<br>The [college football](https://wavedream.wiki/index.php/User:LeonoraSerna) world was expecting a March Madness kind of feel for the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff, with upsets galore. Instead, the four first-round matches underwhelmed, supplying a lot of time for [holiday shopping](https://palkwall.com/read-blog/27703_how-much-are-americans-spending-on-sports-betting.html). Favorites went a 4-0 versus the spread, consisting of 3 relatively non-competitive efficiencies by underdogs Indiana, SMU and Tennessee. Sportsbooks and the public don't appear to think so. At least in two cases.<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)

<br>Both Penn State-Boise State and Texas-Arizona State feature double-digit spreads preferring the lower-seeded Nittany Lions and Longhorns. And the latter has actually been a specifically [popular pick](https://cittaviva.net/read-blog/25128_for-sports-gambling-to-be-legalised.html) with the public. The Longhorns -12.5 is the most-bet side at [BetMGM nationally](https://thefreedommovement.ca/read-blog/19318_things-you-need-to-learn-about-rafting-adventures.html) in terms of total dollars as of Monday afternoon.<br>
|
||||
<br>"All the money is coming in on Texas," Seamus Magee, a BetMGM trader, composed in a text to The Athletic. "We require Arizona State to cover +13.5."<br>
|
||||
<br>The enthusiasm for the Longhorns reaches the [futures market](https://www.contraband.ch/read-blog/41819_things-you-need-to-understand-about-rafting-adventures.html) as well. 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' opponent, Arizona State - the greatest underdog amongst the College Football quarterfinal [matchups -](https://encone.com/read-blog/46235_why-every-cricket-fan-must-try-the-all-cricket-id-gaming-platform.html) is getting the most love from sharp wagerers. The Athletic talked with a number of bookies who had actually taken sharp action on No. 4 [Arizona](https://santosfcfansclub.com/read-blog/7617_warner-bros-discovery-sets-stage-for-potential-cable-deal-by.html) State - which had actually gotten as high as a 14-point underdog at some books versus No. 5 Texas - to press the line down to -12.5 or -12.<br>
|
||||
<br>John Murray, the executive director at The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, told us he got a wager on Arizona State +13.5 from a "very reputable player."<br>
|
||||
<br>Despite the fact that respected money has actually been available in on Arizona State to cover, sportsbooks will likely need the Sun Devils to do just that, as public wagerers are overdoing Texas.<br>
|
||||
<br>"We would like to see ASU cover, and then Texas win the video game, so we get our Arizona State liability off the futures book," Magee included.<br>
|
||||
<br>While the Texas game will be big for the books, it isn't the only game in the area. We talked with several bookmakers to break down where the wagering action is on the other 3 College Football quarterfinal matches. 6 Penn State (-11, 53) at No. 3 Boise State<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)

<br>This video game opened Penn State -10.5 at the majority of [sportsbooks](https://voggisper.com/read-blog/1213_things-you-need-to-know-about-rafting-adventures.html) and has crept up slightly to an agreement of -11. [sports betting](https://uconnect.ae/read-blog/173434_sports-minister-tracey-crouch-resigns-over-039-delay-039-to-betting-crackdown.html) on the spread is fairly divided at a lot of sportsbooks. The overall dollars wagered differs by book, as 52% of bets and 79% of the cash at [BetMGM nationally](https://superappsocial.com/read-blog/1540_why-every-cricket-fan-should-try-the-all-cricket-id-gaming-platform.html) are on Boise State -11, while 56% of bets but only 42% of the cash at [DraftKings](https://islider.ru/read-blog/41313_begin-winning-with-pcg-college-football-picks.html) is on Boise State -11.5. Penn State to cover is currently the second most [popular CFP](https://www.sportfansunite.com/read-blog/277_for-sports-gambling-to-be-legalised.html) wager in terms of total [tickets](https://thefreedommovement.ca/read-blog/19389_sport-betting-industry-looks-to-protect-itself.html) at [BetMGM books](https://accc.rcec.sinica.edu.tw/mediawiki/index.php?title=User:JonathonBarth).<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, [informed](https://www.hb9lc.org/wiki/index.php/User:SharynCross09) The Athletic. "I wouldn't be shocked if this line sneaks up a bit more before kickoff, but I currently welcome any Boise State cash."<br>

<br>Ohio State got the Oregon 2nd opportunity it desired. Are the Buckeyes ready for revenge?<br>[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG)

<br>No. 8 Ohio State (-2.5, 55.5) vs. No. 1 Oregon<br>[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/AviatorGameOnlineBET9JA)
|
||||
<br>Perhaps most surprising to the general public is that No. 1 [seed Oregon](https://wavedream.wiki/index.php/User:AthenaMattes792) 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 dog.<br>
|
||||
<br>So why is OSU favored?<br>
|
||||
<br>Several oddsmakers The [Athletic spoke](https://accc.rcec.sinica.edu.tw/mediawiki/index.php?title=User:JonathonBarth) with before the CFP [preliminary](https://accc.rcec.sinica.edu.tw/mediawiki/index.php?title=User:DemiElmer2043) had Ohio State atop their power ratings, and the lookahead lines for this [theoretical match](http://www.mizmiz.de/read-blog/83306_things-you-need-to-learn-about-rafting-adventures.html) were Ohio State -1 or -1.5. One oddsmaker pointed out that Ohio State playing up to its power score in its [dominant](https://ai.holiday/read-blog/12041_how-to-withdraw-from-bet9ja-8-step-guide-to-cash-in-your-wins.html) first-round win over Tennessee also 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 respected money pressed it to the existing line of -2.5. A a little higher majority of wagers at several sportsbooks, roughly 60%, are on the Ducks to cover, while near to 60% of the money has can be found in on the Buckeyes. This will likely be the highest-handle game of the 4 come kickoff.<br>
|
||||
<br>"We did take some reputable money 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 gone up 3 points from 52.5 to 55.5, which has been the biggest relocation of any of the totals. Money has actually all been on the over up until now.<br>
|
||||
<br>Joe Brennan, the CEO of Prime [sports betting](https://firstamendment.tv/read-blog/72257_how-to-play-bet9ja-online.html), a sportsbook in Ohio and New Jersey that deals with sharp wagerers, informed The Athletic that "Ohio State opened as a 1-point favorite, and immediately our Ohio gamblers thought 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>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
|
||||
<br>He did note, though, that the book had actually seen considerable buyback at the current line of Ohio State -2.5 and that 52% of the total dollars at his book were taking the points with the Ducks.<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 triggered the line flip? Put simply, the [sports betting](https://social.myschoolfriend.ng/read-blog/40944_sports-minister-tracey-crouch-resigns-over-039-delay-039-to-betting-crackdown.html) action.<br>[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG)
|
||||
<br>Although Georgia's starting QB Carson Beck is out for the season and has actually been replaced by relative unknown Gunner Stockton, bettors are gravitating towards the Bulldogs.<br>
|
||||
<br>Georgia to cover is the most popular against the spread wager at BetMGM books nationally in terms of ticket count (second-most popular by overall dollars bet), and it has actually been "one-way traffic on Georgia," according to Magee. Nearly 70% of bets are on the Bulldogs at several sportsbooks.<br>
