Best College Football Bets of the Week

Coming off a week in which we cashed a +400 underdog outright, I am looking to carry over that success into the stacked weekday slate of CFB games. Week 8 marks the moment all college football hardos have been waiting for: college football games Tuesday through Saturday. With that being said, I have a handful of games that I can’t wait to bet on.

BC at Virginia Tech, Thursday 7:30

Boston College started the season 5-1 before a soul crushing 10 point loss at Virginia two weeks ago. On the other hand, the Hokies, also coming off a bye, nearly upset Miami on the road and Rutgers at home in weeks 5 and 4 respectively. Virginia Tech is much better than their 3-3 record and if their game against Miami went slightly different, we would be talking about this team in a whole other light. However, they didn’t beat Miami, they didn’t beat Rutgers, and their 3 wins against Marshall, ODU and Stanford are anything but impressive. I am willing to back the Eagles and Bill O’Brien coming off the bye week.

BC +7.5

BC ML (+220)

Florida State at Duke, Friday 7:00

Anyone with a pulse is well aware that Florida State has been wildly underwhelming this season posing an atrocious 1-5 record so far in 2024. Now, they are faced with the task of going on the road on a Friday night to take on the 5-1 Duke Blue Devils. Just looking at the records, you would be shocked to hear that Duke is only a 3.5 point favorite. Duke hasn’t played a monster schedule but have complied impressive wins against both UNC and Northwestern. This pick is based on the sole fact that thisd line makes no sense and Vegas must know something that we don’t. Close your eyes, plug your nose, and bet Florida State.

FSU +3.5
