College football picks – Who is underrated?

College football picks – Who is underrated?

When it comes to making college football picks, people who are successful usually find their success as a result of efficient value spotting. You must be willing to go against the grain and bet on those teams that might be down on their luck a bit. Point spreads are just indications of a team’s stock. You don’t want to buy high on a team and pay an overinflated line just because they are at their peak. Occasionally, a team will fly under the radar and your college football picks need to be on them in order to find success.

So what kind of teams demand your attention when making those college football picks? Look to teams that are returning a lot of important, but not flashy players. Everyone knows when a team is returning running backs or a big time quarterback. Few people will know that they are returning their entire offensive line, though. This is arguably more important and it remains a factor that the betting public is just not giving justice to. When you make college football picks, try to exploit those teams that are returning the ugly, great players that the betting public hasn’t taken the time to learn about.

2010 Underrated College Football Picks

2010 Underrated College Football Picks

Teams that might be underrated in 2010

A huge part of being successful with college football picks is being able to spot value early in the year. Figure out which teams are better or worse than their public perception and exploit it before the rest of the betting world figures it out. So who are these teams likely to be in 2010?

Think long and hard about Oklahoma as you enter college football picks in 2010. The Sooners had a down year by their standards, but this is still an elite program. They return an underrated, yet suddenly experience quarterback. The coaching staff is solid and there’s a huge pipeline of talent. They could challenge Texas for the Big 12 crown in 2010, so look out for nice value spots early in the year.

With Mike Leach gone, some might think that Texas Tech will fall off next year. Though that might be the case, I wouldn’t sleep on Tommy Tuberville just yet. A capable coach and solid motivator, Tuberville figures to have his boys playing good defense if nothing else. You might get a nice opportunity to make college football picks on the Red Raiders while some betters will push their value down.
