Wisconsin Badgers Big Ten 2026

Wisconsin Badgers bounce back 2026

WISCONSIN BADGERS Big 10 Sleeper – The Badgers look to bounce back after failing to make a bowl game in each of the last 2 seasons after reaching the post-season every year since 2002 prior to that.  They showed some life near the end of last season beating 2 ranked teams (Illinois and Washington) in their final in November.  The defense really played well after a few changes late last season holding 4 of their last 5 opponents to 21 points or less (National Champ Indiana the only team that topped 21).  They are expected to be solid again on that side of the ball.  Much of their offensive woes can be attributed to injuries at QB with Wisconsin losing their starting signal caller early in the season each of the last 2 years.  They were down to their 3rd and 4th string QB midway through last season.  They brought in Old Dominion starting QB Colton Joseph who threw for over 2600 yards and ran for over 1000 yards last season.  He’s the perfect fit for OC Grimes offense.  The schedule is MUCH more manageable this season with a strength of schedule ranking outside the top 100 (win/loss method) after sitting in the top 5 last season.

South Carolina Gamecocks 2026

SouthCarolinaSleeper

South Carolina football predictions 2026

SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS sleeper team – The Gamecocks finished a disappointing 4-8 last season which was their worst season under head coach Shane Beamer.  Their only other losing season under Beamer was in 2023 when they finished 5-7 and bounced back in 2024 with a 9-4 record.  Despite their record, South Carolina had a positive point differential and positive yards per play differential last season.  Kendal Briles (TCU offensive coordinator last season) has been brought in to coordinate the offense and he should have success with 3rd year starting QB Sellers back.  The O-line is rebuilt with transfers but has a ton of experience with over 6,000 combined snaps, the most in college football.  The offense as a whole brings back over 10,600 snaps, also the most in CFB.  The Gamecocks should get off to a fast start as they should be favored in 4 of their first 5 games and only 1 road tilt during that stretch. South Carolina could provide some solid betting value early on in 2026.

Penn State Big Ten Champions +240

PennStateBig10champs

ASAwins – Penn State +240 to Win the Big Ten: 2025 Sports Betting Preview

Penn State enters the 2025 college football season as a legitimate contender for the Big Ten title, with odds of +240 and a chance to more than double our investment. The Lions have a strong roster, favorable schedule, and elite coaching staff. With one of the deepest teams in the nation, a proven track record under head coach James Franklin, and key additions to the coaching staff, the Nittany Lions are well-positioned to make a run at the conference crown and a spot in the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff (CFP).

Why Bet on Penn State at +240?

1. Elite Roster Depth and Returning Talent – Penn State boasts one of the most talented and experienced rosters in college football for 2025. The Nittany Lions return key players at nearly every position, including quarterback Drew Allar, running backs Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen, and a stout offensive line with four returning starters. Defensively, they return starters at all three levels, including star defensive end Dani Dennis-Sutton and cornerback A.J. Harris.

Running Back Duo: Singleton and Allen form the nation’s premier backfield, both surpassing 1,000 rushing yards in 2024 (Singleton: 1,099 yards, 12 TDs; Allen: 1,108 yards, 8 TDs). ESPN ranks them as the No. 2 and No. 3 running backs in college football for 2025, respectively. Their complementary styles—Singleton’s explosive speed and Allen’s physical, chain-moving power—make them a nightmare for opposing defenses. Both are also effective in the passing game, with Singleton recording 375 receiving yards and 5 TDs in 2024.

Offensive Line: Penn State returns four of five starters on the offensive line, including tackles Drew Shelton and Anthony Donkoh, guard Vega Ioane, and center Nick Dawkins. This unit allowed just 8 sacks and 14 tackles for loss in 2024 while paving the way for 3,237 rushing yards. Their experience and cohesion should provide ample protection for Allar and open lanes for Singleton and Allen.

Quarterback Stability: Drew Allar, a former five-star recruit, returns for his senior season after showing improvement in 2024 under offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki. Allar’s health and decision-making will be critical, but with a strong supporting cast, he’s poised for a breakout year.

Transfer Portal Additions: Penn State addressed its wide receiver struggles by adding Devonte Ross, Kyron Hudson, and Trebor Peña via the transfer portal. These additions provide Allar with reliable targets, potentially elevating the passing game.

2. Proven Track Record Under James Franklin – Franklin’s tenure at Penn State has been marked by consistent success, with a 101-42 record (.706 winning percentage) and seven top-12 CFP rankings in the last nine seasons. Since 2016, Penn State is 82-12 straight-up (SU) as a favorite, with an average margin of victory of +21 points per game (PPG). This is a critical stat, as the Nittany Lions are projected to be favored in every game except their road matchup against Ohio State.

Recent Success: In 2024, Penn State reached the Big Ten Championship Game and secured two CFP victories, finishing with a 12-2 record.

However, Franklin’s 1-15 SU record against Top 5 teams is a concern. The Ohio State game looms large, but the Buckeye’s face a tougher schedule and will likely have to win in Michigan in their final game of the season.

3. Favorable 2025 Schedule – Penn State’s path to the Big Ten title is manageable, with only one projected underdog game (at Ohio State). Key games include:

Home vs. Oregon: A marquee matchup that could decide the Big Ten pecking order. Playing at Beaver Stadium, where Penn State is 45-5 SU since 2016, gives them a significant edge. The Lions also get Nebraska at home who is the only other preseason Top 25 team on their schedule.

The Lions avoid Michigan and USC which are two major obstacles avoided on their way to a Big Ten Championship.

4. Elite Coaching Staff – Penn State’s coaching staff is among the best in college football, with offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki and new defensive coordinator Jim Knowles leading the charge.

Andy Kotelnicki (Offense): In his second year at Penn State, Kotelnicki has transformed the offense into a dynamic unit. In 2024, Penn State ranked first in the Big Ten in rushing yards per game (over 200 YPG), thanks to Kotelnicki’s creative play-calling and utilization of Singleton and Allen. His Kansas offense in 2023 averaged 206 rushing yards per game and 5.4 yards per carry, and with a more talented roster in 2025, expect similar production. Kotelnicki’s ability to incorporate tight ends and running backs into the passing game could offset the loss of star tight end Tyler Warren.

Jim Knowles (Defense): Knowles, hired from Ohio State, brings a proven track record of elite defensive performance. In 2024, his Ohio State defense led the nation, allowing just 264 yards per game (YPG) and 12.9 PPG. Knowles’ aggressive, blitz-heavy scheme should mesh well with Penn State’s talented front seven, led by Dennis-Sutton (4.5 sacks in 2024 CFP games) and emerging linebacker Tony Rojas (58 tackles, 3 INTs in 2024). Knowles’ defenses have ranked first in the nation for four consecutive years, and Penn State’s 2024 defense already ranked No. 17 in rushing defense.

5. Did we forget to mention the defense? – Penn State returns 70% of its defensive production from 2024, including key contributors like safety Jaylen Reed (98 tackles, 3 INTs) and defensive tackle Zane Durant (42 tackles, 11 TFL). The addition of transfers like Michigan’s Owen Wafle and Texas A&M’s Enai White bolsters the defensive line.

6. Betting Value at +240 – At +240, Penn State offers strong value compared to favorites like Ohio State (-110) and Oregon (+200). The Nittany Lions’ depth, coaching, and schedule give them a realistic path to 11 or 12 wins, which could be enough to win the Big Ten, especially if they upset Ohio State on the road. The +240 odds imply a 28.6% chance of winning the Big Ten, but Penn State’s metrics suggest their true probability is closer to 33-35%, making this a value bet.

Key Stats Recap

Franklin’s Record: 101-42 at Penn State, 125-57 overall.

As Favorite: 82-12 SU since 2016, +21 PPG average margin.

Running Backs: Singleton (1,099 yards, 12 TDs) and Allen (1,108 yards, 8 TDs) in 2024.

Offensive Line: 4 returning starters, allowed 8 sacks in 2024.

Knowles’ Defense (2024 at Ohio State): 264 YPG, 12.9 PPG, No. 1 nationally.

2024 Team Stats: No. 1 in Big Ten rushing (200+ YPG), No. 17 rushing defense nationally.

With a loaded roster, elite coaching, and a favorable schedule, Penn State is poised for a breakout season. Bet on the Nittany Lions to roar in 2025.

FUTURE BETTING PREDICTIONS

College Betting | NCAAF Texas Tech Win Total Prediction | June 17 2025

TexasTechWinTotal

ASAwins Betting Summary: Texas Tech Red Raiders Over 8.5 Wins for 2025 Season

Case for the Over (9+ Wins): Texas Tech is poised to exceed 8.5 wins in 2025, building on an 8-5 record in 2024 and leveraging a combination of returning talent, a transformative transfer portal haul, and a favorable schedule. The Red Raiders’ aggressive offseason moves, particularly on defense, address critical weaknesses, while their high-powered offense remains a strength, making the over an attractive futures bet.

Offensive Strengths:

Returning Starters: Texas Tech returns eight offensive starters, including senior quarterback Behren Morton, who threw for 3,335 yards and 27 touchdowns in 2024, despite shoulder issues. Morton’s experience in the Air Raid offense, where he started all 12 games, ensures continuity and growth. Key returners like wide receivers Coy Eakin and Caleb Douglas (combined for over 100 catches) and a veteran offensive line anchor the unit.

2024 Offensive Stats: The Red Raiders ranked 9th nationally in total yards per game (462 YPG), 9th in passing yards per game (294.3 YPG), 61st in rushing (167.7 YPG), and 4th in scoring (37.6 PPG). This explosive offense, led by Morton, should maintain its elite production, especially with a favorable non-conference schedule (Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Kent State, Oregon State) and only one 2024 bowl team before October.

Transfer Additions: The offense was bolstered by transfers like wide receiver Roy Alexander (100 catches at Incarnate Word) and USC running back Quinten Joyner, adding depth and playmaking. Offensive line transfers like Jalen Sampson (Houston, 6-8, 325 lbs) and Will Jados (Miami-Ohio, 38 career starts) address 2024’s pass protection issues (52 pressures allowed by the left side). These additions bridge gaps until younger linemen develop, ensuring Morton has time to operate.

Defensive Improvements:

2024 Defensive Struggles: Last season, Texas Tech’s defense was a liability, ranking 126th out of 133 FBS teams in total defense (460 YPG) and allowing 34.8 PPG, with a particularly weak pass defense (308 YPG, worst among Power 4 teams). This was a key factor in their 5-losses a year ago, as the offense couldn’t outscore every opponent.

Transfer Portal Dominance: Texas Tech secured the nation’s top-ranked transfer portal class, with a heavy focus on defensive upgrades. They added five defensive backs and four defensive linemen/edge rushers, including high-impact players like edge rusher David Bailey (Stanford, 14.5 career sacks), Romello Height (Georgia Tech), Lee Hunter (UCF, 69 tackles in 2023), and Skyler Gill-Howard (Northern Illinois). PFF rated Tech’s defensive line among the top 10 most impactful transfer units, projecting starters like Hunter and Gill-Howard to transform the front.

New Coordinator: Defensive coordinator Shiel Wood, hired from Houston, brings a proven scheme that ranked top-40 in scoring defense and limited big plays (only 37 scrimmage plays of 20+ yards allowed). With eight returning defensive starters, including linebackers Jacob Rodriguez and Ben Roberts (42 combined starts, 325 tackles), and these transfers, the defense is expected to significantly improve, potentially flirting with league-average performance.

Schedule and Intangibles:

Favorable Schedule: Texas Tech’s 2025 slate starts with three winnable home games (Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Kent State, Oregon State), providing early momentum. Two open dates (Sept. 27 and Nov. 22) offer rest and preparation before tough road games at Utah, Houston, Colorado, Kansas State, and West Virginia. Only one opponent through October was a 2024 bowl team, easing early integration of transfers.

Program Momentum: Coach Joey McGuire’s aggressive approach, backed by a $10+ million investment in transfers, signals a win-now mentality. The Matador Club’s NIL collective and early planning for the $2.8 billion House settlement ensure roster stability.

Risks to Consider:

Defensive Integration: While the transfer additions are elite, integrating 17 new players (21 total transfers) could lead to early chemistry issues, especially with a new defensive coordinator. The defense must improve from its 2024 basement ranking to at least mediocre to support the offense.

Morton’s Health: Morton’s shoulder surgery (December 2024) means he’ll miss spring practice, though he’s expected to be cleared by May. Any setbacks could force reliance on backups like Will Hammond or Mitch Griffis, potentially disrupting offensive rhythm.

Betting Recommendation: The over 8.5 wins (+115) is a strong value bet. Texas Tech’s elite offense (4th in scoring, 9th in total yards) returns nearly intact, with Morton and key weapons ensuring 37+ PPG potential. The defense, previously a liability at 460 YPG and 34.8 PPG, has been overhauled with top-tier transfers like Bailey, Hunter, and Height, plus a proven coordinator in Wood. A soft early schedule and two open dates set up 9-10 wins. The +115 odds offer a favorable payout for a team with Playoff buzz and a realistic shot at a Big 12 title push.

Final Prediction: Texas Tech finishes 9-3 or 10-2.

Miami FL vs. Florida Preview | 8-31-24 | By ASA

The Miami Hurricanes will face off against the Florida Gators on Saturday, August 31, at 3:30 PM ET.

Miami enters the game as a 2.5-point favorite, with the over/under set at 54 points. In the 2023 season, Miami posted a 7-6 record straight up (SU) and 6-7 against the spread (ATS). As head coach Mario Cristobal begins his third year with the Hurricanes, he faces considerable pressure following a less-than-stellar 14-11 overall record in his first two seasons.

The team will debut new starting quarterback Cam Ward, a transfer from Washington State, where he threw for 3,700 yards and 25 touchdowns last year. Miami’s offensive line is largely intact, and last season the offense averaged 31.5 points per game (38th nationally) and 6.4 yards per play (24th nationally). However, only 43% of their total offensive yardage returns, ranking them 78th in the nation.

On defense, Miami allowed 335 yards per game, placing them 26th nationally, and 5.1 yards per play, ranking 36th. They were particularly strong against the run, giving up just 3.5 yards per carry, which was 20th in the nation. However, the team lost 8 of its top 11 tacklers and returns only 41% of last season’s total tackles, ranking 116th nationally. Historically, Miami has fared well against in-state rival Florida, with a 7-1-1 spread record in their last nine meetings since 1986.

The Florida Gators, on the other hand, finished the 2023 season with a 5-7 record SU and 4-8 ATS. Head coach Billy Napier is also under pressure as he begins his third year in Gainesville, with an 11-14 record over his first two seasons and no bowl appearance last year.

Florida returns 8 starters on offense, including quarterback Graham Mertz, who ranked third in the nation with a 73% completion rate. The Gators also bring back their top running back and 3 of their top 4 wide receivers.

Defensively, Florida returns several starters on the defensive line and in the secondary, but they struggled last season, allowing 6.4 yards per play, which ranked 124th nationally. The Gators face a tough challenge this season, as they play the most difficult strength of schedule in college football, with 8 of their opponents entering the season ranked in the top 25. Despite this, Florida has performed well as a home underdog, covering the spread in 5 of the 7 games since 2018.
