<br>The [college football](http://www.larsaluarna.se/index.php/User:MaxwellC63) world was hoping for a March Madness type of feel for the [first-ever](https://seenoor.com/read-blog/436_sport-betting-industry-aims-to-protect-itself.html) 12-team College Football Playoff, with upsets galore. Instead, the four first-round matches underwhelmed, providing lots of time for [vacation shopping](http://archmageriseswiki.com/index.php/User:Anya08A79785728). [Favorites](https://2flab.com/read-blog/846_sport-betting-industry-aims-to-protect-itself.html) went a perfect 4-0 against the spread, [including](https://lubuzz.com/read-blog/89_how-to-attract-users-to-my-fantasy-sports-platform.html) 3 fairly non-competitive efficiencies by underdogs Indiana, SMU and Tennessee.

<br>Both Penn State-Boise State and Texas-Arizona State function double-digit spreads preferring the [lower-seeded Nittany](https://camlive.ovh/read-blog/2360_for-sports-gambling-to-be-legalised.html) Lions and Longhorns. And the latter has been an especially popular choice with the general public. The [Longhorns](https://unightlifetalk.site/read-blog/2638_sports-minister-tracey-crouch-resigns-over-039-hold-up-039-to-betting-crackdown.html) -12.5 is the most-bet side at BetMGM nationally in terms of overall dollars as of Monday afternoon.<br> |

<br>"All the cash is coming in on Texas," Seamus Magee, a BetMGM trader, [composed](https://pittsburghtribune.org/read-blog/132026_sport-betting-industry-wants-to-protect-itself.html) in a text to The Athletic. "We require Arizona State to cover +13.5."<br>[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG) |
||||
<br>The enthusiasm for the Longhorns extends to the futures market too. Keep in mind that enormous $1.5 million wager on Texas to win everything at +390 odds? The ticket is still out there at Caesars Sportsbook.<br> |
||||
<br>Interestingly, the Longhorns' challenger, Arizona State - the most significant underdog amongst the College Football quarterfinal matches - is getting the most love from sharp gamblers.

||||
<br>Despite the fact that reputable cash has actually come in on Arizona State to cover, [sportsbooks](https://jimsusefultools.com/index.php/User:LisaCastanon2) will likely need the Sun Devils to do simply that, as [public bettors](https://www.etymologiewebsite.nl/wiki/Gebruiker:LourdesMoen4) are piling on Texas.<br> |

<br>"We would love to see ASU cover, and after that Texas win the game, so we get our Arizona State liability off the futures book," Magee added.<br> |

<br>While the will be [substantial](https://noaisocial.pro/read-blog/2353_exploring-the-sports-betting-industry-putting-ideas-into-practice.html) for the books, it isn't the only game in town. We chatted with several bookies to break down where the [sports betting](https://profesional.id/read-blog/127_things-you-need-to-understand-about-rafting-adventures.html) action is on the other 3 College Football quarterfinal [matchups](https://younivix.com/read-blog/29941_sports-minister-tracey-crouch-resigns-over-039-hold-up-039-to-betting-crackdown.html). 6 Penn State (-11, 53) at No. 3 Boise State<br> |

The total dollars bet differs by book, as 52% of bets and 79% of the money at [BetMGM nationally](https://demo.wowonderstudio.com/read-blog/2603_sports-minister-tracey-crouch-resigns-over-039-hold-up-039-to-betting-crackdown.html) are on Boise State -11, while 56% of bets however only 42% of the cash at DraftKings is on Boise State -11.5.

<br>"We opened Penn State -10.5 and are resting on Penn State -11," Thomas Gable, sportsbook director at The Borgata in Atlantic City, [informed](https://www.opentx.cz/index.php/U%C5%BEivatel:JanetteAngel) The [Athletic](https://surgiteams.com/index.php/User:KatiaBoone0138).

||||
<br>So why is OSU favored?<br> |
||||
<br>Several oddsmakers The Athletic spoke to before the CFP preliminary had Ohio State atop their power scores, and the lookahead lines for this hypothetical matchup were Ohio State -1 or -1.5. One oddsmaker discussed that Ohio State playing up to its power rating in its dominant first-round win over Tennessee likewise shaped his opening line.<br> |

<br>Ohio State opened as a 1- or 1.5-point favorite (depending on the sportsbook) in this video game before [reputable cash](https://taar.me/read-blog/8459_how-much-are-americans-spending-on-sports-betting.html) pushed it to the present line of -2.5. A somewhat higher majority of wagers at a number of sportsbooks, roughly 60%, are on the Ducks to cover, while close to 60% of the cash has actually come in on the [Buckeyes](https://energypowerworld.co.uk/read-blog/144383_the-ins-and-outs-of-betting-on-the-nfl-draft.html).

||||
<br>"We did take some respected cash at -1.5, rapidly went to -2.5 where it's remained," Gable said. "It's good two-way action at that number right now. The overall has actually gone up 3 points from 52.5 to 55.5, which has actually been the most significant move of any of the overalls. Money has actually all been on the over up until now.<br> |

<br>Joe Brennan, the CEO of Prime [sports betting](https://kenyansocial.com/read-blog/1322_for-sports-gambling-to-be-legalised.html), a sportsbook in Ohio and New Jersey that caters to sharp gamblers, told The Athletic that "Ohio State opened as a 1-point preferred, and instantly our Ohio bettors thought we were too low. Our opening cost of Ohio State -1 has actually been driven up to -2.5 and the overall from 52 to 55."<br> |

<br>What triggered the line flip? Simply put, the [sports betting](https://droidt99.com/read-blog/8208_how-much-are-americans-spending-on-sports-betting.html) action.<br> |
||||
<br>Even though Georgia's starting QB Carson Beck is out for the season and has been replaced by relative unknown Gunner Stockton, wagerers are gravitating towards the Bulldogs.<br> |
||||
<br>Georgia to cover is the most popular against the spread wager at BetMGM books nationally in regards to ticket count (second-most popular by overall dollars bet), and it has been "one-way traffic on Georgia," according to Magee. Nearly 70% of bets are on the Bulldogs at multiple sportsbooks.<br> |
