Virginia at Miami
Virginia goes into Miami to take on the Hurricanes. This is a game I looked at and knew immediately I would be betting. Personally I have no idea how the Hurricanes are favored against the Cavaliers. Miami has been absolutely terrible this year and has to turn to their back up quarterback in this game. He actually started against Virginia last year and couldn’t get the offense going at all. Virginia is probably the second-best team and Miami should feel lucky most of the ACC sucks or else this year or we could be talking about Miami missing a bowl. Here is everything I’m betting on in college football week 7.
Virginia +110
Texas Tech at Baylor
This one is a simple one for me, I’ve bet on Baylor every game this year and I’m going to do it until it doesn’t work. I actually don’t hate this Texas Tech team but I think Baylor is challenging Texas to be the second-best team in the Big 12. Just let it ride with Baylor they’re still somehow underrated.
Baylor -11 -105
Georgia State at Coastal
Coastal Carolina is the worst recruiting team in the Sunbelt, which is kind of impressive. They did return a good amount of production from last season though. The only problem is Georgia State returned more and recruits at a better level. Both teams have wins over power five teams this year. Granted they beat Tennessee and Kansas, to me the Tennessee win is more impressive because they still have legitimate athletes. In this game, I think Georgia State is just the better football team and the wrong team is favored.
Georgia State +180
Ole Miss at Missouri
I make both of these teams about as even as possible in the talent department. I think they’re both in the bottom five talent-wise in the SEC. Kelly Bryant’s health could be an issue. With him healthy I would probably make Missouri -1.5 on a neutral field. A spread around 12 points is just too much for two evenly matched teams.
Ole Miss +12 -110
Charlotte at FIU
So Charlotte has actually been surprising in a good way this year and FIU has been disappointing. Before the year most people would have thought the 49ers would be as bad as UMASS and UCONN, it turns out they’re a step ahead of those guys. The only problem is a step ahead of them still isn’t a good football team. A 2-3 start for FIU is disappointing but they lost to three solid football teams. Betting on FIU hasn’t been my most profitable venture this year. But I think Charlotte regresses a little back to who they are talent-wise this week and FIU has some positive regression.
FIU -5 -110
North Texas at Southern Mississippi
I have to be honest, I love this North Texas team. Mason Fine is one of the best quarterbacks in the group of five and I guess he has his own website. I don’t hate Southern Miss they’re a quality team. Both teams have played pretty tough schedules. Southern Miss lost to Alabama and Mississippi State, no shame in that. North Texas losses are to SMU, Houston, and Cal. Both of these teams are better than the records show. North Texas is a top recruiting team in the conference. When you combine that with their quarterback play I think North Texas is the best team in Conference USA though.
North Texas +135
Nebraska at Minnesota
The big news for this game is whether Cornhuskers QB Adrian Martinez is going to play. Personally I think Martinez plays but even if he can’t go I think back up Noah Vedral is a solid option. The big thing for this game is Minnesota is being overrated for being 5-0. The only thing is they haven’t played anyone yet. And I can’t believe I’m saying this but Nebraksa is somehow being underrated after they and Utah were the two most overrated teams in the country before the season started. I thought i would go the whole season without betting on Nebraska but i guess not. You can see how wrong I was about Minnesota last week here.
Nebraska +7.5 -110
Hawaii at Boise State
I guess I have to make a disclaimer before this one I’m sitting on some Hawaii futures and I am personally lower on this Boise State team then I have been in years. Even saying that I still have Boise State rated as the best team in the Mountain West. It’s a very small margin between them and Hawaii though. I do hate betting Hawaii off the island but 12 is just way too much in this game. I would probably take Hawaii all the way down to +7.5.
Hawaii +12 -110
That’s all for this week. Sadly I have no money on any of the good games this week, so I probably won’t be watching most of the games I’m invested in but that’s life. Good luck to everyone betting this week, unless you have the opposite side as me then I hope you lose all your money. That was everything I’m betting on in college football week 7.
