College Football Week 5 Early Odds, Picks & Prediction: Florida State vs. Wake Forest
FSU EDGE Jared Verse missed last Saturday’s win against Boston College with a knee injury suffered the week before in a win against Louisville. It’s unclear if Verse will be able to suit up against Wake Forest.
FSU did receive great news on QB Jordan Travis last week. Travis suffered an ankle injury against Louisville that team insiders initially expected to cost him the Boston College game. But Travis’ prognosis changed late-week, and he was able to return to the starting lineup.
What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting “against the spread†refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
