Not only is it Contest Week, but It’s also Week 0 for college football with five games on Saturday.
Steve Makinen has updated his College Football Betting Splits Systems for the upcoming season.
One key concept that readers need to consider when utilizing the systems: not all of them rely on fading the public majorities. Some of them are actually built on the premise of getting behind the masses, as evidenced by some of these angles, which prove that there are spots in which the public has thrived with college football.
For example, majority handle bettors are winners when betting huge home favorites (27.5 points or more) at 60-40 ATS (60%) over the last three seasons.
