There is a significant
distinction in wagering and handicapping professional and college football
games.
First of all there are
fewer pro teams than college. Pro teams play each other more often during the
season, making it easier to handicap. The spreads are different between the two,
in college the lines are much larger and the underdogs do not cover as
frequently. The top teams hardly ever loose to poor teams straight up and
against the spread. The Pro (NFL) underdogs win 35% of the games straight up and
closer to 45% by the spread. The quantity of Information on college is much less
in comparison to the NFL and information on the pros players is easily acquired
compared to college players, making it more difficult to have suitable info.
Besides, the NCAA rivalry games and bowl-bound teams create another variance in
handicapping. Coaches achievements play a factor and coaches will be change
often, especially after having two disastrous seasons in a row. There are
opportunities in finding a fault in the spread on college games which could be valuable but not easy to come across among the sharp Sportsbooks. The above is
only a brief commentary on the differences between pro and college handicapping.
Well it’s time to gather all the
information you have acquired and begin the labor of analyzing. Good Luck!
