Here at Cappers Info, we are taking a weekly look at the teams that could be ones ripe to pull off some major upsets! Check out the potentially ugly dogs that could come up and bite you in the butt in you aren't careful for the Week 4 of college football betting action!

SMU Mustangs (+700 at Diamond Sportsbook) vs. TCU Horned Frogs, Friday 8:00 ET: It's not often that we think that a team that is a 17.5 point underdog can reasonably win a game outright, but SMU really has a chance in this one. The passing assault with QB Kyle Padron is good enough to lead the Mustangs to victory over almost any team in the country, anywhere. The key though is that this one is going to be played at home, not on the road, and we've already seen just how dangerous the 'Stangs can be there when they nearly toppled Texas Tech the day before Labor Day. TCU is good… In fact, TCU is great. However, the Horned Frogs are walking into what might be a very, very dangerous trap this week. HC Gary Patterson knows that there are some strong competitors waiting to make names for themselves and the HC June Jones on the other sideline is a natural at pulling off upsets like this to ruin a team's season.

Arkansas Razorbacks (+230 at Diamond Sportsbook) vs. Alabama Crimson Tide, Saturday, 3:30 ET: Sure, we realize that everyone and their brother is calling this upset and that picking against the No. 1 team in the land, a team that hasn't lost a game since the 2009 Sugar Bowl probably isn't all that wise, but we are going to go there anyway. QB Ryan Mallett has a chance not just to become the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy, but we think he can legitimately win it going away with a big performance this weekend. And why not? This is the first legitimate test to an Alabama defense which has lost ten of its 11 starters from a year ago and will be tested for the first time against some big time competition. We know that HC Nick Saban isn't one to worry about the road ahead, but if we're members of the Crimson Tide, we're sitting there wondering how we're going to get through a schedule ahead that features games against Arkansas, Florida, Tennessee, and South Carolina. Just getting through the first of the four games is going to be a major, major hassle.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish (+170 at Diamond Sportsbook) vs. Stanford Cardinal, Saturday, 3:30 ET: We're continuing with the theme of the home dogs in this one. We've discussed time and time again and prospects of perception in NCAA football betting. The perception on Notre Dame isn't great. The Irish are just 1-2 this season and just barely covered their first spread of the season last week in spite of the fact that it took a fluke, trick play in overtime to beat them in East Lansing. Meanwhile, perception on Stanford is great. The Cardinal are in the Top 25 and just came off of a huge beat down against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. The problem is that Stanford really isn't this good and Notre Dame isn't this bad. QB Dayne Crist might be the better signal caller of the two in this game, even though we do love QB Andrew Luck. This is a long, long road trip for the Cardinal, and the last time they won in South Bend in a number of seasons, and there doesn't seem to be a good reason to make them such a big favorite in this game. This is a tremendous price on the Irish.

West Virginia Mountaineers (+250 at Diamond Sportsbook) @ LSU Tigers, Saturday, 9:00 ET: Are we certifiably insane to pick against the LSU Tigers in Baton Rouge at night? West Virginia is a stronger team than it is letting on to at this point, and though QB Geno Smith really hasn't come forth with a huge outing on the road yet this year, this is a grand opportunity. We hate the Tigers this year and we know that the offense isn't going to be able to get through this defense for enough points to beat this type of a number if the Mountaineers end up scoring some points. Don't be shocked to see this game turn out to be a big, big upset that spoils the SEC and gives a huge boost to a Big East conference that is considered the weakest of the BCS conferences in the country.

#5 TCU Horned Frogs @ SMU Mustangs (+17.5)
Friday, September 24th
8:00 ET, Gerald J. Ford Stadium, Dallas, TX

The #5 TCU Horned Frogs will look to go 4-0 in non-conference play on Friday night when they take on the rival SMU Mustangs. TCU has looked quite dominant in their first three games of the season, winning by an average of 33 PPG. Last week against Baylor the Horned Frogs raced out to a 35-3 halftime lead en route to an easy 45-10 victory. QB Andy Dalton was extremely efficient and showed why he is considered one of the top quarterbacks in the MWC. Dalton completed 21 of 23 passes for 267 yards and two touchdowns against the Bears defense and piloted the Horned Frogs offense to 558 total yards. RB Ed Wesley also had a monster game for TCU, carrying the ball 19 times for 165 yards and two scores. Since coming to the program, SMU HC June Jones has brought some much needed respectability back to the Mustangs. Jones’ pass happy offense has been a delight for QB Kyle Padron, who has lit up the stat sheets in his second season as SMU’s quarterback. In their 35-21 win against Washington State last week, Padron went 19 of 34 for 280 yards and notched four touchdowns. WR Aldrick Robinson was the main recipient of Padron’s prowess, catching four passes for 111 yards and three scores. Padron will certainly need to be on his “A” game Friday night, if the Mustangs have any chance at upsetting the Horned Frogs.

Prediction: TCU 41 SMU 27

College Football Betting

Here at Cappersinfo.com, we are taking a weekly look at the teams that could be ones ripe to pull off some major upsets! Before making your college football picks this week, check out some of these potentially ugly underdogs.  This group of dogs could come up and bite you in the butt in you aren't careful in the third week of college football betting action!

Underdog Pick #1: Nevada Wolfpack (+120 at Diamond Sportsbook) vs. California Golden Bears, Friday 10:00 ET: The second Friday night college football affair of this week is going to feature two very high powered offenses. The Wolfpack have a real chance to make a name for themselves and their screwy Pistol offense in the final year for QB Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick has the ability to run for 200 yards and throw for 300 yards in the same game, even against a bunch of Golden Bears that are coming out of the Pac-10. Nevada won't be playing a heck of a lot of defense in this one, but we have to remember that this is a team that is 26-12 in its L/38 home games. Needless to say, MacKay Field really screws up its opponents. Last year, HC Jeff Tedford's team was taken out by the Utah Utes in the Poinsettia Bowl. This year could be a significantly tougher challenge going on the road against a team that could be every bit as good, if not better. Nevada has the NCAA football trends on its side in this one and could pull the outright upset.

Underdog Pick #2: Arizona Wildcats (+110 at Diamond Sportsbook) vs. Iowa Hawkeyes, Saturday, 10:30 ET: The Hawkeyes did a fantastic job last year of getting off to a good start, and they ultimately nearly ended up winning the Big Ten for it. Last year, one of their signature wins came against these Wildcats, though the game was in Kinnick Stadium. Now, Iowa has to return the favor to Arizona, in what could be the biggest game in the HC Mike Stoops era. Remember last year when the Wildcats nearly trumped the Oregon Ducks at home in what could've sent them to the Rose Bowl? It is fairly clear that this is a team that isn't screwing around this year either. Winning by a combined score of 93-8 this season has been phenomenal for 'Zona, but this is going to be a significantly different challenge. QB Ricky Stanzi isn't easy to beat, as the Hawkeyes went undefeated last year when he finished a game he started. However, Arizona is definitely capable of pulling this upset and should be on your radar.

Underdog Pick #3: Tulsa Golden Hurricane (+250 at Diamond Sportsbook) @ Oklahoma State Cowboys, Saturday, 7:00 ET: Tulsa really could be a 2-0 team right now, and if not for the Hail Mary that connected for the East Carolina Pirates, the perception of this game would be totally different. The Golden Hurricane aren't afraid to go on the road and take it to some big boy opponents. QB GJ Kinne is one of two men in the country that have thrown for at least 350 yards in each of his first two games of the year. Oklahoma State might have wins over Troy and Washington State this year, but neither victory has us jumping for joy. The Trojans nearly pulled the upset here in Stillwater last week in a 41-38 defeat. The truth of the matter is that the Golden Hurricane are significantly better than the Trojans are, and if that holds true, the upset really could be in the cards. Either way, grabbing the seven points really isn't a bad idea for one of the best teams in Conference USA.

Underdog Pick #4: Temple Owls (+220 at Diamond Sportsbook) vs. Connecticut Huskies, Saturday, 12:00 ET: Though the Owls haven't looked great this season and the Huskies are coming off of one of the biggest wins in terms of margin of victory in school history, we tend to believe that this is going to be a fantastic home pup sitting there for the taking on Saturday afternoon. Temple has all the talent in the world to finish as a Top 25 team this year, and a win against a fellow Top 25 contender in UConn would be huge. The City of Brotherly Love is going to be beaming for this one, as there aren't many more chances for the Owls to impress like this. Temple found a way to beat the Central Michigan Chippewas last week, and they should be up for this challenge as well. If they can slow down RB Jordan Todman, even just a tad, they could be ripe for the pickings.

Though the AP and US Today come out with their polls every single week, there isn't a college football betting power poll like the one you're going to find at Cappers Info! Check out the 25 most impressive teams of the season to date with our NCAA football picks.

1: Boise State Broncos: The Broncos might not ultimately end up being the class of the college football betting world this year, but there is no doubt that they are for real after having the goods to take care of Virginia Tech in a de facto road game after blowing a big lead.

2: Alabama Crimson Tide: The Crimson Tide are still going to be one of the best teams in the country for the entire season, but for now, their win over San Jose State isn't as impressive as Boise State's over V-Tech.

3: Ohio State Buckeyes: Terrelle Pryor was impressive this week, but we can't get too caught up in the fact that it was Marshall that he ran all over. Bigger challenges will be on the horizon, and inevitably, a win against Miami this week will boost the Buckeyes.

4: TCU Horned Frogs: Give TCU a heck of a lot of credit for ditching a very stingy Oregon State team. Don't worry about the fact that the margin of victory wasn't what it could have been in this one either. The Horned Frogs are for real and could legitimately be a BCS spoiler for the entire season.

5: Oregon Ducks: The Quack Attack is back! Many thought that the loss of Jeremiah Masoli would be the death of the Ducks. However, the offense rolled off 720 yards in a win against New Mexico last week that sees them getting off to a great start to the season. More impressive victories like that could be on the way.

6: Nebraska Cornhuskers: Big Red has impressed us all offseason long, as we think the Black Shirts are going to be bringing it each and every week once again this year. We'll wait and see what Nebraska really has to offer this year against good competition, as the huge win over Western Kentucky was very much so expected.

7: Texas Longhorns: The Horns might be in a bit of trouble this year if they can't dispose of a Rice team that lost its starting quarterback to injury during the game. Garrett Gilbert doesn't look like the Heisman Trophy contender that the media cracked him up to be at the beginning of the season… not yet, at least.

8: Miami Hurricanes: Are the Canes really the top team in Florida? We were awfully impressed by the way they rolled over Florida A&M with a complete effort on both sides of the pigskin. Obviously this week's battle against Ohio State is a real benchmark for a team that is about to come up on the hardest chunk of schedule that any team in the country will have all season long.

9: Iowa Hawkeyes: Iowa could've been more impressive in victory this week, but Kirk Ferentz's clubs don't always know how to be flashy. Remember that this was a team that barely beat Northern Iowa last year in the opener and was arguably an injury to a Ricky Stanzi away from running the table for the whole season. Things are only getting better in the cornfields of Iowa.

10: Florida Gators: Surprised to see the Gators ranked so low? Perhaps Florida would be ranked a little higher if Mike Pouncey got his snaps up off the ground a bit higher when John Brantley is in the shotgun. Eight fumbles won't cut it. One more performance like that against South Florida could see UF out of our Top 25, win or lose. The post Tim Tebow era is not off to a good start, needless to say.

11: Virginia Tech Hokies: Sure, the Hokies are a one loss team, but we don't think that the 'L' against Boise State is worth castrating them over. Frank Beamer's club came to play on Monday night and were beaten by a better team after taking their best shot. That doesn't mean that VT deserves to drop that far out of the Top 10.

12: Wisconsin Badgers: We were looking for a bit more offense from Scott Tolzein, John Clay, and the Badgers this week, but a victory in Sin City against UNLV was certainly earned. Wisky should be hoping for some more point production in a hurry, or it won't stand the test of time in the Big Ten.

13: Utah Utes: Utah makes three mid-majors in our Top 15, and for good reason. The Utes played their hearts out against a rock solid Pittsburgh team that will probably still end up in the Top 25 by the time the season is said and done with. The OT win showed grit and tenacity, and the win might ultimately end up leaving Utah in a position to crack the Top 10 in all of the polls very, very soon.

14: Oklahoma Sooners: The Sooners need a reality check if they aren't blowing the doors off of Utah State on a regular basis. Barely hanging on to beat the Aggies impresses us far less than it did the pollsters who voted this team in the Top 10. We think that OU is lucky to just be keeping its ranking in the Top 25 at this point until we see better from it.

15: Arkansas Razorbacks: For as long as the Razorbacks have Ryan Mallett standing upright, they have a chance at beating anyone in the country. That will get tested soon enough, though for now, Arkansas is still a middle of the pack Top 25 team.

16: Florida State Seminoles: Jimbo Fisher badly needs this week's game at Oklahoma to roster order at Florida State. He couldn't have asked for much more than what he got from his team last weekend, a 59-7 thumping of Samford. Sure it was Samford, but the Noles haven't put up a dominating performance like that on both sides of the pigskin in years.

17: Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets: The Jackets are going to be a "thorn" in everyone's side this year, as the triple option has proven to still be a threat even without Jonathan Dwyer in the backfield. The Josh Nesbitt for Heisman campaign is off and running, and we very much so think that he could be a huge impact player in the race for college football's most prestigious award by the time we reach December.

18: Penn State Nittany Lions: Joe Pa decided that he would go with a freshman at quarterback this year, and though there were some early mishaps, Robert Bolden proved that he could be worthy to the task. However, that challenge will almost certainly be too hard this week, as the trip to Tuscaloosa is probably going to be a little much for this frosh to overcome.

19: Georgia Bulldogs: If the Dawgs' offense can drop 55 points on the board without the services of AJ Green in the lineup, just how scary will they be when he is back? UGA will hope that Green gets cleared to play this week, or South Carolina might roll.

20: South Carolina Gamecocks: Speaking of South Carolina… The Gamecocks were big, big winners last week over Southern Miss in a game that many thought they were going to get upset in. South Carolina still could be facing a lot of suspensions though, and if that happens, we can probably kiss this Top 25 ranking goodbye.

21: LSU Tigers: Are we the only ones that weren't all that impressed with the way that the Tigers beat a crippled UNC team over the weekend? The Bayou Bengals haven't made us believers quite yet, as we tend to believe that those suspensions for the Tar Heels handed the boys in gold and purple a victory they otherwise wouldn't have gotten.

22: USC Trojans: Sorry, Lane Kiffin. Until your defense can hold a team like Hawaii under 500 yards on the day, we aren't buying what you're selling, especially since we know that reality will set in at some point on your team that it isn't going to a bowl game or winning the Pac-10 title.

23: West Virginia Mountaineers: The 'Neers clearly still have a running game to be afraid of, as Noel Devine once again put forth a great effort in the season opening win against Coastal Carolina. However, QB play is still shaky, as Geno Smith didn't look all that great against a very bad defensive team. Marshall will pose more of a threat this week, but this is still a 'D' that he should be tearing apart.

24: Michigan Wolverines: Big Blue came up with the biggest win in the coaching career of Rich Rodriguez in Ann Arbor on Saturday. The Wolverines might have at least temporarily taken their head coach off the hot seat with the 'W' over UConn. Do you believe in Denard Robinson yet? We certainly will if he can blow through Notre Dame's defense this week.

25: Arizona Wildcats: This could be a very dangerous team brewing in the desert. Nick Foles could be one of the best quarterbacks in the land that you've never really heard of, but after watching him blow through Toledo's defense without any problems, one has to wonder whether the sky is the limit for him or not. We might find out more real soon, though Zona won't get tested this week by the Citadel.

Here at Cappers Info, we are taking a weekly look at the teams that could be ones ripe to pull off some major upsets! Check out the potentially ugly dogs that could come up and bite you in the butt in you aren't careful for the second week of college football betting action!

Florida State Seminoles (+300 at Diamond Sportsbook) @ Oklahoma Sooners, Saturday, 3:30 ET: Inevitably, the Seminoles are going to need a Herculean effort just to even remotely stick around with the Sooners this week. However, just as former HC Bobby Bowden had no fear about going on the road and trying to beat any team in the country, new HC Jimbo Fisher is in dire need of a signature win to nail himself down as the true captain of the garnet and gold ship this year. If QB Christian Ponder wants to win the Heisman Trophy this year, he has to outduel fellow Heisman candidate QB Landry Jones. The Oklahoma defense looked mortal last week in a 31-24 win over Utah State. FSU might be able to catch the Sooners napping just a tad and pull a tremendous upset that could ultimately send huge shockwaves through the ACC and the rest of the college football betting world.

UCLA Bruins (+220 at Diamond Sportsbook) vs. Stanford Cardinal, Saturday, 10:30 ET: The Bruins might be a better team than we originally thought at the outset of the season. They didn't play all that poorly against Kansas State last week, and it was amazing that they stuck within nine points in spite of the fact that QB Kevin Prince only completed nine of his 26 passes. Things can only get better offensively from there. The Cardinal beat the snot out of Sacramento State last week, but who cares? It's Sacramento State. The ground game might have produced 213 yards, but no one made it past 57 last week individually. This is going to be the first real challenge for QB Andrew Luck, as the sophomore is going to be flying on the road for the first time without the services of RB Toby Gerhart behind him. This is a very, very interesting proposition for an upset, as the Bruins badly need to win this game and HC Rick Neuheisel knows it.

Michigan Wolverines (+165 at Diamond Sportsbook) @ Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Saturday, 3:30 ET: Last week, we picked against Big Blue and got burned in a bad way. This week, we aren't being as foolish. The Wolverines looked great against a team that we still have a good feeling about in the UConn Huskies. There were no answers for QB Denard Robinson last week for the Huskies, and we tend to think that the Irish aren't going to have much more work. Robinson completed 19-of-22 passes for 186 yards and a TD and rushed for another 197 yards and a TD on 29 carries. HC Rich Rodriguez's defense played fantastic ball as well, holding Connecticut to just ten points and 343 yards. Be very, very careful Notre Dame. The Wolverines might be able to put together a fantastic effort even away from the Big House and pull off the solid upset.

South Florida Bulls (+600 at Diamond Sportsbook) @ Florida Gators, Saturday, 12:20 ET: Could the Gators really be in store for yet another difficult game this week? The Bulls know that they can already go into hostile territory in the Sunshine State and walk away with a victory. Ask the Seminoles all about that from last year. As for Florida, nothing worked offensively in the first week of the post Tim Tebow era, and we don't know if that's really going to change. What we do know is that someone else needs to be snapping the football. Seven times snaps were left on the ground last week against the Miami Redhawks, resulting in two turnovers. South Florida looked good offensively last week in a hefty win over Stony Brook, but we need to remember that this is still just Stony Brook. HC Skip Holtz knows how to pull upsets in the big game, and it isn't going to get much bigger than this. QB BJ Daniels has been here and done this as well. We think that 16.5 points is a slew of points to be giving a team that could be poised to make a great run in the Swamp. Don't be shocked if this one comes down to the wire.

Here at Cappers Info, we are taking a weekly look at the teams that could be ones ripe to pull off some major upsets! Check out the potentially ugly dogs that could come up and bite you in the butt in you aren't careful for the first week of college football betting action!

Pittsburgh Panthers (+135 at Diamond Sportsbook) @ Utah Utes, Thursday, 8:30 ET: The Panthers are lined at +3 in a rematch of the 2005 Fiesta Bowl in which the Utes beat them down 35-7. With RB Dion Lewis ready to rock and roll, the Panthers could be a scary pick not only to win this game, but to capture the Big East crown and potentially even the BCS National Championship as well. The Utes don't know what is about to hit them in this one. There's more on this game coming later this week…

Toledo Rockets (+500 at Diamond Sportsbook) vs. Arizona Wildcats, Friday, 8:00 ET: QB Austin Dantin is ready to prove himself as a legitimate threat to be one of the best players in the MAC in this, his sophomore season, and there would be no better way to go about that than in the opening game of the year at home against the Cats. This is a long, long road trip for HC Mike Stoops' men, and traveling across the country heading into the Glass Bowl is never a fun task. Though several key pieces are gone from last year's team, this is still an offense that averaged 437.9 yards per game last year, the 13th best mark in the land. Ask Colorado how easy it is for a West Coast school to come over to Toledo and walk out with a win in a nationally televised game… The Buffs were blown out 54-38 here last year. We'll take our chances at +500 that the Rockets can strike twice.

Connecticut Huskies (+130 at Diamond Sportsbook) @ Michigan Wolverines, Saturday, 3:30 ET: Prepare for the Big House to burn! The Huskies are out to make a name for themselves and for the Big East, and they can do so by making Big Blue and their head coach Rich Rodriguez very uncomfortable with the start of their season. It appears as though Rodriguez is going to try to use both QB Tate Forcier and QB Denard Robinson to lead the Wolverines to victory in this one, but he should probably be focused in on trying to stop UConn RB Jordan Todman instead. This is a prospective 1,500+ yard rusher in the making, and Michigan's defense ranked 92nd in the land last year on the ground. Don't be shocked to find the Huskies winning this one and potentially winning it in big, big fashion.

Virginia Tech Hokies (+115 at Diamond Sportsbook) vs. Boise State Broncos, Monday, 8:00 ET: There will be plenty of discussion about this game from now until Monday night when these two behemoths kick it off at FedEx Field, but here at Cappers Info, we are promptly going to call for the upset of the boys from the Smurf Turf. Boise State has had no history whatsoever succeeding when on the East Coast, as their most recent visit against a BCS team here was at Georgia, where the Bulldogs absolutely smacked the Broncos down Between the Hedges. Virginia Tech is a big time defensive team, and with QB Tyrod Taylor playing in his senior season, this would be the biggest triumph in quite a few years for HC Frank Beamer.

With the college football betting campaign starting in just four days, everyone is asking themselves who will win all of the conferences across the country. Here at Bankroll Sports, we have all of what you need to know before placing your NCAA football betting futures for the season. Check out our conference winners across the board, with odds brought to you by BetUS Sportsbook.

ACC: The old guard in the ACC should be ready and raring to go in 2010, but that doesn't mean that everything is going to work according to plan. Remember when the Miami Hurricanes and Florida State Seminoles were expected to play for this conference championship every single year? This could be the year. FSU seems to have a great chance of winning the ACC Atlantic Division, as it plays its toughest games at home (we're looking at you, Clemson) and dodges Virginia Tech. However, Miami has a brutal schedule to deal with. Georgia Tech and North Carolina will both be tough, but we're going to go with Virginia Tech this year. The Hokies, under Frank Beamer and senior QB Tyrod Taylor will probably be the best overall squad in this conference. Back Virginia Tech (+300 at BetUS Sportsbook) to win the ACC.

Big XII: This is a simple conference to decide, as only the Nebraska Cornhuskers, Texas Longhorns, and Oklahoma Sooners legitimately have a chance to capture the conference crown. These aren't particularly strong odds on Nebraska at +200, as Big Red will probably be around that size underdog against either OU or Texas in the Big XII title game. Instead, Oklahoma probably has the best shot of pulling this all off. Winning the Red River Rivalry will be the key for the Sooners, who dodge the Huskers in the regular season. Oklahoma will take care of Texas to set up that showdown with Nebraska, a game which it will win to go back to the BCS. Oklahoma (+125 at BetUS Sportsbook) is the choice in the Big XII.

Big East: Why is everyone so high on West Virginia this season? The Mountaineers, Huskies, and Panthers are the three co-favorites to win this wacky conference, but we aren't so sure why. What did the Cincinnati Bearcats do wrong all of a sudden? They get to host U-Pitt this year to end the regular season and still have a stud of a quarterback in Zach Collaros. Cincinnati's schedule is difficult understandably, but when push comes to shove, new head coach Butch Jones knows what he is doing having already followed in Brian Kelly's footsteps once before. This will be the easiest coaching transition in the country. Grabbing Cincinnati (+500 at BetUS Sportsbook) at these types of odds is a great idea.

Big Ten: Don't be so certain that this is a conference that belongs to the Buckeyes this year. Yes, Ohio State clearly has the most talented team in the Big Ten, but we aren't so certainly that QB Terrelle Pryor really has what it takes to compete for a Heisman Trophy and to bring OSU to another Rose Bowl. Instead, take a look at what Kirk Ferentz has going in the cornfields of Iowa. The Hawkeyes return 18 of their 22 starters from a year ago, and unlike last season when they had to travel to Happy Valley, Camp Randall, and the Horseshoe, all three of Wisconsin, Penn State, and Ohio State have to come to Kinnick Stadium this year. Remember, if QB Ricky Stanzi stayed healthy, Iowa probably ran the table last season, including a win at OSU. The Badgers are nice dark horses this year, but when push comes to shove, Iowa and Ohio State are deciding the Big Ten title, and we aren't backing down. Go with Iowa (+250 at BetUS Sportsbook).

Pac-10: What a wild conference this could be this year! USC is out of the mix with its bowl eligibility stripped, and Oregon is going to be playing without QB Jeremiah Masoli this year after he was kicked off the team during the winter. Still, the Ducks are the favorite to win the Pac-10 and our choice to win the conference. The Quack Attack still has a great ground game with sophomore RB LaMichael James, and new starting QB Nathan Costa will prove quickly that he is capable of running this high flying offense. The Ducks to have to travel to Corvallis this year for the Civil War against their instate rivals from Oregon State, but even a loss in that one shouldn't hold them back from the Rose Bowl for a second straight year. There will be roses in the future for Oregon (+125 at BetUS Sportsbook).

SEC: Anything short of two games between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Florida Gators this year would be incredibly disappointing to fans in the SEC. Even though both teams have probably taken a step back from last year, the rest of the SEC is down this season. Alabama might have one of the best offenses in the country, while Florida is still probably the most talented team in the land pound for pound. The bottom line though is that the Crimson Tide have visions of back-to-back National Championships on their mind, and HC Nick Saban is the man that can get the job done. Florida might only have two losses all season long, but those two will probably both come to the Tide. Back Alabama (-105 at BetUS Sportsbook) to win the SEC.

Other BCS Berths: Six conference winners in the BCS still leaves four open spots for teams to join into the mix. It seems like a foregone conclusion that the Boise State Broncos are going to be in the big bowl games this year regardless of whether they lose to Virginia Tech to kick off the season or not. If this team runs the table though, look out. The Blue Field boys are probably going to be playing against Alabama in the BCS Championship Game. We also know that the Ohio State Buckeyes are going to be deserving of a spot in either the Orange Bowl or the Sugar Bowl this year in spite of the fact that they won't win the Big Ten. The other two spots are going to be hard to fill. The TCU Horned Frogs are likely candidates to crash the BCS party again should they win the Mountain West, as there really aren't any other huge teams that stand out from the big conferences. TCU has a big game against Oregon State to start the year that can determine whether or not it will have a chance of playing for all the marbles or not. For the second straight year, expect the loser of the SEC Championship, the Florida Gators to back into the Sugar Bowl or the Fiesta Bowl to round out the top ten bowl berths in the nation.

For every team that is expected to have a fantastic season this year, there are several others that are probably going to be squads to stay away from in this 2010 college football betting campaign. Check out our preview of the 2010 college football odds with our five teams that you should be avoiding this year.

North Carolina Tar Heels under 8 wins (-130 @ Brobury Sports): The Tar Heels return plenty of starting talent, but it may not translate into a great year. The biggest problem is at quarterback, where the starter may not be named until late August. Fifth year senior T.J. Yates may be supplanted by freshman Brynn Renner. At wide receiver, the Heels have plenty of weapons in Greg Little, Jheranie Boyd, and Erik Highsmith. Running back Shaun Draughn returns to the team after a season ending shoulder injury last year. The offensive line will be composed mostly of sophomores. The defense, on the other hand, is full of stars. Up front, the Heels feature DE Robert Quinn, who was last season’s sack leader. Other mainstays include all-conference award winner and last year’s interception leading safety Deunta Williams, and all-ACC cornerback Kendric Burney. Schedule wise, there may not be a guaranteed win, short of William & Mary. The Heels open with a neutral site game against LSU and then start ACC play with Georgia Tech before traveling to Rutgers. Miami and Florida State will be huge road tests, as will a home game against Virginia Tech. North Carolina is going to get banged up this year; making any bowl game would be a great success.

Penn State Nittany Lions under 8.5 wins (-125 @ Brobury Sports): The Nittany Lions are coming off an 11-2 season, but now face the task of rebuilding an offense in a tough conference. For starters, the quarterback situation is murky at best. Joe Paterno has sophomores Kevin Newsome and Matt McGloin, as well as freshman Paul Jones, to choose from. With none looking impressive this spring, Penn State will be forced to become a run-first team. Star RB Evan Royster will be a major factor. At wide receiver, the team returns its top two targets in Derek Moye and Graham Zug. The experienced O-Line has its work cut out. Defensively, Penn State has several holes to fill. Bani Gbadyu will lead three new starting linebackers, replacing three NFL draft picks. DE Jack Crawford will be an impact player on the line, while the secondary will be led by cornerback D’Anton Lynn and safety Nick Sukay. After a first week tune-up game against Youngstown State, the Nittany Lions will go to Alabama. In conference, Penn State avoids Wisconsin, but will have to face Iowa and Ohio State on the road. Seven wins would be a great success this year.

Auburn Tigers under 8.5 wins (-120 @ Brobury Sports): Auburn faces a tough year on offense, putting pressure on a strong defense. The Tigers, for the third straight year, will need a new starting quarterback. Cameron Newton, former backup to Tim Tebow, appears to be the favorite, beating out senior Neil Caudle and sophomore Barrett Trotter. At running back, the Tigers will have Mario Fanin and Onterio McCalebb to replace Ben Tate. Fanin proved to be a talented receiver and rusher last season, averaging 8.4 yards per rush and 9.8 per catch. Fortunately, the unit does retain its top two wide receivers in Terrell Zachery and Darvin Adams. The offensive line returns four starters, which will allow Newton time to throw. On defense, the Tigers look very strong. All four starting linemen have experience. Senior linebackers Craig Stevens and Josh Bynes will add talent and experience. In the secondary, there are four capable safeties to choose from. Auburn faces a favorable schedule, but a highly questionable offense will keep them from a nine or ten win year. The Tigers will face LSU and Georgia at home and travel to Alabama. Expect seven or eight victories.

UCLA Bruins under 5.5 wins (-120 @ Brobury Sports): Last year’s six regular season wins were sandwiched around a five game conference losing streak. This year, QB Kevin Prince will again be the starter, but with a new offensive scheme. Prince was not an effective player last year and suffered several injuries. At his disposal will be last year’s top two wide receivers, Taylor Embree and Nelson Rosario. The running game has a few options, starting with last year’s leader Johnathan Franklin. Joining him will be freshman Malcolm Jones. The offensive line returns four starters. On defense, the Bruins lose six starters, including Pac 10 Player of the Year Brian Price. However, the unit can build around a strong secondary, which includes free safety Rahim Moore. Moore led the nation last season with ten interceptions. At linebacker, the Bruins have Akeem Ayers to lead the way, but UCLA will need to find more talent to fill out the front seven. Things have to gel quickly for both units, as the schedule leaves little room for error. The non-conference schedule includes games at Kansas State and Texas, as well as a home game with Houston. In conference, UCLA goes to California and Oregon. The Bruins are going to be hard pressed to dig out five wins.

Stanford Cardinal under 7.5 wins (-135 @ Brobury Sports): The Cardinal has some work to do this season. It starts with replacing, Heisman runner-up RB Toby Gerhart. To keep the running game from sliding too far back, Stanford will use a pair of backs in Stepfan Taylor and Jeremy Stewart. The focus will shift to QB Andrew Luck, who was also last year’s second leading rusher. His passing game wasn’t stellar, but should be improving upon his 2,575 yards of a year ago. His two top targets will return, in Ryan Whalen and Chris Owusu. After them, though, there are no proven options. On defense, the Cardinal returns eight starters, but a new scheme will have them in different spots. DEs Thomas Kaiser and Chase Thomas led the team last season in sacks. The secondary is still up in the air, with no solid prospects to play free safety or fill one of the cornerback spots. The schedule offers little rest for the Cardinal, as three of the team’s first four FBS games will be on the road. Stanford travels to Notre Dame and Oregon before returning home to face USC in September. Seven wins would be a great success for an offense that is finding itself and a defense with holes in the backfield.

The 2010 college football betting season is almost here, and here at Cappers Info, we have the inside skinny on the five teams that you should be banking on going 'over' their season win totals and should be trying to cash in with all season long!

South Carolina Gamecocks over 7 wins (even @ Brobury Sports): The Gamecocks are primed to do some damage in the SEC this season. The offense will be led again by QB Stephen Garcia, who struggled somewhat last year, due in part to trouble on the offensive line. However, now with nine starters back on offense, things are looking up. Returning at wide receiver are Alshon Jeffrey and Tori Curley, who averaged 16.6 and 14.2 yards per catch respectively. Running back Kenny Miles also returns. Miles led last year’s team in rushing yards, but scored only once. With a more experienced offensive line, both the ground and passing offenses stand a much better chance. Defensively, the Gamecocks are in great shape. DE Cliff Matthews returns, leading last year’s squad in sacks and earning all-conference honors. The linebackers run deep, with Shaq Wilson leading the way. Senior safety Chris Culliver will lead a strong secondary. As for the schedule, it’s no cakewalk. However, the toughest opponents all come to Columbia, with Georgia and Alabama showing up early in the year. The most challenging road game will be at Florida in November. The Gamecocks could easily see nine wins.

Nevada Wolfpack over 9.5 wins (+105 @ Brobury Sports): The Wolfpack went on an eight game win streak after losing all three of their non-conference games last year. This season, the nation’s top dual threat quarterback Colin Kaepernick returns with plenty of offensive talent. Kaepernick was just one of three 1,000 yard rushers, and running back Vai Taua will rejoin him. The team’s passing attack was lackluster a year ago, but all three leading receivers return, with Brandon Wimberly, Tray Session, and Chris Wellington. On defense, the Wolfpack may finally be on the rise. Last year’s 119th ranked passing defense returns seven starters and a new defensive coordinator in Andy Buh promises a more aggressive scheme. Both cornerbacks are back, and juniors Brandon Marshall and James-Michael Johnson will lead the linebackers. The schedule appears a bit easier than last year’s, with four of five non-conference games being highly winnable. The Wolfpack will travel to Hawaii and Fresno State, in a tough conference schedule, but host Boise State. Ten wins should be this season’s expectation for Nevada.

Florida State Seminoles over 7.5 wins (-140 @ Brobury Sports): The Seminoles are poised to be strong ACC contenders. Returning at quarterback is Heisman hopeful Christian Ponder, who was impressive through nine games before injuring his shoulder. He will have plenty of talented options to work with, starting with a strong group of wide receivers. Bert Reed is expected to become the top target. Strong second and third options exist in Taiwan Easterling and Jarmon Fortson. The ground attack will be led by senior Jermaine Thomas, who was good for nine scores last season. Behind him will be Chris Thompson and Ty Jones. Defensively, the Seminoles are completely retooling. New coordinator Mark Stoops will have to jumpstart a defense which allowed 433.8 yards and 30 points per game last season. Up front, FSU returns three linemen. Two starting linebackers are also back, which should improve the running defense. At cornerback, Ochucko Jenije will make a huge impact on opponents’ passing games. The schedule is favorable, minus a few monstrous games. The Seminoles will travel to Oklahoma in week two, followed by a home contest with BYU. A final week home game against Florida will not be easy. In conference, things aren’t so bad, with the toughest game at Miami.

Washington Huskies over 7 wins (-130 @ Brobury Sports): The Huskies return nine starters on offense, with QB Jake Locker leading the way. Locker’s strengths are twofold; he threw for 21 touchdowns while running for seven last year. Sophomore tailback Chris Polk had one of the best rookie rushing seasons in school history. At wide receiver, the Huskies will rely primarily on Jermaine Kearse, who averaged 17.3 yards per catch last year. Devin Aguilar provides a strong second target. Four starting linemen return, which will be a huge key for this unit’s success. On defense, the Huskies have some questions up front. Due to some injuries, Washington may need to find two new DEs. Mason Foster will lead the linebackers as last season’s interception leader. U-Dub faces a tough non-conference schedule, with an opening week game at BYU and two weeks later hosting Nebraska. In the Pac 10, the Huskies will have to go to Oregon and Arizona. A high powered offense will offset the question marks on defense; Washington could take eight or nine wins easily.

Virginia Tech Hokies over 9.5 wins (-120 @ Brobury Sports): The Hokies are poised to win the ACC this year. Returning at quarterback is Tyrod Taylor, who has shown the ability to throw as well as scramble. The bulk of the ground attack will be led by Ryan Williams and Zac Evans, who is returning from injury. All three top wide receivers return in Jarrett Boykin, Danny Coale, and Dyrell Roberts. Boykin and Coale both averaged over 20 yards per reception in 2009. Defensively, the Hokies also stay strong. Despite just five starters returning, the team has plenty to build around. All three starting linebackers are back, led by Barquell Rivers, who should be back from a leg injury by September. Team interceptions leader Rashad Carmichael returns at cornerback. The Hokies will have little time to gel, as Boise State comes calling in week one. Virginia Tech has a three game losing streak going in week one non-conference games. After that, though, the schedule eases considerably, with only four road games. Their toughest test in the ACC will be at Miami. Expect a ten win season.
