College Football Betting
By Sebastien Veilleux
College football has been called a pure game. The players are out there on the field playing for glory and school pride. They don’t get paid and many of them are hoping to get a shot at the NFL. College football has no salary cap and there’s nothing stopping a school from signing many top recruits in the country. In fact, a recent report showing the top high school possible recruits revealed that a strong majority had USC and Texas on their list of college choices. Good players want to play at a good school. As a result good schools get better and poor schools get worse. Year in and year out we hear the names of top programs like Ohio State over and over. College football is a freer game than the NFL. Coaches are not afraid to try trick plays and run the option. As a result, the points can really add up. One trap that many college football bettors that also bet the NFL fall into is handicapping the game as if it was the NFL. In the NFL, each and every player—no matter how bad they seem—is one of the top players in the entire football world. In college football, there are handfuls of NFL type players with scores of just average players. In the NFL, you would never see a spread between two teams in the 40s. However, it’s a common occurrence each week in college football. Yes, those favorite teams cover too. One aspect of the game that must be on any bettors mind is motivation. If the game features two bitter rivals, the game could be a hot contest no matter what the talent level. If nothing else, the worse team could remain closer to the favorite. It’s important to analyze the coaches
Weekend Reading: Tales from Journal Land (Returns!)
Entries from 7/23 - 9/3
Hey there everyone and apologies for letting this feature slack off the past month. I'm going to assume, given the fact that after two weeks AWOL I hadn't received a barrage of "where the hell are you??" emails and messages that you all were just being very understanding of the fact that sometimes I get a bit extra busy given that GDNet is by far not the only thing I work on these days. So, thanks for giving me a little vacation time ;) I decided to take the time to catch up on ALL the journal entries that were posted in my absence. I've left out the Pick of the Week for this entry but have bolded some interesting entries below.
I'm also going to remind everyone to reference their journal entries as much as possible when they make new posts about previously-talked-about subjects. Yes, when someone views your journal's main page they see a lot of entries, but when I link to an entry or even when someone is taken to an entry from a search result (need I remind you all how much Google indexes this site??) they only see that single entry. If you'd like people to read more about your project or anything that you reference in your post, don't expect them to take the time to hunt it down themselves. Link everything you can, it'll make the difference when a mildly-interested person becomes hooked when they read more about what you're doing.
Welcome new Journal Land citizens dx elliot and Richard Geslot!
as well. What type of coach does each team have? Does the coach like to run often? Does the coach like to fire away even when the game is won?
Here’s an example. For years Air Force was a team that would run the ball 80% of the time—effectively too. If they were playing a team that’s soft on the run, look out. By knowing the team’s game plan, you can forecast the outcome better. If Air Force were playing a poorer team, record wise, that had a really solid run defense, what would you do? If you were simply a college football handicapper that looks at wins/loses, you would most likely fail. In the pros, teams are more apt to adapt. If the run is not working, they go to the air. However, in college football, some programs are built a certain way and they stick to their game plan for the most part. If the team is built as a running powerhouse, they are going to keep at the run, because that’s all they can really do. The grand lesson here is to not look at college football like you would the NFL. While it’s football, it really is not the same game.
