College Football Odds: Handicapping News and Notes For Nov. 21 Games

Coaches are on the hot seat and teams are fighting for bowls. But some of the obvious motivation factors for football bettors are not always the biggest intangibles. Here are some news and notes to beat the college football odds for games of Nov. 21.

San Diego State vs. Utah

The Utes will be without their leading tackler Derrick Shelby for the rest of the season. He suffered a torn ACL in their loss to TCU last week.

Minnesota vs. Iowa

It’s a large revenge game for the Gophers. Last year Iowa handed Minnesota their biggest conference loss ever and second biggest overall when the Hawkeyes humiliated the Gophers 55-0 in the Metrodome.

Purdue vs. Indiana

The Hoosiers will also have plenty of motivation after losing 62-10 when the teams met last year. Purdue scored on their first ten possessions.

Colorado State vs. New Mexico

Something has to give. Colorado State, off a bye week, has lost seven in row. New Mexico is 0-10. Incredibly CSU started out 3-0 straight up.

UAB vs. East Carolina

After a 2-5 straight up start, Alabama-Birmingham has won their last three games by a combined 125-83. If they win their remaining two games, they will play in the C-USA Championship Game.

Connecticut vs. Notre Dame

If any team is clearly better than their record, it is the Huskies. Their five losses this year are by a combined 15 points.

Rutgers vs. Syracuse

Syracuse has scored just 19 points in two games since star WR Mike Williams quit the team. He was considered perhaps the team’s best player at any position.

TCU vs. Wyoming

Wyoming’s starting QB is a freshman Austyn Carta-Samuels. He has already gone up against the other three top teams in the conference: BYU, Utah, and Air Force. The problem is Wyoming was outscored 84-10 in those games. TCU has beaten all three teams.
