While the NFL is the most wagered upon sport in North America, college
football is the most exciting brand of football you can watch on TV. The
passion these kids play with is second to none and the century old
rivalries amongst some of college's elite programs makes that one game a
season sometime mean so much more than a national title. Since Michigan is
generally out of the CFP discussion by November, there game against Ohio
State is the be all and end all of their season. Michigan wants to beat
Ohio State so badly, that some of the fan base would be considered there
season a success if that's the only marquee win on the schedule.

If you don't know some of the history of college football, I suggest
looking into it. If you are like everyone else who reads this piece and
want to understand how to bet on the basic college football options, you
can keep reading. If you are a little more seasoned, you can skip down to
the advanced wagering options by clicking here . If
you want to know how to lay a few bets down on the futures market, I
suggest you click here.

Betting on the Money Line in College Football

As a concept, this is the simplest wager you can make on any game in any
sport. The money line betting option allows you to place a bet on the team
you think is simply going to win the game. In college, this bet includes
overtime. Unlike the NFL, college football games cannot end in a tie due to
their overtime format.

Alabama Crimson Tide: -450 ML

Kentucky: Wildcats +300 ML

The money line betting odds correlate to the listed point spread. In this
example, Alabama are the favorites and you must wager $450 dollars to turn
a profit of $100. If you are a homer or love betting on the underdog, the
Wildcats will return you $300 for every $100 you wager on them if they pull
off the upset.

Regardless of if I am talking about the NFL, CFL, NCAA, Arena League or
upcoming XFL, the point spread is the most popular wagering option for
bettors who love to test football betting skills. The point spread is an
indication of which team is the favorite and underdog heading into their
matchup.

A negative betting line such as -7.5 indicates that the favorite team is
expected to not only win the game outright, but win by eight or more
points. On the flip side, positive betting lines such as +7.5 indicate a
team's underdog status. Not only is the underdog expected to lose, but they
are expected to lose by at least eight points.

When looking over betting options for the college football, you will come
across lines that look like the following:

Alabama Crimson Tide -7.5 (-110)

Kentucky Wildcats: +7.5 (-110)

Depending on which side you select, your team must "cover the spread" in
order for your wager to be graded a winner.

If you choose to take Kentucky +7.5, you will be a winner if either of
these two scenarios play out. The first being Kentucky wins the game
outright by any score. The second being Kentucky loses by seven or fewer
points, thus "covering" the +7.5-spread.

If you decided to wager on Alabama as -7.5-point favorites, they must win
by eight or more points in order for wager to be graded as a winner.

One thing to keep in mind when betting on the point spread is that the
point spread moves up or down depending on how much action a certain side
is receiving. If you are able to lock in your bet at -7.5 and the line goes
down to -5.5, your ticket would only be a winner if your team won by eight
or more points. If they won six or seven, they would have beat the closing
spread of -5.5, but your odds are locked in from the time your ticket is
printed or you click place bet.

Despite being classified as the same sport, NFL and college football totals
are apples and oranges. In college, it's easy to spot the teams that play
absolutely zero defense. The scores from their games are typically in the
70's/80's on a consistent basis. In the NFL, there were only a handful of
games that games that reached those totals. College football is more
receptive to the spread offense, which is why sportsbooks have no choice
but to inflate totals to try and cover their own butts.

Let's look at an example of a game total:

Texas Tech Red Raiders/Oklahoma Sooners – "Over" 78.5 -110, "Under" 78.5
-110

If you bet the "over" 78.5, there must be a total of 79 points or more
scored in the game in order for you to be a winner. If there are 78 or
fewer points scored, then those who bet on the "under" will cash their
tickets.

If totals are whole numbers such as 78 or 80 and the total happens to land
exactly on the number, your bet, regardless whether it's an "over" or
"under" bet, will be graded as a push and your money will be returned to
you.

Advanced College Football Wagering Options

Advanced wagering options in college football are nearly identical to those
of the NFL. The only thing you will not find in a sportsbook in relation to
college football is the "First Touchdown Scorer or Anytime Touchdown
Scorer" market. Below are some of the more popular wagering options.

This works almost exactly like the game total, but revolves around one team
instead of both. With the "team total" wagering option, you are essentially
betting on whether you think Team X will score more or less than the line
given out by the sportsbooks.

Texas Tech Team Total: "Over" 35.5 -110, "Under" 35.5 -110.

In this case you have two options. You can bet them to score 36 or more
points or 35 or fewer. The decision is ultimately up to you. This bet also
includes overtime, unless otherwise stated in the betting rules provided by
your sportsbook of choice.

The "first half spread" betting option is a trickier form of betting the
full-game point spread. This option takes into account the score at half
time in order to determine a winner. The first half spread is usually half
of what the full game spread is.

Alabama -3.5 1H

Kentucky +3.5 1H

Depending on what side you are on, the score going into half time is what
is used to determine a winner. If the score is 31-21 in favor of Alabama,
bettors holding an Alabama -3.5 1H ticket are winners since they were able
to cover the -3.5- first-half spread.

As I mentioned above, the first half point spread is typically half of what
the full game line is.

There are only a handful of sportsbooks that offer up player props in
college football, but they are nowhere near as extensive as the NFL player
props. Typically, there will be props offered on one or two superstars per
team and the lines will typically be inflated depending on who is playing.

Jalen Hurts: "Over" 18.5 completions -110, "Under" 18.5 completions -110

Nick Chubb: "Over" 74.5 rushing yards -110, "Under" 74.5 rushing yards -110

Calvin Ridley: "Over" 4.5 receptions -110, "Under" 4.5 receptions -110

For each of these three player prop options, each player must go "over" or
"under" the posted line. If you think Hurts will complete at least 19
passes, you would take the "over". If you think Ridley will be held to four
or fewer catches, you would bet the "under".

A futures bet is a wager placed in the time leading up to the start of the
event on a team or player that you believe is going to win their respective
competition. Heading into the 2018/19 College Football season, the CFP
futures odds look like this:

2019 College Football Champions: Alabama +200, Clemson +700, Georgia +700,
Ohio State +700, Michigan +1400, Penn State +1600, Oklahoma +2500,
Wisconsin +2500, Florida State +2800, etc.

In order for you to successfully cash your ticket, you must correctly
choose the team that will hoist the CFP trophy at the conclusion of next
year's College Football Playoffs.

This is another popular type of futures bet amongst pro handicappers. The
concept is straight forward. Every sportsbook will put out a "win total"
for every team long before the season begins. Handicappers must simply
decide whether they believe that team will exceed the posted win total or
fall short of it.

Alabama Crimson Tide Win Total: "Over" 11.5 wins -110, "Under" 11.5 wins
-110

If Alabama wins at least 12 games, the "over" would cash. If they win 11 or
fewer, the "under" would cash.

It’s impossible to separate sports betting in America and the point spread . They will forever be linked.
Point spreads are most commonly associated with higher-scoring sports like basketball and football , but can be used in any sport.
They’re the great equalizer, allowing bettors to wager on even the worst teams with some confidence.
So what is a point spread, how do you read it, and how to you make a spread bet? Let’s dive in.
A point spread is a bet on the margin of victory in a game.
The stronger team or player will be favored by a certain number of points, depending on the perceived gap in ability between the two teams.
A minus sign (-) means that team is the favorite.
A plus sign (+) means that team is the underdog.
Here’s how DraftKings displays its point spreads for football, with the point spread boxed in red.
Let’s use Ohio State at Penn State in college football as an example of how point spreads work.
The Ohio State Buckeyes are -6.5, meaning they’re the favorite. Remember that minus sign means they’re favored, and therefore the perceived stronger team.
The Buckeyes need to win by 7 points or more for their bettors to win.
Penn State is +6.5 and needs to either lose by 1-6 points, or win the game, to cover the spread and win the bet. The plus signs indicates they’re the underdog.
If the point spread is a whole number — like Penn State +7 — and Ohio State wins by exactly seven points, it’s a push and all bets are refunded.
You can read more about how to read American odds , but the number next to the spread is the juice associated with that bet. Most spread bets will be -110, so the sportsbook takes a 10% cut.
That means for every $1 you want to win, you have to risk $1.10. So if you want to win $20 on a bet, you’ll have to risk $22.
If you bet $22 on Ohio State -6.5 and the Buckeyes win by 10, you’ll win $20. If they only win by 5, you lose $22.
Point spreads have an even tax on both sides because we expect each team to cover the point spread about 50% of the time.
When betting moneylines — which requires you to pick the winner straight-up — you can get bigger payouts because the likelihood of the worse team winning the game outright is much lower than it just covering the spread.
It’s easy to bet point spreads at a book like FanDuel or DraftKings . Here’s how it works:
We could write another 5,000 words about how point spreads are truly made, but in the simplest terms, it’s a 3-step process.
“Covering the spread” is another way to say that a team won a point spread bet. In the above example, Ohio State winning by 7 points or more as a -6.5 favorite means they covered the spread.
If Penn State lost by 6 points or fewer, or won the game, they covered the spread.
What does it mean when a team is 9-2 ATS this season? ATS stands for “against the spread.” So an ATS record is simply wins and losses against the spread.
Low-scoring sports like hockey and baseball do have point spreads, but they’re almost always -1.5 and +1.5.
In hockey, a spread is referred to as the “puck line.” In baseball, it’s the “run line.”
The odds are just changed depending on the ability of the team — you won’t get -110 on both sides.
So you’ll get paid less for betting the Yankees -1.5 against the lowly Orioles than you would for betting the Yankees -1.5 against the Astros, when the two teams are more evenly matched.
