Week 9 has some terrific games in which online bookies should pay attention to.
The 3 that figure to garner the most attention to are Miami at Notre Dame, Texas Tech at TCU and 6 Nebraska at Wisconsin.
Miami -2.5 at Notre Dame +2.5
This used to be one of the premier rivalries in college football. When this was a rivalry, Jimmie Johnson coached Miami while Lou Holtz coached Notre Dame.
That was in the 1980’s. Since that time, neither Notre Dame nor Miami has been what many would describe as a premier college football program.
Not that it matters to per head agents in this Saturday’s battle between the Hurricanes and the Irish.
The reason this is one that bookmakers should keep tabs on is because the odds have taken such a dramatic turn so early in the betting.
Notre Dame opened as a -1-point favorite. The Irish are now +2.5 favorites.
Public college football bettors are all over Miami in this match up. What’s interesting is that only 55% of pro bettors like the Canes at -2.5 as opposed to +1.
As far as the game goes, Miami has no business not covering a less than 3-point spread in this. The Hurricanes are simply the better team.
Texas Tech +8.5 at TCU -8.5
This is a classic case of casual bettors versus pro bettors.
The casual bettors are all over TCU in this game. They bet TCU from -7.5 all the way to -8.5.
Pro bettors are siding with Texas Tech. 65% of pro college football handicappers prefer Texas Tech at +8.5.
Depending on a bookmaker’s business, she might have to layoff some dollars bet on Tech in this game at +8.5.
Some pro football handicappers are likely salivating over the odds on the Red Raiders who average 50.3 points per game. Texas Tech has a shot of winning this game straight up.
6 Nebraska +8.5 at 11 Wisconsin -8.5
Nebraska is undefeated and ranked 6th in the nation. Why are they +8.5 road dogs against the Wisconsin Badgers in Week 9?
Easy. While Wisconsin has already played against, LSU, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, and Iowa,
Nebraska has played against, Oregon, Northwestern, Indiana, Illinois and Purdue.
Yet another case of pros versus Joes, the Joes bet Wisconsin from -7.5 to -8.5 before the pros have started to come to play.
So far, 60% of pro college football handicappers like Nebraska at +8.5. It’s hard to see the Cornhuskers losing by more than 7 points in this game.
