The best bets from this Saturday’s college football slate
http://ift.tt/2ymEkqT
With each week of the college football season we learn a bit more about what we can expect come December and January.
Alabama and Clemson are still the two best teams in the country, but a fierce battle will determine the final two spots in the playoff, and right now both are still very much up for grabs.
With each week we also learn a bit more about who we should and shouldn’t be betting on for the rest of the year.
Whether you were burnt by Florida one too many times or have grown weary of taking big favorites to cover after Oklahoma lost outright to Iowa State when they were 30 point dogs, each bit of information can help you moving forward for the (hopefully) small price of a lost bet.
Last week, we returned to our winning ways with a neatly profitable 4-3 record against the spread. This weekend we’ll look to keep that trend going and start making some real money on the season.
Below are our best bets for this Saturday’s college footbal slate. All lines come courtesy of the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook.
LAST WEEK: 4-3
OVERALL: 22-20
Ole Miss (-3.5) over Vanderbilt

Ole Miss is reeling after three straight road losses including consecutive shellackings at the hands of Alabama and Auburn. But this week they return home to play an up-and-down Vanderbilt team. Look for the Rebels to right the ship and show their home crowd that they’re better than the last two weeks have shown.
Purdue (+17.5) over Wisconsin

Purdue has an offense you can’t take your eyes off of and will be one of the best tests this Wisconsin team has faced all season. Whenever there’s an offense I love getting two touchdowns and change, it’s a tough deal to turn down. The Boilermakers were winners for us last Saturday, let’s see if they can keep up the success.
Arkansas (+31.5) over Alabama

It’s always scary to take a team heading to Alabama to cover, but once again, this just feels like too many points to spot to a competent team like Arkansas. All you need is a few scores to make this line look easy.
