Expert College Football Picks & CFB Predictions
College-Football-Picks.com provides expert college football picks, CFB predictions and weekly football handicapping analysis from Dennis Stagliano and DJ of Gridiron Gold.
Our football handicapping roots date back to 1980. Today, Dennis and DJ continue that tradition by analyzing college football matchups, point spreads and betting opportunities throughout the season.
College Football Picks from Dennis Stagliano & DJ
Every college football Saturday brings dozens of games and hundreds of betting decisions. Our job is not to pick every game on the board. We concentrate on the matchups where our handicapping identifies the strongest opportunities.
Dennis and DJ handicap games independently, giving college football bettors two different perspectives when choosing their weekly selections.
Dennis Stagliano College Football Picks
Dennis Stagliano has been handicapping football since 1980. His sports service began as Eastern Sports Service and later became Gridiron Gold.
His handicapping history includes winning the 1981 AADSS handicapping championship, finishing runner-up in 1982 and winning the 1984 Experts Bowl handicapping competition with a documented 34-18 record.
Dennis continues to handicap college football each week, concentrating on point spreads, matchups, team strengths and weaknesses, situational factors and betting value.
Dennis Stagliano's 2026 College Football Picks are available throughout the season.
DJ College Football Picks
DJ brings another handicapping perspective to College-Football-Picks.com and Gridiron Gold. He analyzes the weekly college football schedule independently and selects the games he believes offer the best opportunities against the point spread.
Having Dennis and DJ handicap games separately gives customers a choice between two sets of college football selections rather than simply duplicating the same picks under different names.
DJ's 2026 College Football Picks are available throughout the season.
College Football Picks Against the Spread
Picking the team most likely to win a football game is different from handicapping that game against the point spread.
A favorite can win the game and still fail to cover. An underdog can lose the game and still be the winning betting selection. That is why our analysis focuses on the betting line as well as the matchup itself.
We consider factors such as team strength, quarterback play, offensive and defensive matchups, injuries, coaching, scheduling situations, home-field advantage, weather and the point spread before making a selection.
Weekly CFB Picks Throughout the Season
College football changes every week. Early-season non-conference games give way to conference schedules, rivalry games and championship races.
Later in the year, the handicapping environment changes again with conference championship games, bowl season and the College Football Playoff.
College-Football-Picks.com follows the season from the opening weeks through the postseason with college football picks, predictions and information for football bettors.
