<br>The [college football](https://disgaeawiki.info/index.php/User:NovellaKell483) world was expecting a March [Madness](https://devnew.judefly.com/index.php?link1=read-blog&id=3251_compare-amp-review-oddsjet-de.html) kind of feel for the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff, with upsets galore. Instead, the four first-round matchups underwhelmed, supplying lots of time for holiday shopping. Favorites went a perfect 4-0 against the spread, consisting of three fairly non-competitive performances by underdogs Indiana, SMU and Tennessee. [Sportsbooks](https://wiki.insidertoday.org/index.php/User:HarrisonRudnick) and the general public don't seem to believe so. A minimum of in 2 cases.<br> |
|||
<br>Both Penn State-Boise State and Texas-Arizona State function double-digit spreads favoring the [lower-seeded Nittany](https://octomo.co.uk/read-blog/6488_just-how-much-are-americans-investing-in-sports-betting.html) Lions and Longhorns. And the latter has actually been a specifically [popular choice](http://ringturbine.com80/index.php/User:GloriaHooton) with the public. The Longhorns -12.5 is the [most-bet](https://lets.chchat.me/read-blog/1968_best-u-s-sports-betting-sites-amp-sportsbooks-for-2024.html) side at [BetMGM nationally](https://www.characterlist.com/read-blog/900_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) in terms of overall dollars as of Monday afternoon.<br>[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG) |
|||
<br>"All the money is being available in on Texas," Seamus Magee, a BetMGM trader, wrote in a text to The Athletic. "We require Arizona State to cover +13.5."<br> |
|||
<br>The interest for the Longhorns extends to the [futures](https://sportstalkhub.com/read-blog/20489_exploring-the-sports-betting-industry-putting-ideas-into-practice.html) market too. Keep in mind that huge $1.5 million wager on Texas to win it all at +390 ? The ticket is still out there at Caesars Sportsbook.<br> |
|||
<br>Interestingly, the Longhorns' opponent, [Arizona](https://iuridictum.pecina.cz/w/U%C5%BEivatel:GeorgePiddington) State - the most significant underdog amongst the College Football quarterfinal matchups - is getting the most like from sharp wagerers. The Athletic spoke with a number of bookies who had taken sharp action on No. 4 Arizona State - which had actually gotten as high as a 14-point underdog at some books against No. 5 Texas - to push the line down to -12.5 or -12.<br> |
|||
<br>John Murray, the executive director at The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, [informed](http://social.redemaxxi.com.br/read-blog/1662_things-you-need-to-know-about-rafting-adventures.html) us he got a wager on Arizona State +13.5 from a "extremely highly regarded gamer."<br> |
|||
<br>Even though reputable money has actually come in on [Arizona](https://strimsocial.net/read-blog/19027_how-are-betting-odds-calculated.html) State to cover, sportsbooks will likely require the Sun Devils to do simply that, as public bettors are piling on Texas.<br> |
|||
<br>"We would like to see ASU cover, and after that Texas win the video game, so we get our Arizona State liability off the futures book," Magee added.<br> |
|||
<br>While the Texas video game will be big for the books, it isn't the only video game in town. We talked with multiple bookies to break down where the [sports betting](https://krazzykross.com/read-blog/1521_best-u-s-sports-betting-sites-amp-sportsbooks-for-2024.html) action is on the other three College Football quarterfinal matchups. 6 Penn State (-11, 53) at No. 3 Boise State<br> |
|||
<br>This [video game](https://socialsmerch.com/read-blog/10489_the-ins-and-outs-of-betting-on-the-nfl-draft.html) opened Penn State -10.5 at a lot of sportsbooks and has [approached](http://wiki.faramirfiction.com/index.php?title=User:Giuseppe38K) slightly to a consensus of -11. [sports betting](https://alapcari.com/read-blog/1252_for-sports-gambling-to-be-legalised.html) on the spread is fairly divided at the [majority](https://lovn1world.com/read-blog/2435_sport-betting-industry-looks-to-protect-itself.html) of sportsbooks. The overall dollars wagered differs by book, as 52% of bets and 79% of the money at BetMGM nationally are on Boise State -11, while 56% of bets however just 42% of the cash at DraftKings is on Boise State -11.5. Penn State to cover is presently the 2nd most popular CFP wager in terms of total tickets at BetMGM books.<br> |
|||
<br>"We opened Penn State -10.5 and are sitting on Penn State -11," Thomas Gable, sportsbook director at The Borgata in Atlantic City, told The Athletic. "I wouldn't be amazed if this line creeps up a bit more before kickoff, however I currently welcome any Boise State cash."<br> |

<br>Ohio State got the Oregon second possibility it wanted. Are the Buckeyes all set for revenge?<br> |
|||
<br>No. 8 Ohio State (-2.5, 55.5) vs. No. 1 Oregon<br> |
|||
<br>Perhaps most unexpected to the general public is that No. 1 seed Oregon is an underdog versus No. 8 Ohio State. These groups fulfilled back on Oct. 7 in Eugene, and Oregon won 32-31 as a 3.5-point home pet dog.<br> |
|||
<br>So why is OSU favored?<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig) |
|||
<br>Several oddsmakers The Athletic spoke to before the [CFP preliminary](https://micircle.in/read-blog/707_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) had Ohio State atop their power rankings, and the lookahead lines for this theoretical matchup were Ohio State -1 or -1.5. One oddsmaker mentioned 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 highly regarded money pressed it to the [current](https://olps.co.za/wiki/User:KareemFrame66) line of -2.5. A somewhat greater majority of wagers at a number of sportsbooks, roughly 60%, are on the Ducks to cover, while near to 60% of the cash has come in on the Buckeyes. This will likely be the highest-handle video game of the 4 come [kickoff](https://youtoosocialnetwork.com/read-blog/1292_things-you-need-to-know-about-rafting-adventures.html).<br> |
|||
<br>"We did take some respected cash at -1.5, rapidly went to -2.5 where it's stayed," Gable said. "It's good two-way action at that number today. The overall has actually gone up 3 points from 52.5 to 55.5, which has actually been the greatest move of any of the overalls. Money has all been on the over so far.<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig) |
|||
<br>Joe Brennan, the CEO of Prime [sports betting](https://drapia.org/11-WIKI/index.php/User:AlvaL13516496), a sportsbook in Ohio and New Jersey that caters to sharp gamblers, informed The Athletic that "Ohio State opened as a 1-point favorite, and instantly our [Ohio wagerers](https://messengerkivu.com/read-blog/2363_things-you-need-to-know-about-rafting-adventures.html) believed we were too low. Our opening price of Ohio State -1 has been driven up to -2.5 and the total from 52 to 55."<br> |
|||
<br>He did note, however, that the book had seen substantial buyback at the existing line of Ohio State -2.5 which 52% of the overall dollars at his book were taking the points with the Ducks.<br> |
|||
<br>GO DEEPER<br> |
|||
<br>The most likely upsets for the College Football Playoff's second round<br> |
|||
<br>No. 7 Notre Dame vs. No. 2 Georgia (-1, 45)<br> |
|||
<br>The preferred turned in this game, as Notre Dame opened a 1.5-point preferred and is currently a 1- or 1.5-point underdog at sportsbooks.<br> |
|||
<br>What caused the line turn? Basically, the wagering action.<br> |
|||
<br>Despite the fact that Georgia's starting QB Carson Beck is out for the season and has actually been changed by relative unknown Gunner Stockton, wagerers are gravitating toward 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 total dollars bet), and it has actually been "one-way traffic on Georgia," according to Magee. Nearly 70% of bets are on the Bulldogs at multiple sportsbooks.<br> |
