Week 15 Early Games in College Football Betting Action
Is it possible that sports betting fans are already in Week Fifteen in college football?
Such is life as a college football betting fan. Things have changed in college football to the point that what used to be a strictly Saturday affair has become a Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday affair. BetUS online sportsbook fans get the pleasure of making online bets on a game on almost every day of the week!
Let’s take a look at the Week Fifteen games on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Wednesday – – 12/03/2008
Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders vs. Louisiana Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns
Analysis: The Ragin’ Cajuns, even though they have the same record as the Blue Raiders, are far superior in every phase of the college football game. Without a doubt the Ragin’ Cajuns are going to be favored in this game. They might be a big BetUS online sportsbook favorite which would mean that online betting fans need to really consider either stepping away from this game on Wednesday or taking a stab on the BetUS total. Why?
Because as good as Louisiana Lafayette is, stats wise, they can lose against the spread once in a while. They’ve done it four times this season going 7 and 4. That makes them a rather iffy bet if the online betting spread gets out of control. The Blue Raiders don’t have anything close to the offense of the Ragin’ Cajuns but the Ragin’ Cajuns do love that over going 7 and 4 so far this season. This game will come down to the BetUS online wagering spread. That should help online college football betting fans make their decision.
Fair against the Spread Line: Louisiana Lafayette – 11 ½
Fair BetUS Total: 70 ½
Fair Money Line Wager: Blue Raiders + 450
Thursday – – 12/04/2008
Louisville Cardinals vs. Rutgers Scarlet Knights
Analysis: It’s been a down year for both Louisville and Rutgers. A lot of sports betting fans probably had no idea how the loss of running back Ray Rice would affect this Rutgers team. Rutgers has a winning record of 6 and 5 and they are 6 and 4 against the BetUS online wagering spread, but after that this team isn’t nearly as potent as they were the past couple of seasons. It’s got to be hard recruiting for one of the best academic schools in the nation.
Louisville really has no excuses. Former coach Bobby Petrino, for all of his faults, put together a national powerhouse program. The Cardinals haven’t built upon that and now find themselves as an also ran in the Big East. Their record of 5 and 6 straight-up and against the spread record of 4 and 6 makes them a play against almost every time they take the field. Stats wise both teams are very similar in terms of the offensive yardage they produce and the amount of points they score. The main difference is that Rutgers is 4 and 2 at home straight-up. That’s going to be the deciding factor.
Fair against the Spread Line: Rutgers – 6 ½
Fair BetUS Total: 51 ½
Fair Money Line Wager: Louisville + 250
Friday – – 12/05/2008
Ball State Cardinals vs. Buffalo Bulls
Analysis: The undefeated and number 15th ranked Ball State Cardinals travel to Buffalo to take on the Bulls in a game that might be way more competitive than online sports betting fans believe. The Bulls lead the MAC East with a record of 7 and 4 overall and 5 and 2 within the conference. Buffalo is no slouch. But they haven’t faced a team like Ball State that has just dominated their competition this season.
Their victory over Central Michigan two weeks ago was an absolute thing of beauty. Ball State could be looking at a New Year’s Day Bowl Game should they win this. Every single major stat says that Ball State obliterates the Bulls in this game, but college football isn’t played on paper. It’s played on the grid iron where the Buffalo Bulls have a punchers’ chance. BetUS online sportsbook football betting fans need to expect fair online odds. That’s the only way to make online profits in this game.
Fair against the Spread Line: Ball State – 14 ½
Fair BetUS Total: 66 ½
Fair Money Line Wager: Buffalo + 350
