College Football 5 Teams To Sell High

It’s late October and we are all the way to Week 9 in college football. Let’s take a look at five teams who have been great to bettors so far this year that I think you might want to sell high on soon.

BYU (5-2 ATS) The Cougars have been excellent this year at 7-0 straight up. I think Sitake is an excellent coach, but BYU has been very fortunate to win some of their recent games. BYU must play three of their next four games on the road. The games at Texas Tech and at Cincinnati will be particularly interesting. Bear Bachmeier has done a solid job managing the game for the Cougars, but I don’t think he can throw it around if BYU really needs to score a lot. This is a good team, but I think there are chances to fade them coming.

Western Kentucky (6-2 ATS) The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers were fortunate to cover against Louisiana Tech earlier this week. Maverick McIvor is injured and it is unknown how much time he will miss. The Hilltoppers are likely to be laying points in their next couple games, but I’d be careful with laying those points. Western Kentucky is one of the worst run defenses in the country too. If they are playing a team that can run (see Jacksonville State in the last game of the year), that could be dangerous!

Western Michigan (6-1 ATS) Western Michigan has covered this year thanks to their much improved defense. The Broncos are excellent against the rush, and only mediocre against the pass. Western Michigan has no real offensive identity, and the teams on their schedule who can score are likely to be tough for them to hang around with the whole game. 

Marshall Thundering Herd (5-2 ATS) I’ll admit Marshall has been better than I expected. Marshall still has a pretty weak defense though, and they will be on the road for three of their next four contests. The lone home game during that span is against James Madison, who is the class of the Sun Belt Conference. I think we’ll find a couple good fade spots the rest of the way here.

Hawaii Warriors (6-2 ATS) Hawaii has been on a great run of late,  but they are awfully reliant on the pass game with Alejado working. Hawaii is still giving up a lot defensively, and their next three opponents have elite offenses. They are on a bye week this week, but a road trip to San Jose State could be very tricky. The home date against San Diego State is one I have my eye on as well.
