NCAA College Football betting is a great way to spend a weekend, so if you’re new to betting on the NCAAF Odds, we recommend following along to learn all you need to know about sports betting on college football Odds.

How to Bet on NCAA College Football

There are a few popular options you’ll want to familiarize yourself with as a new sports bettor. Understanding how College Football odds work, and how to place these wagers will benefit your overall NCAAF betting strategy.

Let’s take a look at NCAA college football betting odds first:

NCAA College Football Betting Odds

When you’re looking at college football odds, you will be looking at the numbers you see next to a team name on the oddsboard. Whether the number is positive or negative will show you how likely it will be that outcome will occur. A positive number indicates that the team is less likely to win, and the negative number represents the favored team.

NCAA College Football Betting Options

Now that we’ve covered what college football odds look like, let’s look at some common NCAAF betting options:

College Football Moneylines

Moneyline betting is a simple betting type available that’s easy to understand, especially if you’re new to college football betting. Your only job is to determine which team will win the game.

Let’s look at an example:

• UCF -130
• Boise State +350

In this example, UCF is favored to win this game and Boise State is considered the underdog. We learned above that negative numbers represent favored players and positive numbers represent underdogs. In this case, you would need to bet $130 on UCF in order to win $100. On the other side of the bet, you would need to bet $100 to win $350.

The odds show you how much you would win or have to bet if you were betting in denominations of $100. You can bet any amount – it’s just an easy way to look at the odds.

College Football Point Spreads

Spreads are popular throughout all professional sports, but NCAA college football odds can tend to be lopsided within their respective conferences so you can see some wild point differentials. The larger the spread, the more opportunity you have to take advantage of some great odds.

Point spreads level the playing field slightly, as oddsmakers set the spread and allow the underdog a better chance of being on the winning end of a ticket. If you have a spread of 7.5, the favored team must win the game by more than 8 points, and the underdog will either have to win the game or lose by less than 7 points.

If you have Texas Tech and Houston playing, and the spread looks like this:

• Texas Tech (+4.5)
• Houston (-4.5)

Houston is the favored team and must win by more than five points. Texas Tech is an underdog and can either win the game or lose by less than four points.

College Football Totals

Sometimes, with so many college football teams playing on any given weekend, it can be challenging to decide who to bet on. Betting on totals is a great opportunity to still get value out of a game where you don’t like a particular team to win. All you have to do is decide if the total number of points scored by both teams will be over or under our line.

If you have Oregon State at Purdue, and the total is set at 50, you will need to decide if you think both teams will score more or less than 50 points. Let’s say the final score is 31-24 – this means the over will have cashed as the actual total was 55.

College Football Prop Bets

Prop bets are fun ways to make an NCAAF College Football game more exciting. You can bet on interesting instances that will occur during the game such as totals by quarter, team props, player props including how many yards a quarterback might pass, how many yards a running back might rush, the list goes on.

Prop bets are unique for each game, but you can place a few bets during the game to make things a bit more interesting. We recommend checking out the specials section of each game you plan to watch, you might find something of interest!

NCAAF Football Futures

NCAAF futures Bets are extremely popular to place wagers on because you can win some big money if you accurately predict the winner of the CFB Playoff Championship months in advance. The closer you get to the future event, the odds will move in the direction of the most likely outcome. Locking in odds months in advance will ensure a much larger payout. However, it is extremely difficult to predict as there are 130 teams in Division I College Football. Your odds are 1/130 of picking the winning team – unless there is an absolute clear-cut powerhouse of a team. There are always upsets, and there are always surprises. This isn’t meant to scare you from betting on futures – it’s to recognize the opportunity, but also prove that anything can happen when it comes to NCAA College Football odds. Alabama Crimson Tide is the favorite going into the 2021-2022 NCAA College Football season at +300. The season begins in August, and we expect the odds board will be constantly moving throughout the season – get your bets in before it starts moving!
