2007 College Football Futures

  • Wisconsin Badgers Over 9.5 wins (+100) (0.5 Units)
  • The Badgers only lost one game last season, to Michigan, but they benefitted from not having to play Ohio State. Wisconsin gets both teams this year, playing Michigan at home and Ohio State on the road on back to back weeks in November.
  • Losing a game early will force them to beat one of these two teams, but should the Wolverines come into Madison and find Wisconsin undefeated, this bet will be a winner.
  • Oregon Ducks Over 7 wins (-110) (0.5 Units)
  • Oregon has tough games @Michigan, Cal at home, USC at home, @UCLA and Oregon St at home. With 3 of the 5 remaining games in Eugene, I have a hard time imagining the Ducks going 0 for 5. Even if they drop a game on the road somewhere along the way, 2 out of 5 is still reasonable and that is just for a push.
  • Virginia Tech Under 10 wins (-125) (0.5 Units)
  • The great thing about this bet is that you're betting against a team that travels to Baton Rouge in Week 2 and will be about a 3 to 1 favorite to go home a loser. Only one more loss against North Carolina, Clemson, Florida St, Miami or Virginia will make this bet a push. Should they decide to lose twice, you win. There is no way this would be a bet without the early game against LSU.
