One weekend is all it took to have the college football national championship futures odds fluctuating as much as the stock market. Top 10 teams USC, Florida, Georgia and Wisconsin all fell two weeks ago–as did South Florida this past week–and all these teams saw their odds to take home the biggest prize in college football skyrocket. The biggest winners of the latest chaotic weekends have been Oklahoma and Alabama, which sit No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, atop the AP Top 25 poll.
A 4-1 SU record might not warrant a “struggling” tag, but the Florida Gators have been nothing short of disappointing this season. A stunning loss to Mississippi still leaps out when you look at Florida, and they’ve otherwise played horrific teams. Going 3-2 ATS this season has helped affirm the belief that the Gators are still a good bet, but LSU has been playing too well this season for the Gators to take them lightly.
This game will prove to be everything that the USC-OSU letdown wasn’t. Both teams are itching to prove themselves, despite some defensive lapses. The Sooners are the best team in the country, and Sam Bradford is out to prove that he is Heisman worthy. The one thing standing in their way is Texas’s Colt McCoy and his road warrior Longhorns.
What characterized the Detroit Lions of 2007? A team that started 6-2 and had postseason visions, only to collapse and miss the playoffs. It was a team in a total tailspin the second half of the season. They couldn’t win (1-7) or cover games (1-7 ATS). Teams can feel helpless when the wheels fall off or they suffer a crushing defeat. It takes a good coaching staff to get a team to focus and prepare itself mentally the following week.
With the football season in full swing, now is the best time to examine some betting trends and teams headed in the right and wrong directions.
Football betting trends
College teams coming off three consecutive covers are 5-8-1 ATS in their next outing.
College teams off a home underdog win are 4-10 ATS in their next game.
NFL teams are 4-8 ATS flying two or more time zones away from home.
NFL home dogs are 7-14 against the spread.
NFL teams that are favored by three or less points are 20-10-1 ATS thus far.
The Minnesota Vikings (1-3, 1-3 ATS) look to get their season on track when they meet the New Orleans Saints (2-2, 3-1 ATS) at the Superdome on Monday night. Oddsmakers have the Vikes as 3-point road underdogs on the NFL betting board, with the total currently listed at 46.5.
What the heck is going on? The Tennessee Titans are a perfect 4-0 straight up and against the spread?

Auburn has one glaring loss to LSU, albeit a tight one, on their otherwise strong SU record. Against the spread, they are still 1-4 ATS on the season because of their inability to drive up the point differential against their opponents. A win against Vanderbilt will not only push them well in to the top-10, it will stop these wild Vanderbilt train dead in its tracks.
The injuries in the AFC have started to pile up to the point that before making any wagers on some of the stalwarts in the AFC, the San Diego Chargers for example, online betting fans had better take a look at that injury report.
Five points! The Houston Texans only need to stay within five points of the Tennessee Titans and I would’ve hit paydirt for the third week in a row.
The Patriots, Colts and Giants highlight the teams on a bye this week. Heading in to the Week 4 betting odds and lines, too many teams have too many questions for their betting faithful. We have some great games on the board, so let’s blitz through them and see who you should be taking, and which spread donkeys you need to steer clear of.
