Week 3 was our best week to date, going 8-3 with two of the three losses coming from a dead Nebraska team. It wasn’t the best slate of games for Week 3, and quite frankly, the Week 4 college football schedule isn’t promising either. With that said, there are still opportunities to place some sports bets courtesy of BetUS. Let’s look at some plays for the Week 4 college football slate.

A money making trend to kick off the season: pick the heavy favorites. The Week 4 college football schedule has six matchups of this caliber as of this writing:
Kent State (1-2) vs. #1 Georgia (3-0) (Georgia -45.5; O/U 61.5)
Georgia -45.5 (-110)
Kent State is 1-5 ATS against ranked opponents and 7-13 as away underdogs under head coach Sean Lewis. Kent State is 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games. They covered against Oklahoma in Week 2; Oklahoma didn’t score for the first 29-plus minutes and still almost covered the 34-point spread. Georgia is averaging 7.9 yards per play; the Georgia defense has allowed 10 points in 12 quarters of play this year. I’m waiting on the Kent State team total to come out, and I’ll probably take that under as well.
Vanderbilt (3-1) vs. #2 Alabama (3-0) (Alabama -40; O/U 58)
Alabama -40 (-110)
Nick Saban took over the Alabama program in 2007. In the last two Alabama games against Vanderbilt, the Commodores have not scored a point, defeating them 34-0 in 2011 and 59-0 in 2017. Alabama is 3-0 ATS with Saban against Vanderbilt. Under Clark Lea, the Commodores are 1-3 ATS against ranked opponents and 0-4 after a win. Roll Tide.
The others include NC State -39 at home against UCONN, Mississippi State -31 at home against Bowling Green, Western Kentucky -31.5 at home against Florida International, and LSU -31.5 at home against New Mexico. While they hit the trend, they will not be on my Week 4 college football card.
Maryland (3-0) vs. #4 Michigan (3-0) (Michigan -17; O/U 64.5)
Michigan -17 (-120)
Historically, Maryland is a great team to take non-conference and a great team to fade in conference under Mike Locksley. The Terrapins are 8-2 ATS under Locksley in their non-conference; they are 6-17 ATS (26.1%) in conference and 1-10 (9.1%) against ranked opponents. Since the start of 2021, Michigan is 8-2 ATS in conference and 7-2 ATS as home favorites; Maryland is 1-8 ATS in conference and 2-6 as an underdog. Michigan has had a cupcake non-conference schedule to start the season, but that puts them in a great spot to strut their stuff against an in-conference opponent. I’m backing the Wolverines in this Week 4 college football Big Ten matchup.
#15 Oregon (2-1) vs. Washington State (3-0) (Oregon -7; O/U 57.5)
Washington State +7 (-115)
In away/neutral site games, Bo Nix is 7-10 SU in his career. He has 16 touchdowns and interceptions, and a completion percentage of just 55.6; at home, Nix has 30 touchdowns to two interceptions and a 64.9 completion percentage. Not to mention they are coming off a dominate home win against then #12 BYU. This feels like a letdown spot for the Ducks against a Washington State team that already went into Madison and knocked off a ranked Badgers team. I’m taking the home underdog in this Week 4 college football PAC12 matchup.
Miami (OH) (1-2) vs. Northwestern (1-2) (Northwestern -7.5; O/U 50
Miami (OH) +7.5 (-110)
Confession time: I don’t understand this line. Yes, Miami of Ohio is without Brett Gabbert at quarterback. His replacement, Aveon Smith, wasn’t too crisp against Cincinnati last week, but it was his first start against a FBS school. Northwestern’s only win this season came in Week 0 on foreign soil against a Nebraska team that is missing a pulse. Heck, they even lost to Southern Illinois last week at home. Since 2017, Northwestern is 5-11-1 ATS in non-conference games (31.3%). As an underdog, Miami of Ohio is 36-21-1 (61%) under Chuck Martin. Miami is live to win this game outright, and you’re getting a hook with a football number. Back the Redhawks.
Kansas State (2-1) vs. #6 Oklahoma (3-0) (Oklahoma -13; O/U 53)
Over 53 (-110)
The over is 7-2-1 in this matchups last 10 games and has hit in each of Chris Klieman’s first three years at Kansas State. The last time a total failed to clear 60 points was in 2016, and the last time it was under this number was 2012. Oklahoma has a top-20 passing offense and scoring offense. Kansas State’s offense laid an egg against Tulane last week, scoring just 10 points at home. I’m expecting a better offensive performance from the Wildcats in Week 4 against the Sooners.
