NCAAF Betting in Colorado

NCAAF betting has been active and flourishing in Colorado since online sports betting was first legalized in the Centennial State, back in May 2020. Of all the sports featured online, college football is a major draw for sports bettors given the popularity of the game across the United States. The state of Colorado is certainly no exception to this rule.

Coloradans boast a great love of college football, which captures the attention of passionate fans on Saturdays from August right through to January.

The best up-and-coming football players in the USA outside of the NFL are on display, and the entertainment offered over the course of the term makes it must-watch action. The top wagering sites provide a variety of markets for NCAAF betting throughout the season all the way up to the National Championship game.

Colorado residents are hardly short of teams to back, although ultimate success from sides in the Centennial State has been fleeting. The Colorado Buffaloes won the only National Championship in their history in 1990, however, the result of the ranking is still up for debate.

We here at Colorado-Betting.com have identified the best sports betting sites in Colorado, all of which have great odds and markets on a weekly basis during the season, along with futures markets in the off-season. Here is a list of the top wagering sites currently available in the Centennial State:

The most notable NCAAF betting option and easiest to understand is the moneyline. With this wager, you simply pick which team you believe will win the game. Both sides are assigned a value by the sportsbook, dictating which one is the favorite and the underdog. The favorite will have a negative value and the underdog a positive value. The number reflects the payout you will receive, depending on your stake, from the sportsbook.

Wagering on the spread is also extremely popular in the online betting industry, especially on football. On this wager, both teams are assigned a value based on points on how the sportsbook believe the contest will play out for the favorite and the underdog. The favorite is assigned a negative value and the underdog a positive value. These signify the points’ differential between the two sides that the sportsbook believe will happen.

For example, if the Colorado Buffaloes are assigned a -6.5 value against the Nebraska Cornhuskers, a bet on the Buffaloes would be successful if they were to win by more than seven points. On the other hand, the Cornhuskers would be assigned a value of +6.5 and a winning bet would see Nebraska either win the game or avoid a defeat by seven points.

Over/unders are extremely useful for bettors online and are very simple to understand. The sportsbook will assign values for certain parameters in the game such as points or touchdowns and you simply select whether you believe it will be over or under that value. Player specific over/unders are not available in Colorado for NCAAF betting.

Parlay bets are a great way to find value from a small stake. Given the amount of games taking place on a Saturday, you can stack up multiple markets from several games into a big parlay bet on NCAAF betting. Same-game parlays allow you to select multiple markets from the one game to place into a wager to enhance your odds on facets such as the moneyline and over/under.

In Colorado residents can bet on all NCAAF teams across the United States, other than individual player prop markets. The teams that reside in Colorado will take pride and place for bettors, with Division I sides such as the Colorado Buffaloes, Colorado State Rams, Air Force Falcons and Northern Colorado Bears proving to be popular with CO citizens.

The top betting operators in the region will have a great array of markets and odds during the regular season and beyond. There are also a number of Division II teams in the Centennial State that Colorado residents can bet on, although the depth of markets will not be as great as the Division I teams.
