With a number of Power Five win totals being released across the market, the next step in college football preseason activity is Game of the Year.
This is a bet on a single game, not just in Week 1, but throughout the entire season. Whether wagers ultimately win or lose, the goal is to identify teams that have an inflated perception with more than three months until kickoff.
A Game of the Year investment gives us the chance to get ahead of public perception that's built during spring practice.
While win totals and futures have trickier opportunities for hedges, a single point spread bet this early in the season will give any gambler an opportunity to build a window.
