2025 College Football win total best bets, predictions by Chris "The Bear" Fallica

"Bear Bets" are real wagers that Chris "The Bear" Fallica is actually making.

There are just a few months left until kickoff, which means it’s almost time for fans to switch their focus back to college football. 

And with that, sportsbooks have released win totals for the regular season. 

Let's dive into my favorite picks for how a few teams will perform this upcoming season. 

Florida State Under 6.5 wins

I’ve already written this up at U7.5 (-120). Under 7.5 wins is now north of (-200) at some books, so I will come back with U6.5 at plus money. 

The Seminoles were an embarrassing 2-10 last year. It was horrific in every sense of the word. FSU didn’t score more than 21 points against a single FBS team, and only three of its 10 losses came within one score. The QB position was a massive hole, as D.J. Uiagalelei was a disaster. To help fix the offensive woes, Gus Malzahn was brought in to run the offense and Boston College castoff Thomas Castellanos will be the new QB. 

Can Castellanos stand up to a year of running in Malzahn’s offense? That remains to be seen, as does whether the Noles have any playmakers on offense. 

Will FSU be as bad as 2-10 again? No. But I don’t know how much better it will be, as it has non-conference games on the road against Alabama and Florida, conference road games at Clemson and NC State, as well as facing Miami, which comes to Doak Campbell Stadium. That’s probably four — if not five — losses right there. And after last year, are we willing to give the Noles the benefit of the doubt at Virginia or Stanford? Or at home vs. Pitt, Wake Forest and Virginia Tech? I sure am not. 

This could very easily turn into another bowl-less season for the Noles. 

PICK: Florida State (+110, DK) Under
