Smart college football picks can come from anywhere.
Whether it's a bigger matchup between Power Five conference teams, like Florida State vs. Georgia Tech, or games between FCS programs, value is value.
Saturday's college football Week 0 slate is interesting because there are savvy bets to make on the higher-profile games and, according to our Action PRO products and analysis, the two sharpest college football picks may very well be coming from North Alabama vs. Southeast Missouri State and Norfolk State vs. Florida A&M.
In this instance, I'm referring to "sharp" as picks made by professional bettors, which are tracked in real-time by our Action PRO tools.
Recreational bettors may be completely unaware, but the wiseguys have been quietly pounding these two unassuming matchups.
Let me explain in more detail.
