It may seem hard to believe, but this weekend will take us into Week 4 of the college football season. This is very often when things start to get really interesting, with the top teams leaving their easy opening week schedules behind in favor of the tougher games. There are some big ones on the schedule this coming Saturday and we are here to try and help you break down your picks.
We will be looking at SU selections, as well as the O/U, but we are going to get the ball rolling with a bunch of games where the point spread looks particularly appealing, so let’s get right into the College Football Week 4 betting action.
2019 College Football Week 4 ATS Betting Picks
2019 College Football Week 4 SU Betting Picks
LSU Tigers (-23 ½) at Vanderbilt Commodores
It is no real surprise that the Tigers are coming into this one with a perfect record, but what may be a little surprising is how good this team has been with the aerial attack. The Tigers are averaging a whopping 55 PPG through the first 3 weeks of the season and will be going against a Vanderbilt team that is winless and seemingly unable to defend the passing game.
LSU has covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 games on the road, but it is their record against fellow SEC teams that stands out here, going 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games against conference foes.
College Football Week 4 Betting Trends
- Tigers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games on the road
- Tigers are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games against an opponent in the Southeast conference
- Commodores are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games played on a Saturday
Boston College Eagles (-7) at Rutgers Scarlet Knights
You look at certain trend with a specific team and you see what looks to be a very obvious wager beginning to appear. It’s only when you dig a little deeper that you see that going the other way might be the best idea. That is the case with Boston College, who have only managed to cover the spread once in their last 7 attempts.
They are also just 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games versus teams from the Big Ten, but that all changes when they go against Rutgers. They have won 9-straight against the Scarlet Knights and have covered in 7 of those games. I like them to do it again this weekend.
College Football Week 4 Betting Trends
- Eagles are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games against Rutgers
- Eagles are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games against an opponent in the Big 10 conference
- Scarlet Knights are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games
- Scarlet Knights are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games played on a Saturday
Miami-OH Redhawks at Ohio State Buckeyes (-39)
3 weeks into the season and the Buckeyes are yet to lose a game with their new head coach in charge. They have also scored at least 42 points in each of those games, with their best outing being a 51-10 win over Indiana last weekend.
QB Justin Fields, who transferred in for Georgia, has been as advertised, and he looks set to go off again this weekend against the Redhawks. I’m not usually a fan of these larger spreads, but you have to like what Ohio State have done, going 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games played in September, not to mention 9-4 ATS in their last 13 Week 4 games.
College Football Week 4 Betting Trends
- Redhawks are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games
- Redhawks are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games played in September
- Buckeyes are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games
- Buckeyes are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games played in week 4
2019 College Football Week 4 Parlay Betting Picks
UCF Knights (-12) at Pittsburgh Panthers
It’s a new season, but for the UCF Knights, it’s the same old same old, as they have made the regular season look easy to this point. They are averaging 55 PPG, as well as over 300 YPG in the air and on the ground. In short, stopping this offense is proving to be next to impossible for any team that faces the Knights.
Pittsburgh are next and I think that the 12-point spread here is an absolute steal. If I only had to play one game this week, this would be it. UCF are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games, which includes a perfect 3-0 record this year.
College Football Week 4 Betting Trends
- Knights are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games

- Panthers are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games
