Expect a conservative game plan and a lower total than the market might expect.</p> <p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/american-football/college-football/georgia-tech-at-colorado-8877839">Georgia Tech @ Colorado - Over 54.5 total points</a> - Colorado is rebuilding with just four returning starters. Georgia Tech brings a high-powered run game and consistency. The total is high, but both defences could start slowly and struggle.</p> <p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/american-football/college-football/auburn-at-baylor-8877832">Baylor @ Auburn - Baylor to win</a> - Baylor are considered the underdog in this game; Auburn has a new offence and is historically shaky in early contests. Baylor returns a top 20 offence and could look to exploit the difficulties Auburn typically experience.</p> <p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/american-football/college-football/boise-state-at-south-florida-9251129">Boise State @ South Florida - Over 63.5 total points</a> - Both teams play fast offence and like to put up significant point totals in each game they play. Boise State plays fast, and USF consistently ranks top 50 in scoring. Expect the over in this game if the offences click immediately.</p> <p>Continue to check out our 2025 College Football betting tips each week and bet safely with Sportsbet</p>
