Colorado’s Week 1 game betting line released

Will you be betting on the Buffs in their season opener?

The Colorado Buffaloes will be a home underdog in their Week 1 matchup against the TCU Horned Frogs. Tipico Sportsbook has TCU favored by 7.5 points as of June 7 for the Sept. 2 kickoff.

Betting wisdom usually holds that homefield advantage counts for three points on the line, so the Buffaloes would’ve been staring at a double-digit point spread if the game was held at a neutral site. But fortunately, Folsom Field will be hosting.

Colorado is also getting +235 on the money line and as of writing, there is not a point total bet. Last year, the Buffaloes opened the season as a 37.5-point favorite over Northern Colorado. This year’s season-opening line is both a reflection of the season the Buffs had last year, as well as playing a more quality opponent in TCU.

Tipico releases odds for Penn State’s road season opener at Purdue

What are the early odds on Penn State’s season opener at Purdue in Week 1? Tipico odds revealed.

Before you know it, Penn State football will be back. Fans of the Nittany Lions won’t have to wait quite as long as they typically do every offseason as Penn State’s season opener at Purdue has been moved up to a Thursday night to help lead into the first full weekend of college football action in 2022. And it appears the Nittany Lions will be starting an interesting 2022 season as a slight favorite on the road against the potentially dangerous Boilermakers.

The first batch of game odds from Tipico for the opening weeks of the college football season have officially been released, including Penn State’s road game at Purdue on Thursday, Sept. 1. Penn State is a slight favorite on the road, with Tipico giving the home team just over a field goal on the point spread. There hasn’t been a point total assigned to the game by Tipico at this point in time.

This will mark the third consecutive season Penn State will open a new year on the road and against a Big Ten opponent. Penn State lost ay Indiana to start a modified 2020 schedule in Big Ten-only play, and the Nittany Lions won a defensive battle in Madison against Wisconsin to open the 2021 season.

Penn State is 15-3-1 all-time against Purdue, and the Nittany Lions currently own a nine-game winning streak in the series dating back to 2005. Penn State is 7-2 all-time in games played on Purdue’s campus. The most recent trip to Ross-Ade Stadium resulted in a 62-24 victory by Penn State. Purdue held a 14-7 lead early in the second quarter but [autotag]Trace McSorley[/autotag] passed for 228 yards and three touchdowns, two of which were thrown to [autotag]Chris Godwin[/autotag], and [autotag]Saquon Barkley[/autotag] went off for 207 yards and two touchdowns as Penn State dominated the second half after being tied at 17-17 at halftime.

This year’s matchup should be considerably closer than that lopsided result. Penn State’s last loss at Purdue came in 2003, with No. 18 Purdue coming on top by a score of 28-14 with Kyle Orton playing quarterback for the Boilermakers. Penn State’s [autotag]Micahel Robinson[/autotag] had a rough day throwing the football, completing just 10 of his 32 pass attempts with two interceptions and 98 total passing yards.

Purdue will have some questions at the wide receiver position after losing its leading receiver to the NFL draft and losing its returning leading receiver to an injury. Given that Penn State is a bit of a mystery heading into the 2022 season with a lack of general consensus on just where the team stands, this small point spread seems to make sense this far out from kickoff.

The lines, courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook

  • Point spread: Penn State -3.5 (-114)
  • Money line: Penn State -170 / Purdue +133
  • Over-under: N/A

Dillon Gabriel opens with fifth-best odds for the 2022 Heisman Trophy per Tipico Sportsbook

According to Tipico Sportsbook, Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Dillon Gabriel has the fifth-highest odds to win the Heisman trophy in 2022.

Heisman contention is a familiar place for the Oklahoma Sooners. [autotag]Baker Mayfield[/autotag], [autotag]Kyler Murray[/autotag], and [autotag]Jalen Hurts[/autotag] set an incredibly high standard for the quarterback position at Oklahoma in recent years.

Mayfield and Murray both won the Heisman and Hurts was a finalist. Heading into 2022, Spencer Rattler was expected to contend for the prestigious award and even after Caleb Williams took over, there were times it looked like he might interject himself into the Heisman discussion.

Though the Sooners experienced turnover at the most important position in football, they aren’t far off at the position from where they were in 2021.

The optimism that surrounds the Oklahoma Sooners heading into the 2022 season has a lot to do with the guys Brent Venables brought in to replace the key figures of the offense from 2021.

In order to keep the offense humming, Venables brought in Jeff Lebby as the offensive coordinator and Dillon Gabriel committed to Oklahoma just hours after Caleb Williams entered the transfer portal in January.

Gabriel, who was a highly-productive player at UCF may not be the favorite for the Heisman like previous quarterbacks for the Sooners, but coming in with the fifth-best odds certainly says something about the way Tipico Sportsbook feels about the Oklahoma offense.

The new starting quarterback for the Sooners comes in with the fifth-best odds to win the [autotag]Heisman Trophy[/autotag] at +3000 according to Tipico Sportsbook. That puts him tied with Clemson’s D.J. Uiagalelei, TreVeyon Henderson and Jaxon Smith-Njigba of Ohio State, Tyler Van Dyke of Miami, and Jaxson Dart of Ole Miss.

Gabriel comes in behind C.J. Stroud of Ohio State at +240, Alabama’s Bryce Young at +350, [autotag]Caleb Williams[/autotag] at +750, and Texas‘ Bijan Robinson at +2000 and just ahead of [autotag]Spencer Rattler[/autotag], who lands at +4000.

[autotag]Marvin Mims[/autotag], who’s expected to lead the Sooners in receiving in 2022 currently sits at +20000.

Bo Nix for Heisman? The Oregon QB has respectable odds heading into 2022 season

Despite still battling for the starting QB spot at Oregon, Bo Nix has been given respectable odds to win the Heisman Trophy.

We have less than 100 days until the Oregon Ducks kick off their 2022 season against the defending champion Georgia Bulldogs, and it’s getting to the point where football previews are becoming abundant.

For the Ducks, there’s a hope that the first year under new head coach Dan Lanning will start on a high note, and a refurbished offense and defense can carry Oregon through a relatively reasonable Pac-12 schedule and into the conference championship game.

[lawrence-related id=24628]

If the Ducks are going to find that success, it’s going to mean they gained good production from the quarterback position. At the moment, there is a feeling Auburn transfer Bo Nix will be the guy to lead Oregon, but there’s still a chance he will face continued competition from either Jay Butterfield or Ty Thompson.

However, if Nix ultimately wins the starting job, a lot of eyes will be on him to succeed under the new-look Oregon offense. There are some high hopes for his season as well, which are represented in his odds to win the Heisman Trophy at the end of the year. Here are the initial odds for the prestigious award by Tipico Sportsbook.

The lines, courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook

At the top of the odds, you will find the usual suspects including C.J. Stroud (+230), Bryce Young (+350), Caleb Williams (+750) and Bijan Robinson (+2,000). A little further down the list is where you can find Oregon Ducks quarterback Bo Nix (+5,000).

Nix has the 15th highest odds to win the award, tied with West Virginia quarterback J.T. Daniels, Pittsburgh quarterback Kedon Slovis, Tennessee QB Hendon Hooker, Mississippi State QB Will Rogers, Louisville QB Malik Cunningham, and Texas QB Quinn Ewers.

Is Oregon being undervalued as a massive underdog to the Georgia Bulldogs?

Is the betting line for Oregon vs. Georgia showing too little faith in Dan Lanning and the Ducks? We discuss…

We can be real about where the Oregon Ducks stand going into the first game of the 2022 season. With a matchup against the Georgia Bulldogs, the defending national champions, on a “neutral site” in Atlanta, it’s fair to say the Ducks are going to be an underdog going into the game. They have a young roster and will be led by a first-time head coach. A win would be among the best achievements in Oregon football history.

Despite that, are we sure they aren’t being undervalued going into the marquee matchup?

[lawrence-related id=24628]

This past week, Tipico Sportsbook put out its betting lines for a majority of the Week 1 games, and it listed the Ducks as a 17.5-point underdog, giving them plus-550 moneyline odds to win the game. In contrast, Georgia is listed at minus-1,000 to win the game.

Seems a bit high, no? That’s basically saying this game — one between two top-15 teams — is going to be a blowout. Despite the fact Georgia lost a majority of its historic defense from last season and had 15 players get drafted to the NFL this spring, the Bulldogs are projected to wax the Ducks.

Unfair to Oregon, or are Duck fans living outside of reality in believing that they might be able to keep things competitive with Dan Lanning’s former team?

[lawrence-related id=24608]

A lot of that depends on what happens with the quarterback position in Eugene. If Bo Nix wins the starting job, he can bring his SEC experience to the table and likely calm the rest of the youthful team, having been on that stage before. You also should look at Oregon’s defense. Health was a problem this spring, but assuming that most of those players will be able to play in September, the Ducks should stand a fighting chance, especially with Lanning and Tosh Lupoi at the helm.

While 17.5 points may be the right number, it may not be enough for an unproven Oregon team trying to take down the defending champs starting their title defense.

Or it may be a bit much, and give “glass-half-full” Duck fans a little bit of wiggle room when placing money on the game. If you’re a betting fan, it’s something to consider.

A look at Tank Bigsby’s Heisman Trophy odds per Tipico Sportsbook

Taking a look at where Tank Bigsby ranks on the list.

With less than 100 days until the Auburn Tigers kick off the season, we have officially entered full-blown football preview season ahead of summer workouts.

The Tigers are hoping that the season on the Plains ends much better than the 2021 campaign under first-year head coach Bryan Harsin. One of the key players for the team will be junior running back Tank Bigsby. The junior was the workhorse for the last two seasons and year three could be his best yet, provided it all goes to plan.

Bigsby will be looking to secure the Doak Walker Award given to the nation’s top running back and perhaps the fourth Heisman winner in Auburn history? The latter might be a bit tougher but Tank was listed on the initial odds for the prestigious award by Tipico Sportsbook.

The lines, courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook

Jeff Blake-USA TODAY Sports

At the top of the odds, you will find the usual suspects including CJ Stroud (+230), Bryce Young (+350), Caleb Williams (+750), and Bijan Robinson (+2000). A little further down the list is where you can find Auburn Tigers running back [autotag]Tank Bigsby[/autotag] at (+6000).

Auburn quarterback Zach Calzada also showed up on the list at (+10000).

Warriors vs. Mavericks Game 2: Prediction, point spread, odds, over/under, betting picks

Our prediction and best bet for Game 2 of the Western Conference finals, with odds from @Tipico Sportsbook.

After recording a blowout win in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals on Wednesday, the Golden State Warriors will have the chance to capitalize at home against the Dallas Mavericks in Game 2 on Friday, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck!

We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds and over/under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet at Tipico Sportsbook.

The game is set to tip at 6 p.m. PT and can be seen on TNT.

On the way to a 112-87 victory in Game 1, seven members of the Warriors tallied double-figure scoring efforts, with Steph Curry leading the way with 21 points. Along with a well-balanced offensive attack, Golden State’s defense smothered Luka Doncic, holding the Dallas star to only 20 points in Game 1.

If the Warriors can ride a potential repeat performance in Game 2, Steve Kerr’s squad can take a commanding 2-0 lead in the series before going on the road.
