College Football Betting: Can Unbeaten Teams Go All the Way?

College Football Odds: Top 5 Games for Week 4

Written by on September 18, 2023

Don’t miss the College Football Odds for Week 4. For the first time since September 27, 2015, the Alabama Crimson Tide are no longer in the AP top ten in the college football poll. Their loss to Texas at home was concerning, but their offensive struggles against South Florida this past weekend has sounded even more alarm bells. For teams with a lesser reputation, that struggle of a win would have already dropped them out of the top 25. Next up for the Crimson Tide is a date with 13th-ranked Ole Miss. Colorado almost fell out of the ranks of the unbeaten thanks to a spirited showing from Colorado State, but Coach Prime’s Buffaloes were able to mount a fourth-quarter rivalry and stop the Rams in overtime. Going into Week 4, let’s look at five top college football betting picks.

 

College Football Odds and Analysis: Top 5 College Football Games for Week 4 | Bet College Football Betting Lines in Xbet Sportsbook

 

#4 Florida State Seminoles at Clemson Tigers

NCAAF Lines: #4 Florida State Seminoles (-1.5) at Clemson Tigers
When: Saturday, September 23, 2023, 12:00 pm ET
Where: Memorial Stadium (Clemson, SC), Clemson, SC
TV/Live Stream: ABC

Clemson? A home underdog? An unranked home underdog? If we look closer at the numbers, we see that Tigers quarterback Cade Klubnik has completed just 38.2% of his passes when under pressure. Florida State almost beat Clemson at home last year, rallying in the fourth quarter in a 34-28 setback. Clemson has won seven straight in this series, and the only reason to like the Tigers here is their pass defense, which has limited opposing quarterbacks to just a 52.1% completion rate overall. The Seminoles have a mighty pass rush, and the Tigers’ lack of creativity in the passing game has become a national news item. Seminoles to win and cover.

College Football Odds | #16 Oklahoma Sooners at Cincinnati Bearcats

NCAAF Lines: #16 Oklahoma Sooners (-14) at Cincinnati Bearcats
When: Saturday, September 23, 2023, 12:00 pm ET
Where: Nippert Stadium, Cincinnati, OH
TV/Live Stream: FOX

Cincinnati opens its Big 12 era with a visit from the Oklahoma Sooners. The Bearcats picked up an impressive win at Pitt in Week 2, but they followed up by laying an egg at home, losing to Miami (OH, not FL), 31-24, in overtime. The Bearcats do run the ball well, picking up 239.3 yards on the ground per game (8th among FBS schools) thanks to Corey Kliner and Emory Jones. The Sooners’ offense has Dillon Gabriel leading the way, and he is the second-ranked FBS quarterback in pass efficiency. I expect a better performance out of the Bearcats, but will it matter? Sooners to win and cover.

#13 Ole Miss Rebels at #15 Alabama Crimson Tide

NCAAF Lines: 13 Ole Miss Rebels (+6.5) at #15 Alabama Crimson Tide
When: Saturday, September 23, 2023, 3:30 pm ET
Where: Bryant-Denny Stadium, Tuscaloosa, AL
TV/Live Stream: CBS

Who will play quarterback for the Alabama Crimson Tide? Nick Saban still doesn’t know. The Ole Miss offense is cooking behind quarterback Jaxson Dart, who has posted a 202.5 efficiency rating. However, Alabama has not lost two straight home games in 16 years, and Ole Miss has a way of coughing up chances against the Tide. Tide to win and cover.

College Football Odds | #22 UCLA Bruins at #11 Utah Utes

NCAAF Lines: #22 UCLA Bruins (+4.5) at #11 Utah Utes
When: Saturday, September 23, 2023, 3:30 pm ET
Where: Rice-Eccles Stadium, Salt Lake City, UT
TV/Live Stream: FOX

UCLA stopped the Utes at home last year, 42-32, but that was with Dorian Thompson-Robinson running the offense. He has moved on to the Cleveland Browns, with freshman Dante Moore taking the reins. The Bruins also have a strong running game, but Utah is a much tougher team at home. Since 2019, the Utes are 23-1 straight up and 15-9 against the spread in Salt Lake City, and Nate Johnson is a promising freshman quarterback in his own right. Utes to win and cover.

#19 Colorado Buffaloes at #10 Oregon Ducks

NCAAF Lines: #19 Colorado Buffaloes (+20.5) at #10 Oregon Ducks
When: Saturday, September 23, 2023, 3:30 pm ET
Where: Autzen Stadium, Eugene, OR
TV/Live Stream: ABC

Two-way star Travis Hunter is out for three weeks, leaving the Buffaloes with a hole at receiver and defensive back, thanks to a dirty hit by Colorado State. The Colorado defense is still an issue, allowing five yards per rushing attempt – and allowing Colorado State to put up 35 points last week. Oregon is 7-1 straight up and against the spread at home under Dan Lanning, in his second season. I see the Ducks winning here, but this spread makes little sense given the offensive prowess that Colorado has shown. Buffs to cover.
