2026 College Football Betting Picks

Betting analysts predict Ohio State will defeat Iowa 28-13, citing the Buckeyes' strong defense against Iowa's conservative strategy. Heisman hopeful Jeremiah Smith is expected to perform well, but Ohio State continues to seek other reliable receivers.

Other notable picks include Wake Forest as a questionable favorite over Stanford despite their recent upset victory, Cincinnati catching points against Arizona despite a former bookmaker suggesting Arizona should be favored by 10 points, and Miami as a value play against Minnesota's strong but limited offense. catcrossgame.com
