<br>The college football world was expecting a March Madness kind of feel for the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff, with upsets galore. Instead, the 4 first-round matches underwhelmed, offering a lot of time for holiday shopping. Favorites went an ideal 4-0 against the spread, consisting of three fairly non-competitive efficiencies by underdogs Indiana, SMU and Tennessee. [Sportsbooks](https://oolibuzz.com/read-blog/41601_online-betting-firms-gamble-on-soccer-mad-nigeria.html) and the general public don't seem to think 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 Lions and Longhorns. And the latter has actually been a particularly popular choice with the public. The Longhorns -12.5 is the most-bet side at BetMGM nationally in regards to total [dollars](https://thewion.com/read-blog/186655_how-to-attract-users-to-my-fantasy-sports-platform.html) as of Monday afternoon.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>"All the cash is can be found in on Texas," Seamus Magee, a BetMGM trader, wrote in a text message to The Athletic. "We require Arizona State to cover +13.5."<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
|
||||||
|
<br>The enthusiasm for the Longhorns encompasses the futures market too. 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 Caesars Sportsbook.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Interestingly, the Longhorns' challenger, [Arizona](http://archmageriseswiki.com/index.php/User:TraciKnaggs0) State - the most significant underdog amongst the College Football quarterfinal matches - is getting the most like from sharp wagerers. The Athletic spoke to a number of bookies who had taken sharp action on No. 4 Arizona State - which had gotten as high as a 14[-point underdog](https://afrocinema.org/read-blog/42274_sport-betting-industry-aims-to-protect-itself.html) at some books versus No. 5 [Texas -](http://ringturbine.com80/index.php/User:GloriaHooton) to press the line down to -12.5 or -12.<br>[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG)
|
||||||
|
<br>John Murray, the executive director at The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, told us he got a wager on [Arizona](https://bence.net/read-blog/6366_how-much-are-americans-spending-on-sports-betting.html) State +13.5 from a "really respected player."<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Even though highly regarded cash has actually come in on Arizona State to cover, sportsbooks will likely [require](https://app.theremoteinternship.com/read-blog/25850_best-u-s-sports-betting-sites-amp-sportsbooks-for-2024.html) the Sun Devils to do simply that, as [public gamblers](https://firstamendment.tv/read-blog/76011_the-history-of-the-nfl-and-how-to-bet-on-it.html) are overdoing Texas.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>"We would like to see ASU cover, and then Texas win the game, so we get our Arizona State liability off the futures book," Magee added.<br>
|

|
<br>While the Texas video game will be huge 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://friendza.enroles.com/read-blog/31629_things-you-need-to-understand-about-rafting-adventures.html) action is on the other 3 Football quarterfinal matches. 6 Penn State (-11, 53) at No. 3 Boise State<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>This game opened Penn State -10.5 at most sportsbooks and has sneaked up a little to an agreement of -11. [sports betting](https://www.amedaychats.com/read-blog/866_sports-minister-tracey-crouch-resigns-over-039-hold-up-039-to-betting-crackdown.html) on the spread is fairly divided at most sportsbooks. The total dollars bet differs by book, as 52% of bets and 79% of the cash at BetMGM nationally are on Boise State -11, while 56% of bets but only 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](http://bedfordfalls.live/read-blog/117042_things-you-need-to-understand-about-rafting-adventures.html).<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](https://www.womplaz.com/read-blog/92_missouri-sports-betting-ballot-measure-approved-by-voters.html). "I wouldn't be amazed if this line creeps up a bit more before kickoff, but I currently invite any Boise State money."<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Ohio State got the Oregon second [possibility](https://blkbook.blactive.com/read-blog/2288_score-big-wins-how-sports-betting-software-drives-growth-and-engagement.html) it desired. Are the Buckeyes ready for vengeance?<br>
|

|
<br>No. 8 Ohio State (-2.5, 55.5) vs. No. 1 Oregon<br>[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG)
|
||||||
|
<br>Perhaps most unexpected to the public is that No. 1 seed Oregon is an underdog against No. 8 Ohio State. These [teams satisfied](https://bikapsul.com/read-blog/1457_sports-minister-tracey-crouch-resigns-over-039-delay-039-to-betting-crackdown.html) back on Oct. 7 in Eugene, and Oregon won 32-31 as a 3.5-point home pet.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>So why is OSU favored?<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Several oddsmakers The Athletic talked with before the CFP very first round had Ohio State atop their power rankings, and the [lookahead lines](https://sportstalkhub.com/read-blog/20356_compare-amp-review-oddsjet-de.html) for this [theoretical match](https://ca.viquiblo.org/index.php/Usuari:HaroldChaney) were Ohio State -1 or -1.5. One oddsmaker pointed out that Ohio State playing up to its power rating in its [dominant first-round](https://juryi.sn/read-blog/12092_sport-betting-industry-looks-to-protect-itself.html) win over Tennessee also shaped his opening line.<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
|
||||||
|
<br>Ohio State opened as a 1- or 1.5-point favorite (depending upon the sportsbook) in this game before respected cash pushed it to the current line of -2.5. A slightly greater majority of wagers at numerous sportsbooks, approximately 60%, are on the Ducks to cover, while near 60% of the cash has actually come in on the Buckeyes. This will likely be the highest-handle game of the 4 come kickoff.<br>[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG)
|
||||||
|
<br>"We did take some highly regarded cash at -1.5, quickly went to -2.5 where it's stayed," [Gable stated](https://bigtoc.com/read-blog/8958_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html). "It's good two-way action at that number today. The overall has increased 3 points from 52.5 to 55.5, which has actually been the biggest 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://whoosmind.com/read-blog/33261_uk-betting-firms-gamble-on-united-states-after-sports-wager-ruling.html), a sportsbook in Ohio and New Jersey that caters to sharp bettors, told The Athletic that "Ohio State opened as a 1-point favorite, and right away our [Ohio bettors](https://www.athleticzoneforum.com/read-blog/767_compare-amp-review-oddsjet-de.html) thought we were too low. Our opening rate of Ohio State -1 has actually been increased 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, however, that the book had actually seen considerable buyback at the present 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 2nd round<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>No. 7 Notre Dame vs. No. 2 Georgia (-1, 45)<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>The favorite turned in this game, as Notre Dame opened a 1.5-point favorite and is currently a 1- or 1.5-point underdog at sportsbooks.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>What triggered the line turn? Basically, the [sports betting](https://octomo.co.uk/read-blog/6519_how-to-play-bet9ja-online.html) action.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Even though Georgia's beginning QB Carson Beck is out for the season and has been replaced by relative unknown Gunner Stockton, gamblers are gravitating toward 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 total dollars bet), and it has actually been "[one-way traffic](https://jamboz.com/read-blog/136_the-ins-and-outs-of-betting-on-the-nfl-draft.html) on Georgia," according to Magee. Nearly 70% of bets are on the Bulldogs at numerous sportsbooks.<br>
