Let's get dive head first into college football with all of Saturday's line moves. Take a minute to review all the betting trends, our free picks and predictions (379-300-10 in 2018) to see what we are thinking today. See you back here tomorrow.
CFB – (315) CENTRAL FLORIDA at (316) EAST CAROLINA *7:00 ET* ESPN2
UCF keeps moving up the polls as other Power 5 teams keep losing. The Knights opened at -24 at East Carolina, but*those betting football*thought that was a little rich and have dropped UCF to -21. From a value perspective, that helps if you prefer UCF. In addition, the Pirates are 6-15 ATS as underdogs and*0-6 ATS vs. teams scoring 37 or more PPG.
Betting Trend -*92% backing Central Florida
Doug's VPID Take*- Central Florida covers
CFB – (319) MARYLAND at (320) IOWA**12:00 ET* ESPN2
Iowa is Iowa. The names on the jersey's change, but what the Hawkeyes do under coach Kirk Ferentz does not. But bettors see a Maryland team that has a large quickness and speed edge and because of that Iowa has been lowered from -13 to -9.5. Whether the Terps cover or not comes down to if they can run on Iowa's No.4 run defense. Maryland is 16th nationally in yards per point and is efficient offensively, but I'll say the new spread is a tick too low with the Hawkeyes 21-6 ATS versus teams averaging 230 or more rushing YPG and they win by 10.
Betting Trend -*64% backing Iowa
Doug's VPID Take*- Lean Iowa
CFB – (331) MICHIGAN at (332) MICHIGAN STATE *12:00 ET* FOX
This will be a Keith Jackson special, where the game will be decided "...by the hosses in the trenches." The total in this Big 12 battle has collapsed from 45.5 to 41. I'm the first to admit this would seem to have all the makings of a game that would not sniff 40 points. Yet, when you think about coaches and their willingness to pull out all the stops, you have to take in consideration*their*effect. Coach Harbaugh is 15-6 OVER when playing against a team with a winning record and Coach Dantonio is*9-1 OVER as a home underdog.
Betting Trend -*74% backing Over
Doug's VPID Take*- Lean Over
