2024 College Football and NFL odds present an intriguing landscape for bettors this weekend. Good week, bad week. Good week, bad week.
Back and forth they go.
Last weekend’s balance sheet was disappointing, largely due to UNLV and Wisconsin faltering in the fourth quarter. Losing as an underdog in such a manner is frustrating for any bettor.
This weekend features three college football matchups and three NFL games that are worth considering.
This analysis won’t flood readers with countless picks or five-team parlays. Instead, it focuses on the games that stand out the most.
Let’s get started.
2024 Record: (19-20, -2.9 units)
Louisville @ No. 11 Clemson (-10.5, O/U 62)
Clemson has been overpowering weaker opponents recently, but they will face a Louisville offense that is capable of quick scoring. The line indicates a high-scoring affair, and Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough may exploit Clemson’s vulnerable secondary. The Tigers are eyeing an ACC Championship, yet they must remain wary of Jeff Brohm’s determined team.
Duke @ No. 5 Miami (-20, O/U 54.5)
No. 13 Indiana (-7.5, O/U 53) @ Michigan State
Chicago Bears @ Arizona Cardinals (-1, O/U 44.5)
An interesting fact is that Bears head coach Matt Eberflus has yet to win a Sunday road game. This statistic is both amusing and concerning. While such trivia may not be a decisive factor for betting, it certainly adds context. Arizona has faced tough competition this season, losing to playoff-caliber teams like the Bills, Commanders, Lions, and a strong Packers squad. The coaching advantage lies with Arizona, while Chicago’s offensive line remains a concern.
