College Football Pick'em Pool Picks: Week 3 (2025) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for ESPN Pick'em Contests

I missed on both my nine and 10-point picks last week, so I sank toward the bottom of the standings in the RotoBaller Reader's Group. We had two entries that got 47 points this week (Rakija Brown and Pick-and-Morty). Three more entries hit 45 points, so we have a little pack starting to separate at […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Saturday Evening Slate (9/13/25)

We are getting spoiled with these loaded primetime slates this season. I love it! Our seven games tonight have a lot of different storylines. Ohio State and Ohio.

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Saturday Main Slate (9/13/25)

We have another dozen games on the Saturday main slate on DraftKings. The noon window isn't quite as exciting this week, but there is still plenty of value to be had there.

College Football Picks Against the Spread: Expert Betting Predictions for Week 3 2025

I'm off to a pretty good start so far, going 51-42 in the first two weeks of the season. I've also amassed 28 betting points. Let's try to build on that in Week 3! We've got some good matchups once again. We have 64 total games today, which is a little lighter of a Saturday […]

Best College Football Upset Picks and Underdog Bets - Week 3 CFB Predictions (2025)

Week 2 reminded us all why college football is so great, as if we needed any reminding. Three ranked teams fell to unranked opponents, proving that upsets can still happen even in the NIL era. SMU fell to in-state opponent Baylor after losing a grip on a big lead late. Florida was stunned by USF, […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Friday Slate (9/12/25)

I don't know about you, but I enjoy having more college football games on Friday nights. Tonight, DraftKings gives us all five games being played on the slate.

As we move into Week 3 of the college football season, we start to see a clear workload for some players and how transfers are fitting into their new schemes. This week, we have a nice main slate featuring some good matchups and likely very few true blowouts. We can continue to look to attach […]

Top 10 College Football Quarterback Rankings for 2025: Week 3 Updates

2025 is a difficult season to write rankings of quarterbacks in college. There is no Caleb Williams, there is no Joe Burrow or Trevor Lawrence, and the players everyone expected to shine have instead fallen flat. Despite saying this, there are still good quarterbacks, and we are told people love rankings. So, here we go […]

Week 2 College Football Risers and Fallers: Billy Napier, John Mateer, Jeff Lebby, Clemson, and more

We're already two weeks into the college football season (three if you count Week 0), and we can start to form opinions about a few programs that have impressed or disappointed thus far. Obviously, it's a long season, and the 12-team College Football Playoff format gives programs extra lives, but some results carry more weight […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Late Saturday Slate (9/6/25)

I love these late slates, especially early in the season. We see some very interesting matchups on these slates at this time of year. Who's burning the midnight oil with me? These are some of the easiest slates to make money! Don't quit on me now! We do have one FCS school on here, but […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Saturday Evening Slate (9/6/25)

The "main" slate feels like the undercard today. The evening slate on DraftKings is loaded tonight! We are tipping the scales with nine games. A couple of these will be blowouts, but we have some nice ones on here as well, such as Michigan-Oklahoma, UNLV-UCLA, and Arizona State-Mississippi State. We have some teams that don't […]

College Football Picks Against the Spread: Expert Betting Predictions for Week 2

It was a fun time in Week 1. We let the NFL have Thursday this week, which means a huge Saturday for real football. There are 79 games on Saturday, but only 48 of those are FBS vs. FBS games. Most of the games between FCS and FBS schools aren't even on the major sportsbooks. […]

Best College Football Upset Picks and Underdog Bets - Week 2 CFB Predictions (2025)

If you missed my upset watch column last week, you were probably shocked when Florida State walked over Alabama start-to-finish in Tallahassee last weekend. Then again, if you did read my column last week, you were definitely underwhelmed with Northwestern’s showing in New Orleans. It turns out I was wrong on Preston Stone elevating the […]

College Football Pick'em Pool Picks: Week 2 (2025) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for ESPN Pick'em Contests

We have a good turnout this year with 65 entries in the RotoBaller Reader's Group. All but two entries got at least half of the picks right, which is why we do the confidence version. Three entries (PAPI PEREZ, WeagleweagleWDE, and chrismiller19) led the way this week with 48 points. That's not bad out of […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Saturday Main Slate (9/6/25)

We have another dozen games on the Saturday main slate on DraftKings.

The NFL is taking over Thursday night this week, so we have a Friday slate instead. This isn't your normal small slate. We have at least one good game on there.

College Football Picks Against the Spread: Expert Betting Predictions for Friday, September 5 (Week 2)

The opening week of the 2025 college football campaign is in the books, and as always, it's time for fans and talking heads to overreact to the Week 1 action. We saw several big-time matchups in Week 1, so there were going to be strong takeaways from the first slate of games, no matter what […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Late Saturday Slate (8/30/25)

I love these late slates, especially early in the season. We see some very interesting matchups on these slates at this time of year. It makes me nostalgic for the old Pac-12 after dark. It will kind of be back next year, but it will never be the same. Who's burning the midnight oil with […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Saturday Evening Slate (8/30/25)

We're not done yet! There are a lot of good games in prime time as well. LSU and Clemson highlight this slate, but we have some other high-powered offenses in action.

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Saturday Main Slate (8/30/25)

We have a dozen games on the Saturday main slate on DraftKings, and boy, do we have some monsters!

Add in the Misery Bowl between Temple and UMass to go with an […]

10 College Football Bold Predictions for 2025: LSU, Baylor, Georgia Tech, Nebraska, UTSA, UTEP, more

Farmageddon just passed. We waited for that moment through eight long months of baseball (even though it was my first love), flopping, more flopping, the NCAA Tournament, the WNBA season, and two months of NBA playoffs. It's refreshing to get back to the best sport of all.  I do make some bold(ish) predictions from time […]
