College Football Betting Lines for this weeks slate of NCAA Football can be seen below the article, or view the odds comparison tool from multiple sportsbooks on the College football lines page of Maddux Sports.

College Football betting can be a major money maker for sports bettors because of the fact that there are 120 Division IA teams as opposed to 32 NFL teams. Thus, there is a huge gap in talent from top to bottom. Also, the high volume of games each Saturday leaves bookmakers vulnerable to making a mistake with the college betting lines that the keen sports gambler can pounce on. But to be successful at wagering on college football, you must have an understanding of how the NCAA football betting lines work.

What's The Football Game

The rear rod (right) marks the 21-yard line and the forward rod marks the 11. The 'box' is behind the rear rod, to be visible to the press box across the field. In gridiron football, the chain crew (commonly known as the ' chain gang ') is a crew that manages signal poles on one of the sidelines. The 3-4 Defense The 3-4 defense has three defensive linemen and four linebackers. In this defense the D-line positions are: Nose Tackle (NT) - The nose tackle plays in the center of the defensive line. He is one of the biggest and strongest players on the team.

• The game is simple and it is fun to play. You can log in using a Facebook account.
• Football player positions on the offense: Offensive Line: The heart of the football offense is made up of the offensive line. The main job of the offensive line is to block for the quarterback and running backs. This sounds simple, but offensive linemen must be prepared for all sorts of stunts and tricks thrown at them from the defense.

College Football wagering is exactly the same as betting on the NFL in regards to using the College Football betting line to separate two teams that are playing one another. The one difference however is the tendency to see betting lines that are a lot higher in the NFL. Again this is due to the difference in the number of teams and the large discrepancy in the quality (talent gap) of those teams that results from that fact. Bookmakers and sportsbooks use college football betting lines to try and get even action on both teams. They anoint 1 team as the favorite and the other team as the underdog. For an example of a typical NCAA football betting line keep reading.

Lets say LSU and Alabama are squaring off and you hear LSU is favored by 4.5 points. What exactly does this mean? Well the bookmakers have said that LSU is 4.5 points than Alabama, and if you want to place a wager on the LSU Tigers, they must win the game by 5 points or more. Any other result would mean that Alabama covers the spread. As long as Alabama loses the game by less than 5 points or wins the game outright, all Crimson Tide bettors would be winners.
