Stone Cold Locks

Better Bettor has lessons and topics on what helps you become a better bettor, but we get it sometimes you just want some locks and that’s why we teamed up with Brandon Kravitz to bring you his Stone-Cold Locks for College Football!

Army team total OVER 40.5 vs UAB- A little out in left field, I understand this, but value is value, and this one is juicy. UAB’s head coach is Trent Dilfer and apparently the team hates him, many around college football already believe that the team has quit on him and the result last week would indeed back that up. This team gave up 71 points to Tulane. 71! They’ve lost 4 in a row and I guess Trent has lost the team in the process. Well, on the other side this week is an Army team that ain’t your grand-daddy’s Army, this team can straight up score. They’re 5-0 and they’ve scored over 40 3x out of 5. Major smash spot, I like Army to score at will here. Over 40.5 points for the Black Knights. Lock it up!

Texas -15 vs OU- Red River Rivalry inside the walls of the SEC for the first time in the history of this matchup. The reason I like Texas here, is because they’re the only ones playing SEC football at this juncture. Oklahoma might be cashing those SEC checks, but they’re not playing ball like an SEC school. The offense is a mess, it took a miracle to beat Auburn 2 weeks ago, and I love that we’re getting Quinn Ewers back for Texas – love me some Arch Manning, but Ewers is running this team to perfection – these 2 programs might be blood feud rivals, but Texas is simply on a different playing field right now. Give the Longhorns minus the points, lock it up!

Jaguars +2 vs Bears- London game, early Lock on a Sunday, gotta love that. Trevor and company finally got off the schneid and picked up their first win of the season, even if it was a grind to get there. Love what I saw from Trevor Lawrence in that game, he finally played with the moxy of a tier 1 QB, and they seem to have really found something with Tank Bigsby as their primary runner. Also, some numbers that work in our favor here – Caleb Williams becomes the 6^th rookie QB to start a London game, the previous 5 are 0-5 against the spread, and it won’t surprise you to learn – the Jags are quite good in London, they’ve won 3 out of their last 4 overseas. Not phased by the travel because they’re used to it, not taking in the sights and sounds of London – because they’ve already done it, and they found their groove last week. Backing the London Jags here +2, lock it up!

Commanders +6.5 @ Ravens- I’m not going to bother telling you how well underdogs of 6 or more have done against the spread this season…Oh, who am I kidding, of course I am! Dogs of 6 or more are now 16-2 ATS through 5 weeks, that’s 89%! But this isn’t just about that, this is about fading Lamar Jackson as a big favorite and fading the Ravens off an OT game. Here are the numbers that are important here – Lamar as a favorite of more than 3, 7-18 ATS. He is an underdog or short favorite darling, when expectations get too bloated, he struggles. Also, Teams off OT without extra rest, 42% cover rate historically. Jayden Daniels will be able to score on this defense, and the game will be close at the end because of it. Commanders +6.5, lock it up! 

Steelers @ Raiders UNDER 37- Like taking candy from a baby really. These 2 offenses could not be more stalled out than they currently are. The Raiders have scored 20 or less in 2 straight and just benched their QB, and Justin Fields came crashing back down to earth in a big way on Sunday night football. George Pickens has an attitude problem…its all bad. The only things I trust in this game are TJ Watt and Maxx Crosby. Think the #’s too low? Its actually on your side if you bet this with me. NFL totals of 37 or less are 33-12-1 (73%) to the under since 2020. UNDER 37 in this barn burner. Lock it up!

Lions -3 @ Cowboys- Very cute what Dallas did last week but they had no business winning that game against the Steelers. This team is a walking disaster, a ticking time bomb, and the best team to expose all of their flaws, is the team they face on Sunday. Detroit is fresh off a bye and they are way too much for Dallas…the Cowboys rank 23^rd in the NFL at defending the run, how do you think that’s gonna play in this one? The betting trends with these QB’s in this spot is too good to pass up. Jared Goff off extra rest has covered 7 straight, as a road favorite, last 7 games he’s 6-1. Dak beats up on bad teams, but he’s just 19-33 ATS against teams above .500. This is all Lions here. Lock it up!
