2024 CFB Predictions/Gambling Thread

[Buffnik]

Figured I should kick this off since people have started placing futures bets.

I put a little action on CU to make the playoffs and smaller action on our Buffs to win the natty.

Trying to decide how heavy to bet the Over on 5.5 wins. There must be a ton of action that way because it's set at -145. So not a great payout for something that wouldn't cash until December. But it feels like free money.

 

[96 Buff]

**** you.

 

[Leon Sandcastle]

Took CU @ +2900 to win the Big 12

 

[Highlander]

I’ve made a ton early season bets. Besides betting the farm on CU over 5.5 wins @ -115, I‘ve also taken:

• CU +3500 to win the Big 12
• CU +1400 to make the playoff
• CU -8 against NDSU
• CU +6.5 against Nebraska
• Nebraska under 7.5 wins
• Arizona under 8 wins

 

[CarolinaBuff]

I got in with CU at +4000 to win the Big 12. Haven't made any other season long bets yet but will certainly be betting quite a bit on weekly spreads

 

[Emmanuel Goldstein]

I took CU -8.5 and UTEP +27.5 to start the season at +256

 

[Buff_since76]

I put $25 on CU to beat Knebraska by 14 or more at +700

 

[Highlander]

Draftkings has CU rushing o/u for the season at 832 and sacks at 28. I may take the over on rushing and the under on sacks.

89% of the betting for the NDSU game has been for CU.

800?!?!? That is crazy, we had 827 last year with 52 sacks. Easy money.

How do you find those bets? I went to Colorado futures and I don’t see them.

 

[Highlander]

How do you find those bets? I went to Colorado futures and I don’t see them.

On the Colorado page, flip from "Team Odds" to "Stats". I was wrong on those being bets. It is last year's stats and not well kept.

 

[241Volcanos]

Can Clemson hang with UGA? 13.5

Found over 6.5 wins at +185 on DraftKings Alt Win Totals.

Anyone have a surprise team they are looking at for win o/u?

 

[FLounder]

Anyone have a surprise team they are looking at for win o/u?

I think Oklahoma NCst Syracuse all surprise

My ultimate sleeper is Mike Mac getting FIU to believe in something this year.

 

[CarolinaBuff]

I think Oklahoma NCst Syracuse all surprise

My ultimate sleeper is Mike Mac getting FIU to believe in something this year.

Syracuse is a good one and I'd add Rutgers. One thing to pay close attention to is with these larger conferences some teams can end up with favorable schedules.

I think Oklahoma State, Tennessee, VT and SMU are also good bets, in that order

 

[CarolinaBuff]

OK let's hear those CFP predictions! The discussion surrounding the selections for the at-large teams is gonna be so much fun and there's gonna be far more controversy and debate than we saw with the 4-team playoff.

Top 4 seeds:
-----------------
B1G: tOSU
SEC: Alabama
ACC: Clemson
Big 12: Oklahoma State

G5 qualifier: Boise

At large teams:
--------------------
Texas
Georgia
Tennessee
Penn State
Oregon
Miami
Notre Dame

 

[FLounder]

I have a few playoff parlays.

Make personal favorites are:

Colorado (big 12)
Ohio State (B1G)
Florida state (at large)
Syracuse (ACC)
OSU/WSU(pac-2 winner)

+4,427,000 (for Oregon state parlay)
+8,654,000 (for Washington state)

$10 pays $400k and $800k

 

[Bread]

Conference champs in no particular order:
Utah
tOSU
Ole Miss
Miami

At large in no particular order:
Alabama
Texas
Georgia
Oregon
Notre Dame (**** off)
CU
Liberty (as 5th highest conference champion)
FSU

At large/Champs playing in the first round
Penn State
Alabama
Texas
Oklahoma State
Ole Miss
Michigan
Liberty (5th conference champ)

CU: 8-4 with a Sun Bowl type W.

Win total bets
Small on AFA over-I think they get to 8 wins, and most books have them at 6.5/7.
CU over 5.5-If the OL gives up 25-30 sacks instead of the 50+ we saw last year, this team wins 8 games.
Nubs under 7-hit their under like several years in a row. I see no reason not to try again in 2024.
Oregon under 10.5-feels too high to me. They play OSU at home mid-October and then have to make trips to Michigan and Wisconsin back to back weeks in late November.

Houston under 4.5.

I see the stats. Were you able to be on them? I can’t.

A couple posts later, I realized that was just info from last year. Sorry about that!

Houston under 4.5.

They'll be lucky to hit 3-9. That's a great bet.
