Sports Marketplace – NCAA Week 2
Recapping Week1
This is our first year providing the NCAA Football Marketwatch, and we couldn't have asked for a better start. Not only did all three of the teams we highlighted cover the spread, they won outright as well. It just goes to show you that preseason hype is just that, hype, as three preseason top-25 teams fell to underdogs.

NCAA WEEK 2
Week 1 was much anticipated, and it didn't disappoint. We saw some big upsets, some big injuries, and a lot of good games. Some conferences looked very strong (SEC), and some looked... well let's just say not very good (ACC). Week 2 has some high-profile teams making their season debuts (Notre Dame and Miami), and features some interesting matchups (West Virginia at East Carolina). We're glad to have the college teams back battling on the way to the BCS Championship Game in Miami.
Warning to all new readers of the NCAA Football Sports Marketwatch column: in order to follow our selections, you’ll need ice running through your veins. Be prepared to take up meditation or acupuncture to calm the nerves. The goal of this weekly column is to highlight games that offer true “line value.” Often, if a line looks too go to be true, there is a reason. The underlining theme every week is line value. You’ll consistently need the worst teams on the board to come through. We typically buy on bad news and sell on good.
We anticipate there will still be quite a few lopsided bet games this week due to more cupcakes on the schedules of some top teams. Visit SportsInsights.comto view wagering statistics on NCAA games from multiple online sportsbooks. Here are a trio of line value games we are keying on.
