Betting College football betting is so much fun. The real excitement is there.
The line moves are all over the place , so much stuff on the board. You have your eyes on everything all day long for 12 or more hours. Every last play, the whole day seems like an eternity.
NFL, I love the NFL! But when you are betting it you are usually just getting cute and trying to sneak in another winner or two (or chasing). After Saturday.
College football, it's what sets up your +/- for the week.

Very tough call for me for different reasons.
I have been a big fan of Pro Football for almost 50 years and if I'm honest while I love College Football very much to watch live, I love Pro Football to watch on TV and to gamble on..College Football can occasionally for me become magical when a game lives up to it's billing and keeps you at the edge of your chair for the entire game at home.
The Pros for whatever reason are more enjoyable to me, perhaps because despite free agency teams remain identifiable on the field from year to year.
To actually attend a big time college football game in mid autumn when the leaves are turning gold and the weather is getting brisk (but not yet real cold) is, gambling aside, a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
When I was in my very early teens I was lucky enough to be able to attend some Boston College games under those circumstances in Chestnut Hill Mass. I went to games for several years thanks to being involved in The Knights of Columbus as a needy youth without a father. The Knights would take young catholic kids like myself who were also alter boys and boy scouts to all kinds of big time sporting events. The Knight who took me under his wing was a great father figure who happened to be a BC grad. I will never forget him.
And no being an alter boy at the church and parochial school I went to did not mean any wrong doing went on on the part of anyone with the alter boys or scouts. Getting back to football..
I remember one particular game so well. One beautiful fall Saturday B.C hosted a powerhouse Syracuse team led by potential Heisman Trophy winner Ernie Davis (tragically struck down a year or two later at the age of 23 by leukemia) and the venerable Ben Schwartzwalder the long time head coach of The Orangemen on just such a day around 1961. That was the year Davis won the Heisman. That day Ernie ran for 3 touchdowns in a 40 or more to 20 something Syracuse romp.
Football regardless of which level it is played at has always been a sport I could never get enough of...
