Colorado-CSU and Kentucky-Louisville Betting Advice

Sports Betting at the Sportsbook

With the short card, the staff of OffshoreInsiders.com will combine the betting primer with the computer trends. All trends are against the spread unless over/under noted.

Colorado-Colorado State

Notes: It’s appropriate that both teams are 0-0 because this may be the proverbial “throw out the records” series. The Buffalos have won 4-of-6 but all six were decided by a touchdown or less and a combined 25 points. Five have been by five or less.

CSU quarterback Billy Farris makes his first start. He has thrown just 39 passes, but look for a lot of running says Cy McCormick of MasterLockLine.com because he is supported by one of the deepest backfields in the nation.

Against the spread trends:

Kentucky-Louisville

Notes: Both teams have a ton of question marks. Louisville will be without WR Trent Guy who was shot. Another WR JaJaun Spillman and CB Rod Council have been kicked off the team.

Against the spread trends: Kentucky is 4-0-1 outside the conference. Louisville is 21-8 outside the conference, but 1-4 their last five on grass overall. The home team has covered four straight in the series.

College Football Halftime Pointspread

How excited am I? It’s the first full weekend of regular season football. I bought a few new televisions for my home office. Ironically, while I wish watch dozens of games this weekend, perhaps off all the football scoring updates I’m most excited about is Division II as I will watch in minutes, my alma mater, the California University of Pennsylvania Vulcans put a hurting on the West Chester cheesesteaks.

I have the satellite radio ready as well, but I’ll wait until after the Cal Vulcans game. Don’t forget most sportsbooks have NCAA football halftime betting lines to enhance the winning sports picks you got at OffshoreInsiders.com
