College Football Handicapping – Late October Bye Week Schedule
Evaluating Teams And The Late October Bye Week Schedule
Here is the list of college football teams with bye weeks during the last two weeks of October, along with their opponents before and after the bye week. In college football, this is a real benefit to the rested and prepared team and especially playing at home, so review the schedule and the post-bye situational system that is usually quite strong.
In last week’s article, I listed the teams with bye week’s October 4 and 11. Note that on October 11, home teams that had a bye the week prior went 6-2 ATS.
This is another piece to add to your handicapping arsenal, but know that you still must evaluate the motivation, match-ups, injuries, statistical profiles and betting lines before you blindly bet on these rested teams off a bye.
Last Saturday we used this bye week situation along with added line value and solid situational and fundamental handicapping to isolate the Washington Huskies as our 20* Top Play winner as they crushed Cal and rolled over the Golden Bears 31-7 as a 3′-point road underdog.
If you don’t have the time, energy or ability to consistently produce point spread winners, then let my extensive research, ability and proven profit-producing experience be your reward and become a member for October and beyond as we shoot for more birdies and green on the gridiron. Use the tools I provide in these and other articles as a guide to more winners, and earn while you learn and profit from my experience and well-rounded game.
