NCAA football is back and, though it’s just a quick preview of a great season that awaits, we’ve got some key betting trends to guide you with your wagers for Week 0.
Unlike the NFL where every team plays in its opening week, College Football does things a bit differently as there are only seven upcoming games for Week 0 action.
As such, there are some unique betting considerations and historical trends to keep in mind when betting early-season NCAA football. There are also some College Football Underdog Picks that we like this weekend as well.
College Football betting sites have all of the point spreads, moneylines, totals and props for Week 0 available. Let’s take a closer look at some of the key NCAAF betting trends for this weekend’s slate of games.
