Episode 103: NCAAF Week 1 Trend Analysis & Best Bets

The Week 1 slate is loaded with massive spreads — but should you trust the trends or fade them? Dan Karpuc breaks down three of the biggest college football betting debates using data from TrendsCenter.First, is Alabama’s incredible 15-3 ATS record in Week 1 since 2007 enough to justify laying 28 points against East Carolina, or is this a trap with a new-look Crimson Tide, a veteran ECU quarterback and an explosive offensive system?Then, can Tennessee State cover a massive +47.5 against Georgia? Kirby Smart is 0-14-1 ATS against underdogs of 40+ points, making this one of the strongest trends on the board.Finally, should you follow the 20-2 ATS trend for ranked home teams against unranked opponents in Week 1 and back LSU -10 against Clemson, or is the historical data hiding a matchup with too much roster turnover and uncertainty?Alabama -28: TRAP.Tennessee State +47.5: TREND.Clemson +10: TRAP.Three games. Three trends. Three decisions.Trend or Trap? You decide.
