What to Look for in a Good NCAAF Pick
In order for college football picks to be worth your time, they should be well-researched insights rather than poorly educated guesses. Sports are inherently unpredictable, and there is no such thing as a perfect prediction. But there are some things that any pick worth its salt has to factor in.
Below, we’ll look at some of the different criteria that should be weighed when making a NCAA football projection.
- Recent Performance: How teams are trending can have a big bearing on their future performance. We look at how teams have played in recent games.
- Injuries: Injuries are a big part of football. It is important to look at the injury report and see what key players may be out.
- Conference Matchup and History: Conference matchups with historical rivalries sometimes require throwing out the records and expecting the unexpected.
- Weather and Location: Home field advantage is a real factor in the raucous environments of college football. Weather can also dictate the outcome of a game.
Against the Spread Performance: Some teams consistently win but don’t cover the spread, or vice versa. Performance against the spread is an important consideration. - Line Movement: We always check the line movement before every game to see how the sharps are wagering.

Frequently Asked Questions
We know there is plenty of confusion that can come with gambling advice, and we’re here to help. Below, we’re providing some answers to the most frequently asked questions about college football picks.
How Often Are These College Football Picks Provided?
We try to provide as frequent picks as we can. That means, typically, there are several picks made for each week of the college football season through to the playoffs.
How Are These Picks Helpful to Bettors?
Our picks are helpful to bettors as an additional source of information. Our experts research each pick they make, which can help save gamblers substantial amounts of time. However, the predictions should not be taken as a guarantee, they are simply informed opinions.
Should I Wager on Every Pick That BettingTop10 Provides?
This is not how we would recommend using our free picks. We want gamblers to exercise caution and only bet on picks that align with their beliefs. If you don’t think the logic behind one of our picks is sound, don’t bet on it, simple as that.
Are Paid Picks Guaranteed to Be Better Than Free Picks?
No. There are no guarantees for paid or free picks. Any sports betting operator that claims otherwise is misleading. Sometimes, paid picks use higher-quality data and AI tools that are only available upon subscription or include guesses from world-renowned experts. But overall, paid and free picks are both inherently based on projection.
