Thursday Night College Football Betting Odds & Lines

College Football Thursday Night Betting

NCAA Thursday Night Football Beting

College football is the second most popular sport in the United States, behind the NFL. A big reason for that is the massive increase in live TV content. Once upon a time, Thursday night football would feature one game per week. These days, Thursday night football serves as a celebration to kick off a long weekend of action. It seems as though this year’s Thursday night college football schedule has featured more than just one game, but unfortunately many of the matchups have not been that competitive. The best that ESPN could come up with for Thursday Night Week 5 college football among the three games on the college football schedule, is a matchup between Temple and Tulsa.
