Keys to Betting on College Football
Point spreads often move violently in college football, especially if a star player gets injured during practice or comes down with an illness. As with all other sports, getting the best of the number is key to showing a profit at the end of the season. Here are a few other keys to betting on college football:

- Also, if you like the underdog, wait until later in the week.
- Make your own power ratings!
- Watch as many games as possible to see O-Line and D-Line performance.
- Pay attention to coaching trends.
