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!

Year To Date Record: 3-9 (-$293)

College Football Upset Pick #1: Rutgers Scarlet Knights (+310 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Arkansas Razorbacks, Saturday, 7:00 ET: Are the Hogs finished? We think that the question is definitely worth asking at this point. They have lost back to back games, and they were just called out by their quarterback, QB Tyler Wilson for “giving up” against the Crimson Tide. Rutgers went on the road last week and took out USF, and now, it has had a long week to prepare for coming on the road to Fayetteville for this one. This is one of those games that could go either way. The Scarlet Knights could come out, frustrate the Arkansas offense, and ultimately run away with the game in the end, or Arkansas could come out, take a 21-0 lead in the first quarter and never look back. We’ll take our chances that it is the former at least one out of four times.

College Football Upset Pick #2: Oregon State Beavers (+250 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ UCLA Bruins, Saturday, 3:30 ET: This is probably going to be the direction which we go for quite some time, as we think that the Bruins are overrated at this point. QB Brett Hundley could be hurting with an ankle sprain, and the Beavers are well rested, having played just one game in the first three weeks of the year. QB Sean Mannion could be the better of the two signal callers, and Oregon State could have the better of these two defenses. Just looking at the line movement in this one suggests that the Beavers are the right side, and we’ll take our chances that they can go into the Rose Bowl and win this game. There are just too many “could be”s for us to want to back the Bruins in any way, shape, or form.

College Football Upset Pick #3: Michigan Wolverines (+195 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Saturday, 7:30 ET: At some point, the Fighting Irish are going to come back to earth and revert to the 9-3 team that we still believe that they are. QB Denard Robinson is the better of these two quarterbacks, and Michigan has the better of the two defenses. Sure, the Golden Domers have home field advantage, but they also have a bad history here against Big Blue, namely in the form of three straight losses by exactly four points. Had that Michigan/Alabama game never happened, Michigan might have been favored in this one. Big Blue, in our opinion, should win this game half the time.

College Football Upset Pick #4: Akron Zips (+10000 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Tennessee Volunteers, Saturday, 7:30 ET: Eh, 100 to 1? Why not. It’s worth a stab on the Zips in our eyes for a quarter of a unit. Tennessee could come into this game with no fire whatsoever, and if that turns out to be the case, a very hungry Akron side could at least conceivably be able to put enough points on the board to give the Volunteers fits, especially the way that they were mauled last week by the Gators.

College Football Upset Pick #5: Louisiana Tech Bulldogs (+125 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Illinois Fighting Illini, Saturday, 8:00 ET: And the next game in the long line of games that shouldn’t be referred to as upsets… A very good Louisiana Tech team goes on the road to Champaign to take on the Illini, who we still contend are one of the worst teams in the bottom of a Big Ten conference that has a lot of garbage in it. This is just a bad line, and the world is going to find out just how good the Bulldogs are when they come to town and beat the snot out of the Illini. We expect a double digit victory for the visitors.

College Football Upset Pick #6: Utah Utes (+200 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Arizona State Sun Devils, Saturday, 10:00 ET: We were impressed last week with the way that the Sun Devils competed with Missouri, but in the end, it might not have been all that great of a game. The ‘Zou might not be a bowl team this year, and it didn’t have QB James Franklin in the fold either. QB Jon Hays has the Utes moving right now, and fresh off of their upset of BYU last week, we think that they can get the job done on the road in the desert as well.

Here at Cappers Info, we are taking a weekly look at the teams that could be Twos 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 NFL betting action!

Year To Date Record: 11-9 ATS

Upset Record: 2-8 -$550

Underdog Pick #1: Carolina Panthers (+245 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Chicago Bears, Sunday, 1:00 ET: We just tend to have a gut that these two teams aren’t as far separated as the NFL odds suggest. QB Cam Newton has played well over the course of the season, and though many will quickly point to the fact that he didn’t even reach 200 passing yards last week against the Jacksonville Jaguars, we’ll also be quick to say that three quarters of that game were played in an absolute deluge. The rain should be away in the Windy City, and that being said, Newton should do significantly better. We just don’t know about these Bears either. The defense this year has been questionable at best, and the offense with QB Jay Cutler just isn’t all that impressive. RB Matt Forte didn’t even reach double digits in rushing in last week’s loss against the Green Bay Packers. An upset could be in the cards in this one.

Underdog Pick #2: St. Louis Rams (+130 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. Washington Redskins, Sunday 1:00 ET: The Redskins are probably fool’s gold at this point, and we are definitely calling them on it. We don’t believe in QB Rex Grossman whatsoever, and this split backfield of RB Roy Helu and RB Tim Hightower just isn’t all that great either. For whatever reason, we still believe in the Rams. Sure, this is a team that has lost three games this year, but we have to remember that this has been an incredibly difficult schedule. Playing Washington isn’t the same as taking on either Philadelphia or Baltimore. The difference might really show, especially getting RB Steven Jackson back in the lineup for a full work load this week against a defense that still has a lot of question marks surrounding it.

Underdog Pick #3: Seattle Seahawks (+180 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. Atlanta Falcons, Sunday, 4:05 ET: We just love these home underdogs this weekend. The Seahawks play significantly better ball at Qwest Field than they do on the road, especially since all of these road trips are just incredibly long. Speaking of incredibly long roadies, what about the one that the Falcons are set to take? The only win that they have had this year came against the Eagles, and that’s not a win that might be all that sharp by the time the season is said and done with. Losing to the Bears on the road isn’t good. This is a terrible, terrible spot for the visitors, and we plan on taking full advantage of it with these odds.

Underdog Pick #4: Cincinnati Bengals (+135 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. Buffalo Bills, Sunday, 1:00 ET: Alright Buffalo, it’s time for you to go away. The Bills are the worst 3-0 team that we have ever seen, and there is no doubt that they are going to be in the dumps shortly. That win last week against New England was the most charged up game that you will see this season by any team. But now, going against the Bengals, all of the air is going to be let out of the building, especially on the road. Cincinnati isn’t great at all, but it has stayed a lot more competitive this year than we would have thought. The Bengals will get back into the win column this week.
