Week 6 College Football Betting
With Saturday’s matchups just over 48 hours away, let’s get down to the business at hand – boosting the annual college football betting bankroll like never before!
No. 17 Florida at No. 1 LSU
Saturday, Oct. 8, 3:30 PM ET
NCAAF Odds
LSU -13.5
Analysis: The Florida Gators (4-1 SU, 3-1-1 ATS) are heading in a good direction under first-year head coach Will Muschamp, but his young and rebuilding ballclub is more than likely going down for the second straight week after getting blown out by Alabama in its 38-10 home loss as a 3.5-point home dog on Saturday.
This week, the Gators get to play host to the top-ranked LSU Tigers (5-0 SU, 3-2 ATS) and things aren’t looking bright, seeing as how the Tigers blew Kentucky off the map in its 35-7 Week 5 beating of their SEC rivals.
While I like the Tigers to win this game outright on the road, I don’t see them duplicating Alabama’s blowout of a week ago, which is why I’m going to urge NCAAF bettors to back the Florida Gators to cover as nearly two-touchdown underdogs.
The road team in this SEC rivalry has gone 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings and Florida is an identical 8-2 ATS in their L/10 games following an SU loss. LSU is 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games as a favorite of 10.5 points or more.
NCAAF Pick: Florida Gators +13.5 Points
No. 3 Oklahoma at No. 11 Texas
Saturday, Oct. 8, 12:00 PM ET
NCAAF Odds
Oklahoma Sooners -10
Analysis: The Oklahoma Sooners (4-0 SU, 3-1 ATS) and the Texas Longhorns (4-0 SU, 3-1 ATS) will both be looking to remain unbeaten when they meet at the Cotton Bowl in this year’s edition of the Red River showdown, but I’ve got the scoop on just which Big 12 team is going to cash in against the spread!
Oklahoma laid waste to Ball State 62-6 in their Week 5 win on Saturday to cash in as a whopping 40-point home favorite, but it’s their wins over Missouri and Florida State that lead me to believe that, not only are they going to cover the spread, but do so by winning outright.
The 11th-ranked Longhorns routed Iowa State 37-14 on Saturday to easily cash in as an 8.5-point road favorite, but I’m not overly impressed with their wins over Rice and UCLA – not to mention their squeaker of a victory over an average BYU team.
The Sooners are just 1-4-1 ATS in the last half-dozen meetings, but Texas is 1-5 ATS in their last six games against a team with a winning record and 1-5 ATS in their L/6 conference games.
I really like Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones and believe he will be the difference between winning and losing this contest, so I urge BetOnline NCAAF bettors to back the Oklahoma Sooners to get the job done with room to spare!
NCAAF Pick: Oklahoma Sooners -10 Points
Kansas at No. 6 Oklahoma State
Saturday, Oct. 8, 3:30 PM ET
NCAAF Odds
Oklahoma State -32
Analysis: The Oklahoma State Cowboys (4-0 SU, 3-1 ATS) remained undefeated by squeaking past Texas A&M in their 30-29 Week 5 win to cash in as a 4.5-point road underdog.
The Kansas Jayhawks (2-2 SU, 2-2 ATS) are coming off a high-scoring victory, 45-34 to Texas Tech but are allowing a whopping 44.2 points per game defensively this season.
Nevertheless, I really like the Jayhawks to cover the insanely high spread as a whopping 31-point road underdog in this matchup mostly because they can score the ball with almost any team in the country. The Jayhawks are averaging a stellar 36.2 points per game this season and have received excellent play from sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb (9 TDs, 3 Ints).
Yes, I know the Jayhawks got throttled by Oklahoma State 48-14 at home last season as a 24-point home dog, but I’m not expecting another rout this time around.
The road team in this series is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and I’m urging BetOnline NCAA gridiron gamblers everywhere to back the Jayhawks in this matchup.
NCAAF Pick: Kansas Jayhawks +31 Points
