The college football season is coming down to its final few games, and the oddsmakers have a pretty good handle on most of the teams. However, there are always some lines that open at the wrong number and the wise guys are quick to jump in on the action in search of a profit. There are some games in Week 12 that are already categorized that way, and it could continue to happen as the lines move throughout the week. Here is a look at some of the notable lines for the week.... 

The college football regular season heads into Week 11 this week, with a bunch of notable matchups on the schedule. While bettors are interested in the big games, they are also taking a look at some of the smaller ones in order to find the best wagers. There has been some early movement already as certain lines were out of whack and the money started coming in fast and furiously on one side. Check out all of the Week 11 Wiseguy picks for the upcoming batch of games. ... 

It doesn’t get much bigger than this. The LSU Tigers are undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the country, and they will hit the road this week to face off against the No. 2 and fellow undefeated Alabama Crimson Tide. This is one of the best rivalries in all of college football and is once again shaping up to be a classic. The winner will practically punch their ticket to the College Football Playoff and will be seen as the team to beat in the race for the national championship. The loser will still be alive but will have some work to do moving forward. All eyes will be trained on Tuscaloosa for this epic showdown. ... 

The college football lines have been out for a few days, and some movement is beginning to become evident as sharps have jumped on different spreads, moneyline and totals across the landscape. The oddsmakers generally do a very good job of placing lines that get action on both sides but it becomes obvious when there is a different opinion made by the public because money will stream in on one side. Let’s take a look at some of the games that have resulted in some major movement heading into the ... 

The Georgia Bulldogs and Florida Gators both have one loss this season, but they are in the top-10 and still in the hunt for the College Football Playoff. They face off this weekend, with the winner getting a huge boost while the loser likely falls out of contention for the national championship. Florida is the higher-ranked team at No. 6 in the country but the oddsmakers do not believe that is accurate as Georgia has been instituted as a pretty solid favorite to capture this matchup.... 

Those wacky wise guys did it again last week getting a clean sweep of the three games we followed with sharp action. If you’ve been paying attention over the course of the college football season and following our lead on the wise guy plays at offshore sportsbooks, you’d have a nice chunk of change in your account for the remaining games. It’s not over yet, though, and we can still pad that bankroll with the help of wise guys.... 

This game lost a lot of its appeal when the Wisconsin Badgers were upset last week, losing for the first time this season to a not very good Illinois squad. Maybe Bucky was looking ahead to this monumental Big Ten showdown with No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes, which is close to the only reason we could find to explain the Badgers meltdown. Or maybe it was a ploy by Paul Chryst to lull OSU into a false sense of security since the Buckeyes have annihilated all challengers by an average margin of 41.7 po... 

For years the Oregon Ducks won games with their fast-break offense racking up arena league numbers. My, how times have changed. Putting the Ducks at the top of the Pac-12 and in the top-three nationally in points per game allowed was unheard of even last season. But the D has been phenomenal allowing single-digit point totals in each of the last five games and winning them all. The Ducks are a 2.5-point favorite on the current college football line and they put their winning streak on the line S... 

It’s time to see what the wise guys are up to so we can make some money on the college football betting lines. They don’t always get em right, but if you’ve followed along with us this season as we track what the wise guys are up to, you should have a good chunk of change in your accounts at offshore sportsbooks. With half the 2019 college football season in the books there is enough data to make smart wagers. ... 

Jimbo Fisher wasn’t paid a boat load of money to beat Texas State and Lamar. Nope, he was given the keys to the Brinks truck to beat SEC foes and lift the Texas AM Aggies to the College Football Playoff. It’s early in his tenure, but he’s failed so far. Fisher gets another crack at his mentor Nick Saban and the top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide, the Aggies’ second game this season against the No. 1 team and third against a top-10 foe. Alabama is a 16.5-point favorite on the current college footbal... 

Following wise guys isn’t always easy since it’s tough to figure out their methods. Watching the lines and spreads, and following the money will give you an idea of what the goofy bastards are up to. As we near the mid-point in the 2019 college football season you’d notice a definite bulge in your bankroll if you’ve been following wise guy plays. They don’t always get em right, but they are winners more times than not.... 

Wise guys bounced back last week in the three games we tracked pulling off a pair of wins to get back in the plus column. When wagering over the course of a season you have to remember it’s a marathon and not a sprint. There are going to be landmines along the way, like we had in Week 4. But following sharp action on the college football betting lines and making smarter wagers will prove to be profitable in the end.... 

With six teams currently ranked in the AP poll we’re going to see more games like this one with the SEC schedule kicking into gear. The conference will have a number of marquee games on the weekly docket. The Week 6 SEC game of the week features a pair of unbeatens with No. 7 Auburn Tigers visiting The Swamp to take on No. 10 Florida Gators in a cross-over tilt. Current college football odds have the Tigers favored against UF for the first time this century. CBS will televise this matchup at 3:3... 

The Bronco Mendenhall plan is coming to fruition for the Virginia Cavaliers, who are off to their first 4-0 start since 2004. After playing as a favorite in each of those games the Cavs will be on the other end for their showdown with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in one of two matchups this week between ranked foes. There are no moral victories, but the Irish should feel good about their performance in last week’s loss at Georgia. This Week 5 bout kicks off at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, Septembe... 

There’s a reason why sportsbooks are in business and that’s because they also win. Proving that wise guys don’t know everything we came up with a big ohfer on the Week 4 games we tracked. Wise guys we followed over the first few weeks we’re on an absolute heater so something had to happen, and it did. Still, if you can keep up with sharp action there is a great chance to turn a profit on the college football betting lines. It’s all about being informed to make smart wagers.We tracked some sharp ... 

If you can keep up with the wise guys there is a chance to make some money on the college football betting line. And those wacky dudes did it again last week, cashing winning tickets in the three games we were tracking. It’s not always easy to tell what wise guys are doing, but paying close attention to the spreads, totals and handle can help you make a smarter wager and hopefully turn a profit at top offshore sportsbooks.... 

With three teams ranked among the eight best in the country and four teams in the top-17, the SEC West is easily the toughest division in the most difficult conference in America. Every game is going to be a dogfight and it starts on Saturday when the Auburn Tigers visit the Texas AM Aggies in the league opener for both sides. At No. 8 Auburn is the higher ranked team, but current college football odds put the Tigers as a 4-point dog. This game gets underway at 3:30 p.m. ET from Kyle Field in Co... 

The most anticipated nonconference game of the college football season takes place on Saturday between the hedges when the Notre Dame Fighting Irish take on the Georgia Bulldogs from Sanford Stadium in Athens. Current college football odds have Georgia as a 14-point favorite. The Dogs thought they were worthy of a CFP berth last season, only to see the Irish get in as the No. 4 team. There isn’t much on-field history between the teams with only two prior meetings, but there certainly are some ba... 

It’s a Week 4 battle of ranked unbeatens in their Big Ten opener. The Michigan Wolverines and Wisconsin Badgers are coming off a bye and they’ve taken different routes to get here, but they collide on Saturday with one team getting its first loss of the season. The maize and blue squeaked by Army in overtime in its last contest. Meanwhile, the Badgers have been a big surprise with a pair of victories by a combined score of 110-0 and current college football odds have them as a 3.5-point favorite... 

With conference play getting into full swing this week there are a number of crucial games on the Week 4 college football schedule. As always, the Power 5 league’s dominated the headlines and a mega battle takes place in Wisconsin between two ranked teams. The Pac-12 has regained some of its swagger with six teams ranked in the latest AP top-25 poll, the most in almost four years. However, that doesn’t mean the league is chasing down the SEC for supremacy.... 

Hey Maryland and USC, thanks for playing. After entering the top-25 last week those two fell out of the rankings with lackluster losses, opening the door for a few other schools to crack into the poll. The bottom of the top-25 will probably change every week with teams waiting on the doorstep while others falter. A pair of Pac-12 teams snuck into the rankings this week with Cal at No. 23 and Arizona State at No. 24. TCU also cracked the top-25 entering as the final team in the rankings.... 

Things are heating up for Chip Kelly in more ways than one. Not only are his UCLA Bruins facing the red-hot Oklahoma Sooners as a 23.5-point underdog on the current college football odds in Week 3, his lack of wins since taking over the program have put Kelly on an uncomfortably warm seat. It’s nothing a major upset can’t fix, but the Bruins haven’t won a game outright when getting 20 or more points on the closing line since at least 2002. The Sooners look to continue their early season dominanc... 

It’s not always easy to tell what a wise guy is up to, but paying close attention the to line and the handle can help you make a smarter wager. It can also make you some coin at top offshore sportsbooks. And now that every college football team has played a few games we have a better idea of who and what they are. And so do the wise guys.... 

Maybe, just maybe, the Syracuse Orange were looking ahead to their Week 3 matchup with No. 1 ranked Clemson Tigers. That might help explain their dreadful effort in a 63-20 loss to Maryland. No team has played Clemson tougher over the last two seasons. The Orange pulled off a stunning upset at home two years ago and had a late lead last season before succumbing. Current college football odds have Clemson as 28-point chalk for the Saturday, September 14, battle inside the Carrier Dome. The game w... 

We’ll keep a close eye on a couple of new teams as we enter Week 3 of the 2019 college football season after the top-25 had a mild shakeup at the bottom. Impressive wins by Maryland and USC over ranked foes vaulted them into the rankings, knocking their opponents out of the top-25. The Terps hammered Syracuse, 63-20, to essentially switch places with the Orange at No. 21. Meanwhile, playing with backup turned starter Kedon Slovis after the loss of JT Daniels, the Trojans got all over Stanford to enter the poll at No. 24. In the storied history of USC football, Slovis’ 377 passing yards set a program record for a freshman. ...
