College Football Picks Today: Best Bets for Nov. 9

• We could be looking at the greatest College Football slate in history on Saturday, November 9, 2024
• There are a million games, but two have caught my eye, and both need to be slammed
• Check out the best way to bet on these Saturday college football games below

There is something about gambling all day on a Saturday that hits differently. Nobody knows how or why, but we all know it does. This Saturday is no different.

The strategy is simple. Win all the money. In this article, we’re going focus on the backend of the slate. Most people don’t know this, but when betting big-ass College Football slates, we need to get our night bets in early. Gambling makes people tired, and we don’t want to make important decisions while we’re weary from gambling all day.

Especially when we’re talking about huge matchups like the Alabama/LSU game and the Holy War between the BYU Cougars and Utah Utes. Lucky for us, I’ve already got a banger for both of those games. All we have to do is put these tickets in our back pockets and wait for the cash to roll in. It really doesn’t even seem fair.

This could easily be the greatest Saturday of our lives.

LSU Will Hang Points

One of the best games of the day is the Alabama/LSU game at 7:30 pm. We need to bet this thing. There’s no way we can let these kids go out there and play for nothing. It just wouldn’t be right.

Especially since we know for a fact that these two have a history of getting loose in their matchups.

A Night To Remember

Here’s the thing about this one. I think we’re getting points. Like a lot of them. The only issue is, the bookmakers know this, too. Look at the total. It’s jacked all the way up to 58.5. If we want to bet this thing, we’re going to need another angle. Or balls of steel. I say let’s look for a better angle. Lucky for us, I have one.

It’s the LSU team total. FanDuel has a profit boost on this thing, so we can jack it up a little too. These Tigers are home dogs on a Saturday night in Baton Rouge. The kids in the stands are going to be feeling pretty good by the time this thing starts. They’re probably already hanging out in the parking lot now. Simply put, LSU will have all the vibes.

On the field, LSU should be able to sling the rock all over the place. They’re legit sixth in the country in passing yards per game. I know the haters are going to say that Bama is top 30 at defending the pass, but they can’t even name one quarterback the Tide have faced this season. If you say that to one of them, they’ll answer back with, “They played Carson Beck”. Well, that kid went 400+ against Bama. Case closed.

• The Pick: LSU Tigers Team Total Over 28.5 (+148) – FanDuel (With Boost)

We Need Scores in the Holy War

Tonight, we’re getting some West Coast action, which will be needed. Anytime we get loose on a Saturday night with primetime action, the best way to settle down before bed is with more action. Lucky for us, we’ve got the Holy War at 10:15 tonight.

I know this thing has been a little lopsided over the last decade, but that doesn’t concern us.

Utah has won 9 of the last 10 in this rivalry 👀

Here’s what we need. Points. We can’t care who wins this War. We just want to see some kids dancing in the end zone. There’s nothing wrong with that.

Now we know the haters are going to say that Utah’s offense is terrible, and they’re right. But like always, they haven’t thought this thing through. They’re forgetting that the BYU defense is terrible. The last two times the Cougars went on the road, they gave up 24+ points. All we need is 42 points between both teams tonight, and we’re stuffing cash in our pockets. Feels right.
