Early Week 8 college football best bets to make
20 best bets gathered from respected handicappers, plus info from sportsbooks
Week 8 of the college football season is here and we have another grouping of terrific matchups, including No. 7 Alabama (-3, 56.5) at No. 11 Tennessee, No. 24 Michigan (-3, 43.5) at No. 22 Illinois and No. 5 Georgia at No. 1 Texas (-4, 56). Georgia has been favored in 49 straight games, the longest streak in the nation, but that it looks like that impressive streak will come to an end on Saturday.
I’ll have much more info from bookmakers and best bets in my full college football report later in the week, but you’ve asked for best bets earlier in the week so I’m trying to oblige. I’ve gathered 20 best bets on the weekend’s CFB games from some respected handicappers to hold you over today.
