Sports Betting News and Notes For College Football

Sports handicapping news and notes for college football betting comes directly from the private clipboard of OffshoreInsiders.com

Georgia Tech-Notre Dame

Almost all reliable sources agree that Demetrius Jones will start at QB for Notre Dame or at least be the main signal caller. The Irish, of course, must replace Brady Quinn, now with the Cleveland Browns.

Missouri-Illinois

Cy McCormick of the MasterLockLine says that among sharp Las Vegas sports bettors and online gamblers, the consensus “surprise team” among BCS conferences is Illinois. “There is a lot of pressure on Missouri in this game.  I see serious upset potential here.”

Florida International-Penn State

Look for Penn State coach Joe Paterno to use this game to experiment.  Although he has 15 starters back, only one offensive lineman returns at his original position.

Houston-Oregon

Houston must replace one of their best quarterbacks ever Kevin Kolb. They face a high powered Oregon team, trying to match points with Blake Joseph and Case Keenum battling for the No. 1 spot.  They have thrown eight passes between them at the college football level.

Houston has been experimenting with a new 4-2-5 defense and will likely face some no-huddle against the Ducks as they break in an unfamiliar alignment.

Baylor-TCU

Baylor wide receiver Thomas White admits his Bears are feeling disrespected over being 21-point underdogs. Last year, the Bears led TCU 7-0 at halftime. Baylor coach Guy Morriss has said he watched the game films from last year’s matchup “about 600 times”.  Mike Godsey of GodsTips.com, generally considered the top football handicapper in the nation said, “That sounds like a circled game to me” referring to term used by pointspread bettors looking for a betting edge in which one team may be more motivated for a blowout or to keep a game close. 

Colorado-Colorado State

Which team gets the best sleep? The kickoff is at 10:00 a.m. local time. Colorado will be without a lot of projected starters. Michael Sipili, the probable starting middle linebacker, was suspended with two reserves for offseason fighting incidents. Last year’s starting quarterback Bernard Jackson is out with personal issues.  He was supposed to play more of a “slash” jack-of-all-trades position this year. True freshman Josh Smith, another likely starter, is out with a bruised kidney.
