College football is finally back after the long summer hiatus. We are officially in Week 1 as we head into Saturday with a full slate of games on tap. We will focus on the Cincinnati Bearcats traveling to Fayetteville to face the rising Razorbacks of Arkansas. The Bearcats made noise last season as they made the rise all the way to the College Football Playoff.

The playoff went as expected when a team has to face Nick Saban and company for a chance at a title. Still a 27-6 loss defeat is not horrible. The Bearcats may have a hard time repeating their 2021 success with a considerable number of pieces now gone to either graduation or the NFL Draft. Most notably, Desmond Ridder will be playing on Sundays now and will not be available for the Bearcats to fall back on whenever a big play is needed.

The Bearcats lost a few key pieces on offense but will have their entire offensive line returning. The defense will be the focal point in the early going because they lost seven starters from their 2021 unit that was so dominant.

While many questions lie ahead for Cincinnati, Arkansas heads into this season with a lot of promise. They will bring back 12 starters overall, but they have brought in nine highly coveted transfers to round out their unit. They come in off a 9-4 season and with Sam Pittman at the helm will look for improvement in 2022.

The Saturday slate will showcase 50 games across the country and the Betfred Sportsbook will have all your wagering needs. Cincinnati is listed at -6.5 at most sportsbooks, including Betfred. Either side is listed with a -110 price tag attached to it. A $100 wager on the Razorbacks covering would net a return of $90.91

All new players who sign up at the Betfred Sportsbook and use the VIBONUS code will have an opportunity to earn up to $250 in free bets. To redeem the $250, you must place a wager of a minimum of $50 on -200 odds or greater on any sport of your choosing. Win or lose, the Betfred Sportsbook will deposit $100 in free bets into your account. An additional $50 in free bets will be deposited into your account the following Monday

To receive the other $100 worth of free bets, you must place two qualifying wagers over the next two weeks valued at $1 minimum each. Betfred boosts are not eligible for the promotion. Free bets stakes are not included in winnings.

The total is set to 54. Both the over and under are listed at -110. There are a lot of question marks surrounding both teams, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Betfred will have all available spreads, totals, first halves, second halves and even live bets throughout the season, but now is a great time to take advantage of their welcome promotions. Promotions change throughout the year, but being able to grab $250 in free bets is hard to beat.

Remember to utilize the bonus code VIBONUS when you sign up to redeem the free bets.

Until next time, enjoy the ride.
