    College Football Week 5 Early Odds, Picks & Prediction: UConn vs. Fresno State

    Remember:  Fresno State QB Jake Haener is out with a high-ankle sprain. The Bulldogs also may be without starting RT Dontae Bull (groin) and starting S Evan Williams (knee). Because of that, this line feels inflated. And you’d have to figure that HC Jeff Tedford’s prerogative is to bag a win as quickly and cleanly as possible here. If Fresno gets out to a lead, expect starters to get pulled aggressively early and the game plan to get vanilla quickly.

    What is Betting Against the Spread?

    Betting “against the spread” refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.

    What is an Over/Under Bet?

    Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.

    What is a Moneyline Bet?

    A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
