College Football Public Bets Week 0: Bettors Love SMU and Hawaii
It took some time, but the week 0 moniker for the college football kick-off weekend is here to stay. Bettors have five selections on Saturday, with the Florida State vs. GA Tech tilt in Ireland highlighting the group.
With FSU getting a TON of attention as CFB title sleeper, the BetVega team is shocked that the handle for FSU bets is just 48%. Granted, the percentage of spread bet tickets favors FSU at 74%, but the money is truly what matters.
Additional CFB public betting action for week zero has a focus on SMU -25 vs. Nevada ad Hawaii as a massive 39 point favorite vs. lowly Delaware State. SMU is seeing 71% of the betting handle and Hawaii -39 comes in with 83% of the handle.
Looking ahead to week 1 of the college football season, we get a few one-sided public betting angles on Thursday and Friday night.
Coach Prime and his Colorado Buffs are 9-point chalk vs. a pesky North Dakota State program. Bettors LOVE the Buffs with 82% of the handle and 77% of bet tickets on Colorado.
On Friday 8/30/24, Oklahoma sits as a 42.5 point favorite over lowly Temple. Bettors are backing the Sooners to the tune of 85% of the spread betting handle.
Not to be outdone, Michigan State is receiving 92% of the spread handle as -11.5 point chalk over FAU.
To finish a Friday night where the public is loving each favorite, we have Wisconsin and Stanford both seeing betting handle action over 80%.
Additionally, NFL Week 1 public bets are available as well.
