As we advance into Week 4 of college football, notable games are on the horizon, shaping the National Championship betting landscape. A highlighted matchup will see the Oregon Ducks visit Penn State Nittany Lions on September 27.

Best Bets

• Penn State Nittany Lions (+650)
  I placed a bet on Penn State at +750 early in the season, believing it to be the best rate we’d observe for them. Their odds have decreased to +650, yet I still view them as a worthy investment. If Penn State secures a win over Oregon, their odds could drop to around +450. Conversely, although Oregon’s odds are also +650, it would be wise to hold off on betting until after their showdown with Penn State.

• Miami Hurricanes (+1700)
  At the start of the season, I backed Miami as my favorite longshot at +4100. Their odds have substantially reduced, but I still find value at +1700. Miami flashed their elite offensive and defensive lines against Notre Dame in the opener, evidencing their potential.

Value Play

• Notre Dame Fighting Irish (+3000)
  Despite currently being 0-2, their losses were close games against top-10 teams. If Notre Dame can secure consecutive wins, they could reach the College Football Playoff, thus making this bet appealing.

Team to Avoid

• Georgia Bulldogs (+700)
  Despite recent victories, there are growing concerns regarding Georgia’s defense, especially after conceding an alarming number of points recently. New matches against quality teams like Alabama may complicate their chances for a solid title run.
