I haven’t seen Georgia Southern play one down this season, but I love them to dominate Liberty in the Cure Bowl at Exploria Stadium in Orlando, Fla. on Saturday. There are several reasons for my infatuation with the Eagles, who are 4.5-point favorites. It’s the same feeling I had when […]
Seven college football bowl games are on the schedule for Saturday, with the Celebration Bowl (Atlanta), New Mexico Bowl (Albuquerque), Cure Bowl (Orlando), Camellia Bowl (Montgomery, Ala.), Boca Raton Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl, and New Orleans Bowl all kicking off.

Bowl season is upon us — 40 extra college football games in December and January make for festive holiday betting opportunities, particularly for parlay card players. The first bowl games kick off on Friday, in Frisco, Texas, and Nassau, Bahamas. Then on Saturday are seven more. While successful sports bettors […]
Utah State quarterback Jordan Love said he wanted to end his college career “with a bang†at Friday’s Frisco Bowl in Frisco, Texas. Instead, it almost ended with a bong when he was cited for misdemeanor drug possession on Saturday. Love, starting running back Gerold Maurice Bright, and reserve wide […]
Friday’s Bahamas Bowl is the fulfillment of a promise University North Carolina-Charlotte coach Will Healy made when he took over the program this year. Healy pledged to turn his squad around, but not many thought that included getting the university to its first bowl game in school history. The 49ers […]
Welcome to Bowl Season! Can you keep up with all those college football bowls with random and bizarre sponsors? It’s difficult to sift out the legitimate bowls from the made-up bowls on social media meme accounts. After thorough research at OG headquarters, we came across 13 rejected college football bowl […]
The Heisman Trophy ceremony is Saturday in New York City, and the outcome looks to be a foregone conclusion. LSU quarterback Joe Burrow is all but sure to walk away with the prestigious title, and the only intrigue around the ceremony seems to be whether the senior will garner the […]
There were only nine college football games on Saturday, but there was plenty of betting on the conference championships. While there were large wagers on the Big 10 and SEC conference matchups, the smaller conference championship games also saw significant action. Caesars Palace Director of Trading, Jeff Davis, told Covers.com […]
Ohio State and LSU knew they would be the top two teams in the final College Football Playoff rankings, they just didn’t know which team would finish first. Of course, the coaches for both teams each thought they should be the No. 1 seed. The 13-member committee eded the drama […]
Three seasons ago, Baylor had just one win. This season, the team is playing in the Big 12 Championship against Oklahoma Saturday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. If the 11-1 Bears upset the Sooners, they have an outside chance to get into the College Football Playoff. Saturday’s game is […]
There are some marquee conference championships this weekend, including the SEC, Big 12, and Pac-12, but I’m bypassing those, and looking at the Sun Belt Championship game. With my One Bet, $100 I like Appalachian State, and giving away 6.5 points to Louisiana-Lafayette. The Sun Belt Championship will be played […]
The SEC Championship game is a must-win for Georgia if they want to stay in the top four of the College Football Playoff Rankings. But LSU coach Ed Orgeron talks like it’s his team that needs the victory. The 12-0 Tigers are 7-point favorites for Saturday’s game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium […]
No. 1 Ohio State (12-0) is looking to repeat its regular season success against No. 8 Wisconsin (10-2) when the two teams meet Saturday night in the Big Ten Championship Game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The Buckeyes easily dismissed the Badgers at home in their first encounter back […]
No. 3 Clemson (12-0) is widely expected to dominate Saturday’s ACC Championship Game in Charlotte against No. 23 Virginia (9-3), but the Tigers will face the pressure of knowing that a loss could eliminate them from the College Football Playoff. FanDuel Sportsbook has Clemson as an astounding 28.5-point favorite over […]
Oregon coaches and players are trying not to be star struck for Friday’s Pac-12 Championship game, but it’s hard with the players Utah puts on the field. The Ducks will have their hands full with the offense and defense, and it is difficult for them to discern what Utes players […]
While the first four spots of the College Football Playoff rankings remain unchanged, Utah, Oklahoma, and Baylor are all taking big steps toward the top. The Utes, Sooners, and Bears grabbed spots 5, 6 and 7 in the rankings, and all conceivably have a chance at the fourth spot in […]
Though the College Football Playoff Rankings don’t come out until Tuesday night, there are several conference championship games with CFP implications. The SEC, Pac-12, and Big 12 championships could determine which four teams are going into the CFP semifinals, starting on Dec. 28. One semifinal is the Peach Bowl from […]
Alabama coach Nick Saban found out how important a kicker is, while the other rivalry games were mostly blowouts for the favorites. A missed field goal by Alabama cost them a chance to play in the College Football Playoff, but other playoff contenders, LSU, Ohio State, and Clemson all won […]
It was a particularly gory Black Sunday, as five college coaches were fired, with others still waiting for the axe to fall. The quintet that were let go included Missouri’s Barry Odom, Matt Luke at Ole Miss, Boston College’s Steve Addazio, South Florida’s Charlie Strong, and University of San Antonio’s […]
A victory in the Alabama-Auburn game will not only provide Tigers coach Gus Malzahn a chance at a milestone, but more importantly, maybe an opportunity to silence those clamoring for his firing. Malzahn has been the Auburn coach since 2012, and has beaten Alabama twice in the annual Iron Bowl. […]
