Check out our three favorite bets against the spread for Week 8 of the College Football season.
The entire college football world is ganging up on Penn State and former head coach James Franklin.
It’s been a nightmare season for the Nittany Lions, and it’s come from absolutely nowhere.
Penn State was a three-point loss to Notre Dame away from a trip to the national championship last year, and was pegged as the No. 2 team in the country in the AP’s preseason poll.
A decent start to this season backed up the hype, but everything came undone in three weeks.
An overtime loss to Oregon, an embarrassing blowout against winless UCLA, and then a feeble response in a losing effort against Northwestern.
Goodbye, James Franklin.
As much fun as it’s been kicking the Nittany Lions while they’re down (we backed Northwestern to lead this column last week), it’s now time to reverse course.
College football is all about ebbs and flows. If you find yourself consistently backing trendy teams and fading the unfashionable ones, you’re going to have a hard time winning. Buying low and selling high is a foundational part of becoming a successful handicapper.
