Just like the NFL, NCAA college football's most common bet is a point spread. This type of bet equalises the opportunity of winning a bet. The line, or point spread, for college football, is usually released days before the actual match. So if you're looking to bet on the college football postseason action Pickswise has you covered. While the landscape of the college football postseason and bowl games is not yet clear, the NCAA seems committed to having as close to a normal season as possible with those teams and conferences that remain committed to playing football this fall. Sportsbooks set a number of total points expected to be scored in a college football game. As a bettor you would need to bet on whether the actual combined number of points scored will be more or less than the set total. Let's say Wisconsin is playing Michigan and the total is set at 58.5. Mind you, this is also the short list. Earlier this week the folks at SportsBetting.ag had 1,094 prop markets offering 2,266 different ways to bet on the game. Feel free to check it out if you.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — An NCAA official voiced concern Thursday over sports betting on the performance of individual college athletes, and she suggested that gambling regulators consider restrictions on such wagers to protect the integrity of the games.
Speaking at the Sports Betting USA 2020 online seminar, Naima Stevenson-Starks, the NCAA's vice president for law, policy and governance, expressed concern about so-called proposition bets involving college athletes.
This type of bet concerns whether a given player will or won't surpass a certain threshold during a game, like whether a quarterback will throw 3 touchdowns or whether a running back will rush for 100 yards.
'Unlike the professional leagues, we are now talking about student-athletes attending class with people who may be betting on their efforts on the field or the court,' Stevenson-Starks said. 'That's a concern. If you can think about missing a field goal or a free throw that might make the difference in a result, that's not the most settling thought.'
The NFL expressed similar concern about prop bets on its own players a few years ago. But NFL player props are a much larger segment of the sports betting industry than those on college players, something Stevenson-Starks acknowledged.
A survey Thursday of leading U.S. sportsbooks found little in the way of college player props, although they were more readily available on unlicensed offshore sites that are beyond the reach of U.S. regulators.
A spokeswoman for DraftKings said its college props usually involve which team scores first or last, and how many points a team will score. The lone game listed on the site for Thursday, the Colorado State-Boise State football game, did not offer bets on any individual player.
FanDuel was offering a bet on whether Colorado State quarterback Patrick O'Brien would throw for more than or fewer than 275.5 yards.
Legal sports betting is quickly spreading in the U.S. With six additional states approving or expanding sports betting in this month's elections, more than half the country is poised to have legal sports betting by the end of next year.
New Jersey is in the process of removing its restrictions on college sports betting to allow bets on New Jersey teams and all games played in the state.
The NCAA's concern over player bets resonated with at least one state gambling regulator participating in Thursday's seminar. Cathy Judd-Stein, chairwoman of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, said one of the things her state will consider in any future legislation to legalize sports betting is 'the safety of amateur athletes to protect them against exploitation.'
Stevenson-Starks also voiced renewed support for federal regulation of sports betting that would replace the current system of state-by-state supervision. A push to enact such a law soon after a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2018 that cleared the way for all 50 states to offer sports betting has languished in the 2 1/2 years that followed.

A federal law 'would be the most desirable. I don't think the momentum is there for that to be resurrected, but it is something that should be on the radar,' she said. 'The state-by-state approach is more difficult for an institution like the NCAA.'
