What to check before kickoff

  1. Quarterbacks and injuries. College injury news is less formal than the NFL’s, so check team reports close to kickoff.
  2. Weather. Wind and rain affect totals most.
  3. Margins. College games are often decided by more than a touchdown; see our college football key numbers guide.
  4. Rivalry narratives. Records are already in the price; our rivalry games guide explains why.
  5. Prices across books. Compare on the odds comparison, then compare your price with the close.
