But, in the college ranks, you see those types of spreads all the time. This is where betting college and pros differ and here are a few more options to think about when you are going to bet in the NCAA ranks.

Miami minus 37… how many times have you seen that? In recent years, probably quite a few times. Are big point spreads a good bet? Well, it will depend a lot on the team. What I mean by that is there are quite a few teams out there that like to run up the score.

Ever since they started the new bowl system (BCS), more and more teams want to run up scores to run up their BCS rankings. These are usually pretty good teams to bet on.

There are a few teams that are given a huge point spread but won’t run up the score, but those teams that do are the ones you want to look at and possibly bet on. Is it a for sure bet, no, but teams such as Miami or Minnesota are known for running up the score.

Now I’m not saying they do it every time, but the bigger the point spread and the bigger the blowout margin, the higher you BCS rankings go!
