Hi Farm, here's a basic rule of thumb I follow when betting CFB (since you asked)... Never bet a team that just had a MAJOR victory and is on the road the following week (TCU, Mississippi st, Mississippi, Northwestern, Arizona). Also, I hate to bet against a team at home that appears to be on the upswing (Clemson). Finally, I hate to bet on bad/mediocre teams, it is a losing proposition in the long run!
BOL my friend and I hope you cash some tickets!
Good Luck Handicappers!
