College Football Odds, Sharpest Saturday Picks
Let's kick this off with Saturday's biggest early matchup.
Ole Miss vs. Oklahoma Pick
Oklahoma is a 4.5-point spread favorite against Ole Miss according to live college football odds, though the total appears to be more appetizing to professional bettors.
Sharps have steamed this over on multiple occasions thus far, leaving oddsmakers little choice but to push this number up from its opener of 51.5 to the current consensus of 52.5.
Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market and is often the result of bettors with the resources and respect to move odds getting down on the same wager at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.
PRO Prediction: Over 52.5 (-110) — bet365
Northwestern vs. Nebraska Pick
Northwestern is a match for not one, but two Action PRO Systems for Saturday's game against Nebraska.
The Wildcats fits Action PRO's Road Dogs Low Totals and Scoring Streak Fade Betting Systems, which have produced against-the-spread records of 492-346-17 (59%) and 327-232-9 (58%), respectively, potentially explaining why this spread has dipped from Northwestern +8.5 to +7.5 throughout the week.
PRO Prediction: Northwestern +7.5 (-115) — bet365
Utah State vs. New Mexico Pick
The lowest-profile game in this article may be offering the most value.
Behind 82% of the money, and on just 53% of the bets, sharps have pounded the New Mexico spread, driving it from -1.5 to the key number of -3 heading into this game.
PRO Prediction: New Mexico -3 (-110) — bet365
Texas A&M vs. LSU Pick
And now to arguably the biggest game on Saturday's college football Week 9 slate.
