How to read College Football Las Vegas Odds

Similar to our Money Line and 1st Half Odds, every matchup is listed in order of Rotation and those numbers are preceded by the Date and Time of the College Football game.

The rotation for college football games typically lists them by scheduled starting time, which can lead to some confusion since the number will remain the same even if the games wind up changing due to television networks often shifting around action to present more attractive matchups. Home teams are listed at the bottom and will therefore be your even-numbered squad.

The numbers next to the teams are called Spreads or Point-Spreads.

Favorites are the teams laying points, which is represented by a minus (-) sign. The team in the Underdog role is getting points, which is represented by the plus (+) symbol that you wouldn’t see on the board but would be represented next team onto you betting ticket or slip. You can add the spread to your team’s final score and have that edge throughout the game.

If there is no favorite or underdog, the line is called pick’em and is represented by (PK). Winner takes it. The amount of points a team is favored by is set by oddsmakers on Sunday afternoons and that figure fluctuates throughout the week based on the amount of money coming in on bets.

Opposite from the spread you’ll find the Total, which represents what oddsmakers believe will be the combined number of points scored between the teams. That number also increases or decreases based on bets coming in on the Over or Under.

How to Bet College Football Las Vegas Odds

The key to wagering successfully in college football spread betting is to decide early how many points you’re willing to lay with Favorites and to get in at the lowest possible spot.

If you’re going to back the Underdog, make sure you’re getting the most points possible entering the game. The skill in this often requires you to forecast how a game will be wagered since we often see opening lines bet up over the course of the week due to the majority of the money coming in on the favorite.

Of course, getting in too early can often backfire if a better number appears over the course of the week or if injuries that are typically not announced until coaches give status reports on Monday press conferences dramatically alter expectations. There’s also a big rush on betting action just before the kickoff of any game, which means you may be best off waiting until kickoff approaches to get the right number.

Take the 2019 college football Big 12 matchup between Texas-West Virginia as a prime example. The Longhorns opened as an 11.5-point favorite and won 42-31 after the Mountaineers scored the game’s final touchdown with :48 left. West Virginia backers who got in early prevailed on that score, while Texas bettors who guessed wrong and got in too early caught a “bad beat.” Those who waited and laid only 10.5 points still cashed. Get in at the best number!

College Football Opening Line

Opening Lines in college football are typically set on Sunday afternoons in the current week and you usually see immediate action cause line movement. The Spread is based on a rough projection of a score for every matchup, although oddsmakers have a good idea of what side the betting public will want to bet and usually saddles that team with an additional point or three. The same goes for the Total, which projects the combined number of points expected in a contest.

These numbers are based on simulations that take a number of statistical factors into account in addition to baking in injuries, a homefield advantage that is typically worth three points and any other potential edges. Teams coming off bye weeks are usually given an edge thanks to increased preparation time and fresher bodies. Teams coming in on short rest or that have to travel out of their element typically find themselves penalized in a point spread.

UCLA at Cincinnati (-4)

In the above example, UCLA was made a four-point underdog against Cincinnati in the 2019 season opener for both. The betting public jumped on the team from the higher-regarded conference, perhaps believing that the West-Coast team heading more than halfway across the country was being penalized too harshly and the line closed at 2.5 points. Cincinnati prevailed 24-14. The opening line of 4 was accurate in calling for a larger margin of victory than the closing line, which is where the ‘opener’ ultimately ends up.

VI Consensus College Football Line

When looking at the numbers over the course of the week, you’ll see constant line movement on our odds and matchup pages. All of the betting properties we track create their own lines and we display and track all of their movements in the VegasInsider.com Consensus Line. At any given point in the week, from when the line opens until just before kickoff, you’ll see different numbers representing the current lines. Those may vary from one another since properties offer up their own lines, so VI’s Consensus Line represents the one that appears most commonly.

The Total is also available on the VI Consensus line and similarly consists of the current betting line which most frequently among our list of Las Vegas and Global sportsbooks. For an example, in the most recent National Championship between LSU and Clemson, there was significant line fluctuation throughout the two-week lead up. LSU was laying 5.5 to 6 points in multiple locations as the favorite. The battle of Tigers ended with LSU blowing out Clemson 42-25, covering the spread handily.

That time of year has arrived, folks! The time of year when even non-gamblers become sports bettors. The time for NCAA Tournament betting. March Madness is upon us and after missing out in 2020, college hoops fans and bettors are ready.

Before seedings begin to roll out, let’s take a look at the NCAA Tournament futures odds, as well as odds to make the Final Four from FanDuel Sportsbook. Where is the smart money at? Let’s find out!

NCAA Tournament Betting Odds: The Top 8

• Gonzaga Bulldogs (+280)
• Baylor Bears (+310)
• Michigan Wolverines (+700)
• Villanova Wildcats (+1100)
• Illinois Fighting Illini (+1600)
• Iowa Hawkeyes (+1600)
• Alabama Crimson Tide (+1800)
• Houston Cougars (+1900)

If you plan to place your bets pre-tournament on a winner, the Gonzaga Bulldogs come in as a 3-to-1 favorite. The West Coast Conference regular-season champs finished the season undefeated at 24-0, 15-0 in conference play. The question is, are they the smart play at only (+280)?

The Bulldogs haven’t played a close game since December 2nd of last year when they beat West Virginia by only 5. Gonzaga won every other game this season by double digits which is insane, but they haven’t played a ranked opponent since December 26th. They only played 4 teams that are currently ranked all season.

The Low-Risk, Low-Reward Pick

If you’re going to take a low-risk, low-reward team, you may want to look at the Baylor Bears at +(310). Baylor has proven that they can play top-ranked opponents in close games and still come out on top. They have played 8 teams that are currently ranked in the AP Top 25, and came out 7-1 in those battles. Including a 13-point win over 4th ranked Illinois.

The Kansas Jayhawks were the only team that was able to 1-up Baylor this season. The Bears will close out the regular season playing 2 ranked opponents at home. Fortunately for the Bears, they’ve already beaten Oklahoma State and Texas Tech on the road, so they should be able to take care of business at home.

The outliers in favor of Gonzaga are that they remain ranked #1 on KenPom and are 5-0 at neutral sites this season. That being said, Baylor is 3-0 at neutral sites and Baylor’s Big 12 schedule was a much more difficult path than Gonzaga’s West Coast schedule.

Of the top few teams, Baylor at (+310) is where my money would go. Gonzaga has a slight edge on offense, but Baylor’s defense may have the upper-hand, and defense travels.

Upping Your Return

If you’re going to stay near the top for better odds of a win, but would like a higher return, there are 2 teams you should keep an eye on. It must be the 80’s again because we’re talking about the Illinois Fighting Illini and the Houston Cougars.

Whether either of these teams will live up to the “Flyin’ Illini” or “Phi Slama Jama” remains to be seen, but both teams dominated their conferences this season and both are currently in 2nd in their respective conferences. Both teams have one game remaining on their schedule with Illinois’ matchup against #7 Ohio State being the tougher of the two games.

Sports Betting Lines Ncaa

While Houston may have the more attractive odds, they have only played 1 currently ranked team all season. They beat Texas Tech on November 29th, in their 3rd game of the season.

Illinois has had a much tougher schedule in the Big Ten, which has been absolutely ferocious this season. The Illini are 4-2 against ranked opponents including a dominant win over the #2 Michigan Wolverines.

Illinois’ only question mark heading into March Madness is Big Ten and National Player of the Year contender Ayo Dosunmu’s status. Dosunmu suffered a facial injury during Illinois’ recent loss to the Michigan State Spartans. However, they were also without him when they wiped the floor with Michigan.

If Ayo is on the floor for the NCAA Tournament, you should consider putting your money on Illinois at (+1600). If he is unable to return, maybe consider Houston at (+1900). Great odds for such a good team.

Top 10 Odds to Make the Final Four

• Baylor Bears (-300)
• Gonzaga Bulldogs (-300)
• Michigan Wolverines (+100)
• Villanova Wildcats (+190)
• Texas Longhorns (+230)
• Ohio State Buckeyes (+230)
• Houston Cougars (+280)
• Alabama Crimson Tide (+300)
• Illinois Fighting Illini (+300)
• Iowa Hawkeyes (+350)

Not much changes as we look at Final Four betting odds. Baylor and Gonzaga are the favorites at (-300), and either team is a worthwhile bet if you’re betting enough to maximize your return.

A little further down the list, you have Illinois at (+300) and the Iowa Hawkeyes at (+350). With 2 of the best players in the tournament in Dosunmu and Luka Garza, both of these feel pretty safe as well, and of course, your betting account would look much nicer if one of these teams makes a run for you.
