There were initially 11 picks in Week 1 that fit this particular weather model.
As the college football forecasts shaped throughout the week, that number continued to drop – and it’s now at five games.
I’ll be completely honest: I did not expect Florida vs. Utah of all matchups to fit the weather system Thursday.
Tonight’s Florida vs. Utah game is a match for Bet Labs’ Weather NCAAF Overs system, marking a suggested bet on the Gators vs. Utes over the total.
This college football weather angle has value on:
- The over
- In non-conference games
- When the temperature is hot (85-106 degrees)
- With limited wind (0-10 mph)
The Salt Lake City forecast Thursday for Florida vs. Utah fits the bill.
