College Football Handicapping – Early November Bye Week Schedule
Evaluating Teams And The Early November Bye Week Schedule
Here is the list of college football teams with bye weeks during the first two weeks of November, 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.
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. Note that in games played in the month of October, home teams off a bye went 17-17 ATS. Line adjustments have been made for these situations, and while not profitable in October, the month of November has historically proven to be more beneficial for home teams off a bye.
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 November 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.
