There is a maximum of 16 pro games a week, and each game is so thoroughly analyzed that there's little chance to find an angle that the line setters have not seen. However, on any given Saturday, there are approximately 50 collegiate games for bookmakers to track. That equals 100 teams each with their own injury report, suspensions, personal college drama (upcoming exams, breaking up with their girlfriends, frat parties, etc.) that bookmakers have to search while they're simultaneously taking bets and setting spreads and money lines for MLB and the NFL.
Some college betting tips include:
- With nonconference games, relative conference strength matters. For example, Pac-10 teams are typically rated stronger than the Big Ten
- As the conference season begins and as teams play common foes each week, the bookmakers become more familiar to rate the games.
- When longtime assistants in a new head coaching position go against teams that they know, that's not usually reflected in the spread.
