Take advantage of the best bets in college football Week 6 that feature two top-15 teams in favorable matchups and high-scoring offenses facing off.

Even though we are only five weeks into the 2019 college football season, there are many things that are still uncertain. Just when you think something is undeniable this year, it feels as if it almost immediately gets turned on its head. That makes pegging the best bets and beating the college football odds is increasingly difficult by the week.

Last week was a prime example of that, starting with the formerly No. 1 ranked Clemson Tigers. They went on the road to face a North Carolina team coming off of a loss to Appalachian State and were favored by more than four scores. And you might’ve thought that Dabo Swinney’s team was one of the best bets in college football. Instead, they won by a single point, needing to stop the Tar Heels on a two-point conversion attempt to secure the victory.

That wasn’t all that happened in that regard either. Wisconsin went from a dominant win over Michigan to struggling to pull away from Northwestern. Then there was USC looking hapless up against Washington. And let’s not forget Texas A&M being taken down to the wire against an Arkansas team that has looked quite bad for much of this season.

Given all of the uncertainty in college football, how should you approach pegging the best bets for Week 6? It’s simple, really: Look at the things that we do know and attack the odds that pertain to those things. Maybe that’s a bit diminishing but it’s what you have to do in a season where things have been highly unpredictable to this point.

With several sure things like Alabama’s offense and a fired-up Clemson team off this week, we have to look elsewhere. Even still, we have some options to beat the odds. These are the best bets for college football Week 6 that you can take all the way to the bank.
