Betting College Football Playoff with Pay Per Head Bookies

by WagerHome Blog on December 29, 2020

There is so much sports on the calendar this week that it’s almost easy to forget that the three biggest games of the college football season are yet to be played. That changes on New Year’s Day when the semifinals of the College Football Playoff kick off, and the eventual national champion takes one step closer to the title.

It also leads us right into the final week of the NFL regular season and the sports betting bonanza that is the month of January.

Rose Bowl – Notre Dame vs. Alabama (-19.5)

Only the year 2020 could give us a Rose Bowl game played in Arlington, Texas, and Notre Dame making the game as a representative from the ACC. But since 2021 will be upon us by the time this game begins, let’s talk about the football.

Notre Dame is very good. The Fighting Irish beat Clemson earlier in the season, only to lose to the Tigers in the ACC Championship Game. That is the only blemish on an otherwise stellar record that comes from Notre Dame playing great defense and featuring an offensive line that is one of the best in the country.

That offensive line will be key because it absolutely has to keep the Notre Dame offense humming against Alabama. Even with a great Irish defense, we know Alabama is going to score.

Both quarterback Mac Jones and wide receiver DeVonta Smith are Heisman Trophy finalists, and running back Najee Harris just missed the cut as the fifth-highest vote-getter.

Can Notre Dame keep pace with Alabama? The bookmakers clearly don’t think so.

Sugar Bowl – Ohio State vs. Clemson (-7.5)

As soon as Clemson closed out its victory over Ohio State in the semifinals last year, this was the rematch we all hoped to see. It was a heavyweight fight between two teams with two great quarterbacks, who amazingly are even better this season.

This is Clemson’s sixth trip to the College Football Playoff semifinals, and it’s worth noting that the Tigers are 4-1 against the spread in the previous five. Ohio State finds itself in the unusual position of being the underdog in this one. Since 2012, the Buckeyes are 7-1 against the spread when playing as the underdog, with that lone loss coming to Clemson and Trevor Lawrence at the Fiesta Bowl a year ago.

Both teams are ready for a battle, and it’s hard to believe that Clemson will win this by more than a touchdown. The Tigers are more battle-tested than Ohio State, having played 11 games to OSU’s six, but that may also mean the Buckeyes are healthier.

Four Reasons Why LSU Will Win the 2020 College Football Playoff

by WagerHome Blog on January 7, 2020

It is the College Football Playoff matchup we were all hoping to see: Last year’s freshman phenom, Trevor Lawrence, and the defending national champion Clemson Tigers vs. this season’s out-of-nowhere Heisman winner, Joe Burrow, and the offensive juggernaut that is the LSU Tigers.

It is entirely possible that the national championship game next Monday night will feature the top picks in the next two NFL drafts in Burrow and Lawrence. That’s how much star power and talent will be on the field. A quarterback rivalry born in 2020 may be a football storyline for the next 15 years.

With this kind of a matchup and this much-expected action, it is the perfect time to make sure your bookmaking services are top of the line and that you’re using a pay per head service that’s up to the task.

At WagerHome.com, you can get four free weeks to try it before making any commitments.

As for the game itself, we like LSU to win for the following reasons.

Heisman Joe

Burrow won’t be the only great quarterback on the field Monday night, but he is, without a doubt, the quarterback who is playing the best. In LSU’s semifinal win over Oklahoma, he set numerous records and finished the game with 493 yards, seven touchdowns, and an eye-popping efficiency rating of 239.77.

All were season highs, and as they say in football, it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish, and no one is finishing this season better than Burrow.

Clemson’s Defense

The Tigers did hold Ohio State to just 23 points and held them to a season-low third-down conversion rate of 38 percent. But they also gave up 516 yards, and that point total would have been much higher if not for a pair of costly interceptions thrown by Justin Fields.

Burrow will do a better job of protecting the football than Fields did, and with yardage totals like that, the points will come. The Clemson defense is very good, but even with two weeks to prepare for LSU, it won’t be able to slow the LSU offense down.

Coach O is a Stabilizer

Clemson has the experience. Playing for a national title is old hat for the Tigers, who have won two titles in the last three years.

For LSU, this is all new, and perhaps a little intimidating. But if anyone can keep this team grounded for 60 minutes of football, it’s head coach Ed Orgeron and his LSU staff.

This team will not get too high following its win over Oklahoma, or too nervous playing for the title. Coach O will make sure they stay focused and ready.

Receiving Corps

Burrow doesn’t have a great Heisman season without top weapons, which is exactly what he has in wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson. Chase has 1,559 yards and 18 TDs this season, but if you slow him down – like what happened against Oklahoma when he caught just two passes – Jefferson steps up.

Jefferson had 14 catches for 227 yards and four touchdowns against the Sooners. You might contain one or the other. There is no way you can stop them both.

Five Risky College Football Teams To Bet On To Win The National Championship

by WagerHome Blog on October 29, 2019

With only a few more games on the college football schedule, the race for the College Football Playoff is heating up. What is also heating up is futures betting for the college game in which team will win the national championship.

One of the good things about being a bookie with a solid Pay Per Head site, like the ones available at WagerHome.com, is that you can offer players futures bets all year long, and they can have betting action for the entire season until the national champion is crowned. The more bets you can offer your players, the better, as the more they wager, the more you will make.

There are not only many different college football bets to make but quite a few futures options as well. There are futures bets to who will win the national championship as well as conference winners, and which player will win the Heisman Trophy.

You need to let your players know all of their betting options, as there are many for college football, and this is especially the case for futures bets, which can be made all season long.

There are still a lot of teams with pretty good futures odds to win it all this season, so let’s take a look at five of the riskier bets with their odds.

LSU (6/1)

The Tigers are the top-ranked team in the nation, have the nation’s fourth-ranked offense, and second-ranked passing offense. While they may not seem like a risky bet, they are. Their big game is their next one, facing No. 2 Alabama on the road, and if they lose that game, they are likely out of the SEC title game, which means they will probably miss out on a CFP spot.

Alabama (5/2)

The Crimson Tide may also be a risky bet, as they not only face LSU in their next game but a tough Auburn team on the road in their regular-season finale. Auburn’s only losses this season have come against LSU and Florida, who are both ranked in the top 10.

Clemson (3/1)

Yeah, kind of strange picking Clemson and Alabama as risky bets. However, Clemson has not played a tough schedule, and while it should get a CFP bid, will they be ready? They narrowly beat a 4-4 North Carolina team by one point, and early in the season beat a ranked Texas A&M team, who are now out of the Top 25 and currently 5-3.

Penn State (16/1)

The main reason the fifth-ranked Nittany Lions are a risky bet is they still have to face third-ranked Ohio State, and that game is on the road.

Oregon (30/1)

The odds for seventh-ranked Oregon show the oddsmakers think they are a risky bet. The Ducks’ only loss was in their season opener, facing a solid Auburn team, and that game was their only one this season against a Top 25 team.

The futures odds will change from week to week, depending on how the teams are doing. You should let your players know this so they can jump in on some betting action.

Futures bets are something you have to offer your players, as well as all of the other options for college football. A PPH site with a lot of college football betting options is a good thing to have, as the sport is so popular, and there are so many betting options.

Again, the more betting options for your players, the more bets they can make, and the more money will be in your pocket.
