SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18
(6) Florida (2-0) vs. Tennessee (1-1)
The Florida Gators usually bounce back if their defense struggles the week prior. They’re 7-1 against the spread over their last eight games after allowing more than 200 rushing yards the previous game. But Tennessee is 5-1 ATS after throwing for less than 170 yards the previous game. Maybe the under is the safe betting play here; it’s 4-1 in the last five meetings.
(8) Nebraska (2-0) vs. Washington (1-1)
The Nebraska Cornhuskers are a national title contender but sometimes they slip up after blowout wins; they’re 21-44-2 ATS over their last 67 games following a straight-up win of more than 20 points. Jake Locker and the Washington Huskies usually cover the spread at home; they’re 5-1 ATS over their last six there.
(24) Brigham Young (1-1) vs. (18) Florida State (1-1)
Do the BYU Cougars have the edge against the spread here? Many a bettor thinks so if the trends are right. The Cougars are 8-2 ATS over their last 10 following a straight-up loss whereas Florida State is 1-6 ATS in its last seven at home.
Clemson (2-0) vs. (20) Auburn (2-0)
Is Auburn a team to avoid at your sportsbook this week? It’s 3-7 ATS over its last 10 games overall and 2-5 over its last seven at home. Clemson sometimes struggles against the SEC, going 2-6 over its last eight against that conference, but it won big last week and is 4-1 ATS over its last five after winning straight up by 20 or more points the previous game.
(11) Iowa vs. (23) Arizona (2-0)
This weekend’s college football predictions sees Iowa was expected to be a BCS contender this season, but Arizona has defied expectations. Can the Wildcats make a major statement at home this week? They’re 5-1 ATS over their last six at home. However, the Hawkeyes never go down easily in tough away games. They’re 10-1 ATS in their last 11 road games against teams with winning home records. The UNDER seems like a hot sports betting trend in this matchup. It’s 4-1-1 in Iowa’s last six following a straight-up win and 5-1 in Arizona’s last six following a straight-up win.
