With an interesting Monday Night Football matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers, along with the New York Yankees taking on the Boston Red Sox in a winner-take-all Wild Card matchup on Tuesday, college football’s Week 6 slate is more under-the-radar than usual.
Well, it certainly is for recreational college football bettors, but for sharps, not so much.
Professionals are already taking whacks at a handful of Saturday’s Week 6 matchups, including Maryland vs. Ohio State and Notre Dame vs. Virginia Tech.
Let’s take a detailed look at four college football Week 6 games that wiseguys are already hammering.
College Football Week 6 Betting Predictions

Wyoming vs. Air Force
7 p.m. ET | CBS Sports
We can certainly file this under the “random sharp action” umbrella because casual bettors are bypassing this matchup entirely, while pros have hit it early and often.
Air Forced opened as a 3.5-point favorite against Wyoming and sharp money has driven this spread all the way up to -6 in less than two days.
South Alabama vs. Texas State
7 p.m. ET | ESPN+
Did you say random sharp action?
In another game that you likely won’t hear about at the water cooler this week, professional bettors have slammed South Alabama from -1 through the key number of -3 and up to a consensus of -3.5 across the market.
Notre Dame vs. Virginia Tech
7:30 p.m. ET | ACC Network
Notre Dame dropped its first game of the season last week against Cincinnati and respected bettors are drinking from the “fade the Irish” well already in Week 6.
DraftKings Sportsbook opened Virginia Tech at +3 on Sunday and sharps wasted no time pounding the Hokies to +1 at most shops.
