College Football Predictions, ATS Picks | Saturday, Dec. 2
Today’s betting system was made to pick big games – it’s literally labeled “Ranked Matchups.”
It accounts for three things to determine the picks.
First, both teams must be ranked inside the Top 25. Check!
The second is the point spread range. Scanning our NCAAF odds page, all four college football picks today are a direct hit.
The third and final component is how we arrive at the pick.
Bet Labs’ Ranked Matchups PRO system recommends betting:
- Home (or neutral-site!) favorites
- When the spread is -3 or more
- Between AP Top 25 teams

Due to lack of neutral-site games during the regular season, the system usually picks home teams.
However, there’s indeed an ‘OR’ toggle on this filter for the rare occasion of neutral-site games, in which the angle recommends betting favorites when the line is -3 or more.
There’s value historically on these spreads when both teams are ranked inside the Top 25 – a treasure trove for conference championship between competent clubs.

Tulane was the best bet against the spread in college football last season.
The Green Wave admittedly struggled to perform to market expectations during the regular season (5-7 ATS), but here’s a good spot to back them as short favorites against SMU.
