Miami Beach, FL (PRWEB) September 21, 2006 -- College football betting expert John Hoben of Point-Spreads.com, the premier provider of sports data, information, and analysis to the betting community, sat down today with Matthew Ross of online betting site BetUS.com, to discuss this weekend's NCAA Football matchups in anticipation of Point-Spreads.com's full coverage of College Football Week 4.

Ross says he expects another record breaking weekend as far as betting volumes are concerned on his firm's web site, and lends an insight into what to look out for, as well as where the "public's" money is going.

We asked him about some of the games the public will be watching this weekend, starting with Wisconsin at No. 6 Michigan:

"The spread on this game is currently Michigan -14 as you can see on the Point-Spreads.com Odds Board," Ross began. "Those who have followed the Wolverines the last several years know their unpredictability - even after a big win they are no less likely to follow up with a big loss. Hopefully they will stay grounded and not let down their guard against Wisconsin. Laying 14 points on an undependable team like the Wolverines is not your smartest play here, in my opinion. Keep your eye on Point-Spreads.com's live odds feed as we get closer to game day, and fire on Michigan if the number moves south by a half point, although this seems unlikely with the flow of bets steadily heading their way ... keep an eye out for any decent M/L numbers to appear," Ross recommends. Ross' advice seems unheeded at this point however, with major Sports Books reporting more than 85 percent of the action received so far going in Michigan's favor.

Continuing on to perhaps the biggest game of the weekend, Point-Spreads.com College Football Expert, John Hoben, assumed the lead, cautiously optimistic on No. 24 Penn State meeting No. 1 Ohio State: "This one should be a lock for Ohio State .... Penn State has been a disappointment in the Big 10," Hoben offered. "... however, I'm hesitant to actually call a sure thing here ... Notre Dame was asleep at the wheel earlier, thinking they were playing a push-over team; Ohio State could be another national contender knocked out in the first month if they think they can adopt the same attitude," Hoben warned. "I just noticed however that the opening line, -17 Ohio State, is starting to come down, with some books on the Point-Spreads.com board now showing -16.5 .... That's enough to make me get on the Ohio State side at this point ... that's my pick," Hoben finished. It seems the public agrees with Hoben as well, with some 80 percent to 85 percent of early bets being laid on #1 Ohio State according to Point-Spreads.com sources.

Asked about the 22-point spread stacked against Arizona when they meet the No.3 USC Trojans, Ross offered, "There are folks out there that actually think an upset is possible in this game, mostly those feeling that John Booty (QB) isn't playing at full-steam. I wouldn't go that far, but I will take the 22 points being offered here for Arizona. I say bet against the public on this one, keep your eye on the Point-Spreads.com screen and take the points on Arizona so long as the number doesn't go down."

Wrapping up our conversation with Alabama vs. Arkansas (Arkansas opened as a 1.5 point favorite), Hoben concluded the conversation with, "this will be a low scoring game. I always take the small favorite in these situations."
