College Football Pick'em Pool Picks: Week 4 (2025) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for ESPN Pick'em Contests

All of the members in the RotoBaller Reader's Group struggled last week. PAPIPEREZ led the way with just 38 points. Bullgator was second with 34. Only 10 of the 65 entries hit 30 points. At least I didn't struggle alone! There were some crazy upsets in Week 3. Pick-and-Morty is leading the group with 117 […]

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 […]

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.

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.

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.

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 […]

Week 1 College Football Overreactions: Arch Manning, Carson Beck, Kalen DeBoer, and more

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]
