One of the most important handicapping processes of the college football season is not only projecting where teams are going but also looking at where they’ve been.
Some bettors who create their own numbers will go back and regrade performances based on teams’ current trend lines. For example, Washington State’s win over Wisconsin in Week 2 doesn’t look quite as impressive now as it did back then.
The lines are even blurrier now with so much parity across college football, but it’s important to look back, while also looking forward.
This week, I talked with professional bettors Brad Powers (BradPowersSports.com; @BradPowers7) and Kyle Hunter (HunterSportsPicks.com; @KyleHunterPicks), as well as BettingPros CFB/NFL analyst Thor Nystrom (@thorku), about Week 8 and more.
