College Football Betting Previews

The handicapping experts at OffshoreInsiders.com take a peek at key college football betting games for Saturday.

Virginia Tech-Boston College

Talk about revenge, Boston College scored two touchdowns in the final three minutes to defeat VA Tech when these teams met earlier this season. Tech has won four straight since then and their two-headed quarterback combo is healthy.

BC is just 2-2 straight up since an 8-0 start. Tech is second in the nation in scoring defense allowing just 15.4 points per game. Their star linebacker Vince Hall missed the initial meeting but is back for this one having compiled 20 tackles in two games since coming back. The Eagles have won 3-of-4 in the series, but the Hokies are 8-3 the last 11.

USC-UCLA

Motivation: USC is playing for their sixth straight conference championship and UCLA may be playing for the job of their embattled head coach Karl Dorrell. Also, revenge is on the mind of the Trojans. They are 26-1 straight up in November and December under head coach Pete Carroll but their only loss was last year to the Bruins.

USC is sixth in the NCAA in scoring defense, allowing 16.7 points per game. UCLA is second to last in the conference in scoring offense at 24.4 points per game.

Oregon-Oregon State

Minus former Heisman Trophy frontrunner Dennis Dixon, Oregon has gone from the number two team in the nation to trying to snap a two-game losing streak. Oregon lost four straight to end last year and they are minus five starters since the year started. Now they have a redshirt freshman Cody Kempt making his first career start at quarterback. He replaces Brady Leaf who suffers from an ankle injury and ineptitude.

The home team has won 10 straight in the Civil War series. The Beavers are heading in the opposite direction of the Ducks. Since a 2-3 straight up start, they've won 5-of-6. They are well rested, not having played since Nov. 17.
