Early Week 10 college football bets to make
20 best bets gathered from respected handicappers, plus info from sportsbooks
Week 10 of the college football season has arrived and there are several terrific matchups, headlined by No. 4 Ohio State (-3.5, 45.5) at No. 3 Penn State in a Big Ten showdown. The betting public also can’t get enough of the 8-0 Indiana Hoosiers, a team that has covered seven of its eight games. Nearly 90% of the bets at several sportsbooks are on Indiana to cover the 7.5-point spread at Michigan State on Saturday.
I’ll have much more info from bookmakers and best bets in my full college football report later this week, but you’ve asked for best bets earlier in the week so I’m trying my best to oblige. I’ve gathered 20 best bets on the weekend’s CFB games from some respected handicappers to hold you over today. I’ll also keep adding sharp plays from my conversations with bookmakers throughout the week in the paid chat below.
