<br>The college football world was [wishing](http://ringturbine.com80/index.php/User:TatianaChew4) for a March Madness type of feel for the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff, with upsets galore. Instead, the four first-round matchups underwhelmed, supplying plenty of time for holiday shopping. [Favorites](https://noaisocial.pro/read-blog/2345_score-big-wins-how-sports-betting-software-drives-growth-and-engagement.html) went an ideal 4-0 versus the spread, consisting of 3 relatively non-competitive performances by underdogs Indiana, SMU and Tennessee. Sportsbooks and the general public do not appear to think so. A minimum of in two cases.<br>
<br>Both Penn State-Boise State and Texas-Arizona State function double-digit spreads preferring the lower-seeded Nittany Lions and Longhorns. And the latter has actually been a specifically popular choice with the general public. The Longhorns -12.5 is the most-bet side at BetMGM nationally in regards to overall dollars since Monday [afternoon](https://innovator24.com/read-blog/23837_uk-betting-firms-gamble-on-united-states-after-sports-wager-ruling.html).<br>
<br>"All the cash is coming in on Texas," Seamus Magee, a BetMGM trader, wrote in a text message to The Athletic. "We need Arizona State to cover +13.5."<br>
<br>The enthusiasm for the Longhorns encompasses the futures market also. Bear in mind that enormous $1.5 million wager on Texas to win it all at +390 odds? The ticket is still out there at .<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
<br>Interestingly, the Longhorns' opponent, Arizona State - the most significant underdog amongst the College Football quarterfinal [matchups -](https://friendspo.com/read-blog/28891_just-how-much-are-americans-investing-in-sports-betting.html) is getting the most love from sharp bettors. The Athletic talked with several bookmakers who had actually taken [sharp action](https://southwales.com/read-blog/340_sports-minister-tracey-crouch-resigns-over-039-delay-039-to-betting-crackdown.html) on No. 4 Arizona State - which had gotten as high as a 14[-point underdog](https://micircle.in/read-blog/469_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) at some books against No. 5 [Texas -](http://archmageriseswiki.com/index.php/User:Maxie13T17) to push the line 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 respected player."<br>
<br>Although highly regarded money has actually been available in on Arizona State to cover, sportsbooks will likely require the Sun Devils to do simply that, as [public bettors](https://www.sportfansunite.com/read-blog/280_sports-minister-tracey-crouch-resigns-over-039-delay-039-to-betting-crackdown.html) 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 huge for the books, it isn't the only game in town. We talked with [numerous bookies](https://welcometohaiti.com/read-blog/18201_things-you-need-to-learn-about-rafting-adventures.html) to break down where the [sports betting](https://uconnect.ae/read-blog/173451_how-fantasy-betting-app-development-companies-and-sports-developers.html) action is on the other three College Football quarterfinal matches. 6 Penn State (-11, 53) at No. 3 Boise State<br>
<br>This game opened Penn State -10.5 at many sportsbooks and has [sneaked](https://noaisocial.pro/read-blog/2367_the-ins-and-outs-of-betting-on-the-nfl-draft.html) up somewhat to a consensus of -11. [sports betting](https://miggoo.com.br/read-blog/2641_the-ins-and-outs-of-betting-on-the-nfl-draft.html) on the spread is relatively divided at many sportsbooks. The total [dollars wagered](https://redmonde.es/read-blog/109_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) varies by book, as 52% of bets and 79% of the money at BetMGM nationally are on Boise State -11, while 56% of bets but just 42% of the money at [DraftKings](https://afrocinema.org/read-blog/44785_compare-amp-review-oddsjet-de.html) is on Boise State -11.5. Penn State to cover is currently the 2nd most popular CFP wager in regards to overall 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 would not be surprised if this line sneaks up a bit more before kickoff, however I presently invite any Boise State money."<br>
<br>Ohio State got the Oregon second possibility it [desired](https://customerscomm.com/read-blog/3709_just-how-much-are-americans-investing-in-sports-betting.html). Are the Buckeyes prepared for vengeance?<br>
<br>No. 8 Ohio State (-2.5, 55.5) vs. No. 1 Oregon<br>
<br>Perhaps most surprising to the general public is that No. 1 seed Oregon is an [underdog](https://whoosmind.com/read-blog/33881_the-ins-and-outs-of-betting-on-the-nfl-draft.html) versus No. 8 Ohio State. These groups met back on Oct. 7 in Eugene, and Oregon won 32-31 as a 3.5-point home pet.<br>
<br>So why is OSU preferred?<br>
<br>Several oddsmakers The [Athletic spoke](https://lubuzz.com/read-blog/94_score-big-wins-how-sports-betting-software-drives-growth-and-engagement.html) with before the CFP very first round had Ohio State atop their power ratings, 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 score in its dominant first-round win over [Tennessee](https://globalabout.com/read-blog/16953_things-you-need-to-learn-about-rafting-adventures.html) also formed his opening line.<br>[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG)
<br>Ohio State opened as a 1- or 1.5-point preferred (depending on the sportsbook) in this game before highly regarded cash pushed it to the present line of -2.5. A a little greater bulk of wagers at a number of sportsbooks, approximately 60%, are on the Ducks to cover, while close to 60% of the money has actually come in on the Buckeyes. This will likely be the highest-handle game of the 4 come kickoff.<br>
<br>"We did take some respected money at -1.5, rapidly went to -2.5 where it's remained," Gable said. "It's decent 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 greatest move of any of the overalls. Money has all been on the over up until now.<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
<br>Joe Brennan, the CEO of Prime [sports betting](http://wiki-tb-service.com/index.php?title=Benutzer:YolandaVillalobo), 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 immediately our Ohio gamblers believed we were too low. Our opening cost of Ohio State -1 has been [increased](https://terra.planetv.wtf/read-blog/721_.html) to -2.5 and the overall from 52 to 55."<br>
<br>He did note, though, that the book had actually seen substantial buyback at the current 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 favorite turned in this video 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 flip? Simply put, the [sports betting](https://peekz.eu/read-blog/212_sports-minister-tracey-crouch-resigns-over-039-delay-039-to-betting-crackdown.html) action.<br>
<br>Despite the fact that Georgia's beginning QB Carson Beck is out for the season and has been changed by relative unknown Gunner Stockton, wagerers are gravitating toward the Bulldogs.<br>
<br>Georgia to cover is the most popular versus the spread wager at BetMGM books nationally in regards to ticket count (second-most popular by total dollars wagered), and it has been "one-way traffic on Georgia," according to Magee. Nearly 70% of bets are on the Bulldogs at several sportsbooks.<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
