How to Bet on College Football Props 2022 – NCAAF Betting Guide

When betting on any sport, many bettors like to stick to simple and easy-to-explain bets: moneylines, spreads, game totals, etc. But for an educated sports bettor, sticking to the simple stuff can be limiting, and there’s an entire world of prop bets out there for someone looking to dive into more complex or specific results.

This is especially true for prop betting in the world of college football, due to the huge number of teams, players and results that are possible. In the world of Division I football alone, there are 130 teams – that’s more than the MLB, NHL, NFL and NBA combined, and with that many teams come a huge selection of potential prop bets. 

When it comes to college football, prop bets are essentially bets on results that are not tied directly to the outcome of a game. They can be anything from player rush totals to team wins throughout a season, to Heisman Trophy nominations; because none of these have fixed results that are either guaranteed one way or the other ahead of time, they’re side wagers outside of the main wagers available on any major sport.

How to Bet on College Football Props

With prop bets being relatively unlimited in their scope, it’s important to pursue props that are trackable and justifiable through your betting method.

There are fun prop bets that can be based entirely on chance (like the results of a coin flip, or whether someone will make an All-American team at the end of a season), but the best prop bets are ones that have data backing them up and have positive value on the odds.

By using the tools and line listings available with OddsJam, it’s simple to find the most positive value and the best lines. 

But a good line is only as good as the quality of the bet. While finding positive value on a line is a huge part of being a successful sports bettor, it’s also very important to track existing results and expected results in order to determine the best available prop bets.

If a player from your favorite school has never rushed for over 100 yards in his first three years on the team, it’s fair to say that they likely won’t have a major breakout year as a senior unless the program has changed or there are indications that their role will change.

That means placing a prop bet expecting them to rush for over 100 yards in the first game of the season likely isn’t the best bet or the best utilization of your bankroll. 

Finding the Right NCAAF Bets

To be a profitable sports bettor, it’s absolutely key to learn to discern the good value bets from the bad value bets, and while there are often times when prop bets can look particularly appetizing (especially in comparison to main bets, like a spread or moneyline), smart bettors know when to dive into the world of props and when to hold off.

There is so much value in the prop bet world that it’s better to be patient and discerning of the right bets, rather than making the wrong bets in haste.

With as many college football games as there are on a regular basis, there are always undervalued lines or results that can be found, and that smart bettors can hone in on. Be sure to check out OddsJam’s NCAAF predictions and parlay picks for each day of college football action!
