In the realm of college football, we often seek to pinpoint betting trends that could offer an edge. What follows is an overview of significant trends, particularly as we approach Week 10.

Key Insights

Every week, the spotlight turns to various teams, and this time we take a closer look at Jonathan Smith’s Michigan State squad. Despite an unimpressive season, they have shown unexpected late-game prowess, covering the spread in four of their last five outings. Notable moments include a crucial last-minute field goal against Indiana, slicing the final margin down to 25—thus ensuring coverage of the spread. Similarly, backup quarterback Alessio Milivojevic’s late TD pass against Michigan tightened the game closer than expected.

This week, the Spartans face Minnesota, and while the odds aren’t overwhelmingly in their favor, dismissing them unwarrantedly due to previous late-game successes may not be wise.

Point Spread Reversals

The weekly trend analysis reveals teams that deviate from their recent spread results. This is a potential indicator of a shift in momentum. For instance, teams like Akron, Boston College, and Jacksonville State are noted for their recent spread reversals, suggesting possible turnaround opportunities.

Furthermore, while some teams struggle, such as Clemson following the absence of their star QB, hope for recovery remains as injuries heal.
