2025-2026 College Football Friday Night Betting Online

NCAA Friday Night Football Beting

Each year, the 2025 college football schedule for Friday night action reveals that major colleges are seeking any means and path to generate revenue, while schools with lower profiles are looking for additional exposure. Naturally, lesser-known teams from the Group of Five conferences are eager to take the field on Friday nights when the bigger brands are off. This strategy allows them the full attention of fans, gamblers, and, most importantly, prospective recruits. Teams that would normally be ignored on a full Saturday find that the entire nation is focused on their Friday night matchups.

One of the most important Week 1 Friday night games is the Auburn Tigers at the Baylor Bears. Initially, Auburn fans celebrated the hire of head coach Hugh Freeze. However, the results have not met expectations. Now, Freeze faces a critical season that could determine his future. So too has Baylor head coach Dave Aranda flirted with a firing squad date. Aranda pulled Baylor together at the end of last season, but many fans and donors are no longer convinced that he is the answer.

Also in Week 1, the Colorado Buffaloes will host the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in a game that is expected to draw massive attention. Colorado head coach Deion Sanders must now prove that he can rebuild a program on the fly after losing his son, QB Shedeur, and the two-way Heisman Trophy-winning superstar Travius Hunter.
