September 18th: Maryland Terrapins @ West Virginia Mountaineers
NCAA Football Trends of Note
-Maryland is 2-5-1 ATS in its L/8 road games
-West Virginia is only 5-12 ATS in its L/17 overall
-The Mountaineers are only 3-12 ATS in their L/15 against the ACC

Series History
These two teams met every season for quite awhile, but they haven’t clashed on the gridiron since 2007. The Mountaineers have covered three straight in this series and have won four straight SU. The favorite is 9-4 ATS in the L/13 meetings of these two close rivals. The winning team has scored at least 31 points in nine of the L/10.

Saturday, September 18th: Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets @ North Carolina Tar Heels
NCAA Football Trends of Note
-G-Tech has covered six of its L/7 games played in the ACC
-The Yellow Jackets are 18-8-1 ATS in their L/27 following an ATS defeat
-North Carolina is 5-2-1 ATS in its L/8 following a bye week

Series History
North Carolina had covered every spread in this series from 2004 to 2008, but it had only won two of those five games. The Jackets came up with a huge 24-7 win last year which helped propel them to the ACC Coastal championship. The home team has won six of the L/7 SU.

Saturday, September 18th: Arkansas Razorbacks @ Georgia Bulldogs
NCAA Football Trends of Note
-The Hogs are 6-1 ATS in their L/7 following an ATS win
-Georgia is 4-10 ATS in its L/10 home games
-Underdogs that were ranked last week went 0-4 SU and ATS

Series History
Georgia hasn’t been beaten in this series since 1993, but the Bulldogs are only 4-2 ATS in those six games. The last time these two squads met “Between the Hedges” was back in 2005, when Arkansas nearly pulled off the outright upset as 17.5 point underdogs, losing 23-20.

Saturday, September 18th: Florida Gators @ Tennessee Volunteers
Trends of Note
-The Gators are 11-3 ATS in their L/14 road games
-Tennessee is 6-2 ATS in its L/8 games on grass
-The Vols are 7-3 ATS in their L/10 SEC duels

Series History
The Gators are back to their old ways of dominating this series, just as they did for seemingly the entire 1990s. They have won five straight overall in this series, but the Vols did a great job last year of sticking in front of the 30 point spread in a 23-13 defeat in the Swamp. The Volunteers were smoked here 30-6 two years ago.

Saturday, September 18th: Nebraska Cornhuskers @ Washington Huskies
College Football Trends of Note
-The Huskers are 6-1-1 ATS in their L/8 outside of the Big XII
-Washington is 5-1 ATS in its L/6 home game
-The Huskies are 4-1-1 ATS in their L/6 against the Big 12

Series History
These two teams played home and home series in both 1991-92 and 1997-98. Both teams have ultimately won one game at home and one on the road in this series, but the favorite is 3-1 ATS in the four encounters.

Saturday, September 18th: Air Force Falcons @ Oklahoma Sooners
College Football Trends of Note
-Air Force is 6-2 ATS in its L/8 games overall
-The Sooners are 12-3-1 ATS in their L/16 played in September
-OU is 0-4 ATS in its L/4 following an ATS win

Series History
Air Force has already felt the wrath of the Sooners once before in life, getting stomped 44-3 in Colorado Springs. That was the first and only meeting to date between these two schools.

Saturday, September 18th: Alabama Crimson Tide @ Duke Blue Devils
College Football Trends of Note
-Alabama is 8-2 ATS in its L/10 road games
-The Crimson Tide are 13-5 ATS in their L/18 played on grass
-Duke is just 16-34-1 ATS in its L/51 home games

Series History
Alabama knocked off the Dookies 30-14 in 2006 in Tuscaloosa, but the guests had no problem covering the 26.5 point spread. This will be just the second meeting of these two squads.

Saturday, September 18th: USC Trojans @ Minnesota Golden Gophers
College Football Trends of Note
-USC is 9-1 ATS in its L/10 vs. the Big Ten
-The Trojans are just 2-8 in their L/10 overall
-Minnesota is 3-7 ATS in its L/10 against teams with a winning record

Series History
First meeting

Saturday, September 18th: BYU Cougars @ Florida State Seminoles
College Football Trends of Note
-The Cougs are 8-2 ATS in their L/10 following an SU loss
-Florida State is 6-1-1 ATS in its L/8 after scoring 20 points or less in a game
-The Noles are 1-6 ATS in their L/7 games at Doak Campbell Stadium

Series History
Last year, the Seminoles marched into Provo and beat the snot out of the Cougars 54-28 in a big upset. FSU has won all three lifetime meetings between these two schools, including a 29-3 win at a neutral site in 2000 and proved victorious in a 44-28 triumph in 1991. The Noles are 2-1 ATS in the three clashes.

Saturday, September 18th: Clemson Tigers @ Auburn Tigers
College Football Trends of Note
-The Tigers are 4-1 ATS in their L/5 games following a win by at least 20 points
-Clemson is just 2-6 ATS in its L/8 against the SEC
-Auburn is 1-5-1 ATS in its L/7 against the ACC

Series History
These two teams met in the Peach Bowl in 2007, with Auburn trumping Clemson in this Tiger battle 23-20 in overtime. Auburn also beat Clemson in 1998 in a bowl game as well. This is the first regular season meeting of these two teams.

Saturday, September 18th: Boise State Broncos @ Wyoming Cowboys
College Football Trends of Note
-The Broncos are 9-4 ATS in their L/13 against the MWC
-Wyoming is 4-12-1 ATS in its L/17 home games
-The Cowboys are 9-3 ATS in their L/12 overall

Series History
Boise has taken on the Cowboys four times since 2002 with great success in terms of SU wins. The Broncos are 4-0. However, the Smurf Turf boys are only 1-3 ATS against Wyoming, going winless ATS since the 2002 meeting.

Saturday, September 18th: Texas Longhorns @ Texas Tech Red Raiders
College Football Trends of Note
-The Longhorns are 0-4 ATS in their L/4 following an SU win
-Texas is 0-5 ATS in its L/5 against teams with a winning record

Saturday, September 18th: Notre Dame Fighting Irish @ Michigan State Spartans
College Football Trends of Note
-Notre Dame is 3-10 ATS in its L/13 overall
-The Spartans are just 2-6-1 ATS in their L/9 overall
-The road team is 8-1 ATS in these two teams’ L/9 meetings

Series History
We’ve already mentioned how strong the road team has been in this rivalry. However, the Spartans have covered three straight in spite of the fact that a two game winning streak was stopped with last year’s 33-30 loss in South Bend.

Saturday, September 18th: Mississippi State Bulldogs @ LSU Tigers
College Football Trends of Note
-The Bulldogs are 9-4 ATS in their L/13 games in September
-The Tigers are 2-8 ATS in their L/10 following wins of at least 20 points
-LSU is 5-15-1 ATS in its L/21 games played in the Bayou

Series History
The Bulldogs have covered three of the L/4 in this series after nearly a decade of gold and purple dominance. Still, MSU hasn’t won a game in this rivalry in well over ten years, a trend which the Dawgs hope to reverse on Saturday.

Saturday, September 18th: Iowa Hawkeyes @ Arizona Wildcats
College Football Trends of Note
-Iowa is 13-3 ATS in its L/16 road games
-The Hawkeyes are 12-3 ATS in their L/15 against teams with a winning record
-Arizona is 6-2 ATS in its L/8 played on grass

Series History
Last year was the first meeting of these two teams since 1998. The Hawkeyes came away with a 27-17 victory at Kinnick Stadium. ‘Zona had covered the previous two spreads in the ’90s in this series.

Saturday, September 18th: Wake Forest Demon Deacons @ Stanford Cardinal
College Football Trends of Note
-Wake Forest is 2-6 ATS in its L/8 road games
-Stanford is 11-3 ATS in its L/14 home games
-The Cardinal is 4-1 ATS in its L/5 following an ATS win

Series History
We’ve already mentioned how strong the road team has been in this rivalry. However, the Spartans have covered three straight in spite of the fact that a two game winning streak was stopped with last year’s 33-30 loss in South Bend.

Complete List of Week 1 College Football Lines Can Be Found Below

Three huge games are going to be highlighting a tremendous weekend of college football betting action, and here at Bankroll Sports, we’ve got all of the odds and ends covered.

The Alabama Crimson Tide are going to most likely be without the services of RB Mark Ingram for this crucial tilt with the Penn State Nittany Lions. As a result, the Tide roll into this one as 12 point favorites, whereas they might have been significantly larger choices had they been a fully fit squad. Penn State’s new QB Robert Bolden is going to be the first freshman to ever face this type of a test under HC Joe Paterno. This could be a very interesting game with a huge payoff for the winner, especially if it is a PSU team that is in dire need of some respect if it hopes to be in the National Championship picture.

The Florida State Seminoles picked up a big victory to start the HC Jimbo Fisher era last week against Samford, but things can change this week in a hurry against the Oklahoma Sooners. OU is going to have to rebound quickly from a poor showing in a 31-24 win over the Utah State Aggies. QB Landry Jones could be in for a good game against an FSU secondary that was terrorized at times last year. Still, the garnet and gold are only 7.5 point underdogs and could be in a position to pull an upset of similar proportions this year as they did last season at BYU.

That FSU/Oklahoma game is one of the two battles this week that mark rematches of National Championship Games. The other is the duel between the Miami Hurricanes and the Ohio State Buckeyes, who squared off in the Fiesta Bowl in 2003 in an epic overtime tussle won by OSU. This year, the Bucks are going to be the decided 8.5 point favorites as opposed to the double digit dogs they were when all the marbles were on the line seven years ago. There are two major Heisman Trophy contenders in this game, as QB Jacory Harris for the Canes and QB Terrelle Pryor for the Buckeyes. These two are going to need big efforts to not only improve their team’s chances of sticking in the National Championship race, but to bolster their chances of going to New York as a Heisman Trophy finalist in December.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Michigan Wolverines are going to collide in a duel of epic historical proportions. Both of these teams got off to a good start this year by picking off reasonable opponents. Still, both are going to look for a tremendous effort against the other. Though first year head coach Brian Kelly at Notre Dame might not be on a hot seat, HC Rich Rodriguez still needs some more wins at Michigan to save his skin and potentially his coaching career. He’ll have QB Denard Robinson on his side after having a fantastic game last week against the Connecticut Huskies.

For the second straight week, the San Jose State Spartans are the biggest underdog on the board. They are 38.5 point underdogs at Camp Randall in the home opener for the Wisconsin Badgers.

The second week of the college football season is here! Bankroll Sports is back with more NCAA football picks for Week 2 of the year, but before we do that, we need to take a look at the important trends and history that the teams that are facing against each other this week.

Thursday, September 9th: Central Michigan Chippewas @ Temple Owls
Trends of Note
-Temple is 14-6-1 ATS in its L/21 home games
-The Owls are 10-4 ATS in their L/14 games overall
-Central Michigan has covered five straight spreads on Thursday games

Series History
The Chippies have won both of these previous meetings of these two MAC rivals, but in both cases, CMU was expected to be a significantly better choice. This is the best chance the Owls are going to have against the Chippewas and will be the first in which they are favored.

Thursday, September 9th: Auburn Tigers @ Mississippi State Bulldogs
Trends of Note
-The Tigers are just 1-8 ATS in their L/9 road games
-Auburn is 5-11 ATS in its L/16 games played in the SEC
-Mississippi State is winless in its L/5 appearances in college football betting affairs on Thursday nights

Series History
The Tigers are a stellar 6-2 ATS in their L/8 duels with the Bulldogs. Mississippi State is probably tired of getting kicked around though, especially since it has been outscored by an average of 22.8 points per game since 2002 in this series. Hopefully for the sake for NCAA football betting fans, this game is a lot prettier than the last time these teams met in Starkville two years ago… a 3-2 win for Auburn.

Friday, September 10th: West Virginia Mountaineers @ Marshall Thundering Herd
Trends of Note
-The Mountaineers have covered 11 straight road games against teams with losing home records
-WVU is winless in its L/4 games played outside of the Big East
-The Thundering Herd are 10-1-1 ATS in their L/12 home games against teams with a winning road record

Series History
These teams have met five times since 1997, including four clashes in the L/4 seasons. The Mountaineers have yet to lose to Marshall and have won by double digits in all five games. Still, the Herd have conquered the college football odds and are 3-2 ATS in the five duels. This is only the second meeting in Huntington. Marshall narrowly covered the 25.5 point spread in a 48-23 loss in 2007.

Friday, September 10th: UTEP Miners @ Houston Cougars
Trends of Note
-The Miners have covered four straight games against teams with a winning record
-Houston is 9-3 ATS in its L/12 home games, but only 2-5 ATS in its L/7 overall
-The Cougs are 4-1 ATS in their L/5 games following a win of at least 20 points

Series History
This is one that Houston has had circled for quite some time. Last year, the Miners upset Houston 58-41 as 14.5 point underdogs. It marked the third straight cover in this series for UTEP. The dog is 4-1 ATS over the five meetings that these teams have shared since they started together in Conference USA.

Saturday, September 11th: San Jose State Spartans @ Wisconsin Badgers
Trends of Note
-The Spartans have been an awful 0-9 ATS in their L/9 road games
-San Jose State is only 5-17 ATS in its L/22 games overall
-The Badgers have won five straight home games against teams with losing road records

Series History
These teams have only met once on the gridiron before, and surprisingly enough, the Spartans were the hosts in the duel in 1997. Wisconsin was a 16.5 point college football pick of the oddsmakers and ended up blowing out SJSU 56-10.

Saturday, September 11th: Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets @ Kansas Jayhawks
Trends of Note
-The Jackets are a rock solid 22-8-1 ATS in their L/31 road games
-Georgia Tech is 18-7-1 ATS in its L/26 games following an ATS defeat
-The Jayhawks are just 1-5 ATS in their L/6 games following an SU defeat

Series History
First meeting

Saturday, September 11th: Georgia Bulldogs @ South Carolina Gamecocks
Trends of Note
-The Bulldogs have covered the spread in four of their L/5 games overall
-South Carolina is 5-0 ATS over the L/2 years in the month of September
-The Gamecocks are 0-4 ATS in their L/4 games after allowing a team to 20 points the week before

Series History
Underdogs and road teams are en vogue in this series. The pups are 4-1-1 ATS over the L/6 meetings between these SEC East foes, while roadies are 4-0-1 ATS in the L/5. Georgia won 41-37 last year Between the Hedges, but still hasn’t covered a spread in this series since winning 18-0 in Columbia back in 2006.

Saturday, September 11th: Michigan State Spartans vs. Florida Atlantic Owls
Trends of Note
-The Spartans are 7-3 ATS in their L/10 games played in the month of September
-Florida Atlantic has covered the spread in four straight neutral site games
-Michigan State is winless in its L/4 games against teams with a winning record

Series History
MSU topped the Owls 17-0 in a brutal game played in 2008. Though the Owls failed to score, they did stick in front of the 18.5 point spread in East Lansing.

Saturday, September 11th: South Florida Bulls @ Florida Gators
Trends of Note
-The Gators are 21-6 ATS in their L/27 games against teams with a winning record
-South Florida is 6-13 ATS in its L/19 games versus winning teams
-The Bulls are just 1-4 ATS in their L/5 games after scoring at least 40 points the previous week

Series History
First meeting

Saturday, September 11th: Iowa State Cyclones @ Iowa Hawkeyes
Trends of Note
-The Cyclones are 4-0 ATS in their L/4 games against teams outside of the Big XII
-Iowa State is 9-3 ATS in its L/12 games in the month of September
-The Hawkeyes are 11-3 against teams with winning records in their L/14

Series History
Iowa State hasn’t beaten the Hawkeyes since 2007, but Iowa covered its first spread in this series last season since 2003 with a 35-3 victory in Ames. Sorrowfully, the last time the Hawkeyes beat a number at Kinnick Stadium against the Cyclones dates back into the 1990s.

Saturday, September 11th: Florida State Seminoles @ Oklahoma Sooners
Trends of Note
-The Noles are just 8-22-1 ATS in their L/31 games following an SU victory
-Oklahoma is only 0-5-1 ATS in its L/6 after a win
-The Sooners are 11-3-1 ATS in their L/15 September duels

Series History
The only meeting between these teams in the past came in the 2001 National Championship Game. The Sooners were hefty 11 point underdogs but walked away stopping one of the toughest offenses in the country that year and a 13-2 ‘W’.

Saturday, September 11th: Michigan Wolverines @ Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Trends of Note
-The Fighting Irish are 8-20 ATS in their L/28 games played in front of Touchdown Jesus
-Notre Dame is 3-9 ATS in its L/12 games overall
-The Wolverines are a perfect 4-0 ATS in their L/4 non-Big Ten duels

Series History
The home team has covered six of the L/8 in this series. Big Blue came up with a big 38-34 win last season in front of the hometown faithful. The winning team has scored at least 35 points in this game every year since 2006.

Saturday, September 11th: Miami Hurricanes @ Ohio State Buckeyes
Trends of Note
-Miami is 11-27 ATS in its L/38 games following an ATS ‘W’
-The Buckeyes have beaten the college football odds in five straight non-conference games
-Ohio State is 10-2 ATS in its L/12 duels after an ATS victory

Series History
Ohio State won the most recent meeting of these college football giants in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl, which was the National Championship Game. Miami has won a game in the Horseshoe before, winning 23-12 in 1999 there. The underdog has not only covered both spreads in this series, but have won both games outright.

Saturday, September 11th: BYU Cougars @ Air Force Falcons
Trends of Note
-The Cougs are 6-1 ATS in their L/7 games played in September
-BYU is winless in its L/5 games after an ATS ‘W’
-The Falcons are 15-6 ATS in their L/21 Mountain West tussles

Series History
The road for these two teams have been all one way traffic in recent years. BYU has not only won every game against the Falcons since 2004, but has gone a perfect 6-0 ATS in that stretch as well. Air Force hasn’t even gotten closer than two touchdowns against the Cougs either.

Saturday, September 11th: Penn State Nittany Lions @ Alabama Crimson Tide
Trends of Note
