The points were flying around this week as even Cleveland scored 20. Nine games went over the total while five stayed under. It wasn’t all about offense as a number of points were scored on turnovers and special teams.
Here is a brief recap of all the games.

Saturday, October 3rd – Notre Dame Stadium – 3:30 PM ET
NCAA Football Line: ND -12.5, O/U: 55
Washington: The Week That Was
If the Huskies were flying high after their stunning upset of USC, they were brought back to earth this past weekend at Stanford. Washington got clobbered by the Cardinal, 34-14, as Steve Sarkisian’s club surrendered 321 rushing yards, 200 of them to Stanford running back Toby Gerhart. Despite allowing only seven completed passes, Washington’s defense was repeatedly gashed on the ground, a sign that UW’s defensive front needs to get stronger.
UCLA Bruins (3-0 SU, 3-0 ATS) at Stanford Cardinal (3-1 SU, 3-1 ATS)
Saturday, October 3: 3:30 p.m.
BetUS.com Football Betting Odds: Stanford -5, Total Points: 45
Here are some of the NCAAF betting trends as they relate to this matchup:
UCLA: 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games
#8 Oklahoma Sooners at #17 Miami Hurricanes
Saturday October 3 – Land Shark Stadium – 8:00 PM ET
NCAA Football Line: Oklahoma -7.5, O/U: 49
Oklahoma: The Week That Was
Since losing quarterback Sam Bradford in the season opener and a shocking 14-13 loss to BYU, the Sonners defense has recorded back-to-back shutouts and impressive victories. Bob Stoops hopes to have Bradford back this week as the quarterback is back at practice and competing in most of the drills. Without their Heisman Trophy winner Oklahoma still rolled Tulsa 45-0 as 18 point favorites last time out. The Sooners are coming off of a bye week.
Michigan Wolverines @ Michigan State Spartans
Saturday October 3 – Spartan Stadium – 12:00 PM ET
Line: Michigan State – 2.5, O/U: 57
Michigan: The Week That Was
The Michigan Wolverines are 4-0 for the first time since 2006 after pulling out a dramatic 36-33 victory at the big house against Indiana. Unfortunately, as 20-point home favorites winning by three is not that impressive and that is probably why the Wolverines are underdogs in their first road test of the season.
Virginia Cavaliers (0-3 SU, 1-1 ATS) at North Carolina Tar Heels (3-1 SU, 1-2 ATS)
Saturday, October 3 – Noon ET
BetUS NCAA Football Betting Odds: NORTH CAROLINA -13, Total 42
Here are some of the college football betting trends as they relate to this matchup:
VA has lost its last seven games SU
VA has lost five of its last six road games SU
I will make an effort to give my sports betting advice or a quick over view of the games you want to know about. The Top 25 match ups each week is where most of the eyes turn. Last week I went 4-2 on premium plays last Saturday making me 8-3 the last two Saturday’s. Unfortunately the two losses we took were our two highest plays as we are now 4-2 on the year for NCAAF POD’s! We still took a profit on the day and are back for this weekend with some of the biggest plays of the year!
This weekend there will be just three Top 25 match ups between ranked foes including our game of the week with a Miami team facing Oklahoma.
There’s a reason they play the games. Teams don’t always play the way stats and power rankings suggest they are supposed to. That’s often evident early in the pro and college football seasons because some teams are very different from year to year. Look at a team like Michigan. The Wolverines stumbled badly last year with a very young team and a new coach bringing in a whole new offensive philosophy.
Hawaii: 2-1 SU, 2-0 ATS
Louisiana Tech: 1-2 SU, 1-2 ATS
Line: Oddsmakers currently have the Bulldogs listed as 5½-point favorites
A glimpse at Hawaii
Hawaii this season has been all about passing! QB Greg Alexander leads the nation in passing yards and passing efficiency.

Not many people believed that the Miami Hurricanes were as good as their record indicated. Nobody that is except, well, Miami Hurricane fans. As often is the case in college football betting, the gamblers were right, for the most part, when the Miami Hurricanes finally came down to earth this past Saturday. They were thumped by the more talented Virginia Tech Hokies.
