Week 9 of the college football season has arrived, and a few interesting trends have developed in public betting. DraftKings Sportsbook has provided a look at betting splits on point spread, point total, and moneyline wagering in ranked contests.
BYU has scored at least 43 points in five of its six games thus far and reached 52 points or more twice. With the total points set at 52 for Saturday’s game, Western Kentucky will likely just need to muster a few scores for the over to hit. Currently, only 62% of the handle has gone to the over. That figure seems somewhat low given the likelihood of another scoring explosion from the Cougars.
When it comes to the point spread for No. 15 North Carolina’s matchup with ACC rival Virginia, 87% of the handle and a whopping 96% of the bets have come on the Tar Heels -7. While the Cavaliers don’t possess as much talent, they displayed the ability to limit a high-powered offense a week ago when they held No. 11 Miami to just 19 points. A similar effort doesn’t seem unreasonable at home and makes the cover a more palatable play than the public’s wagers suggest.
One of the pleasant surprises of 2020 so far, the No. 25 Coastal Carolina Chanticleers possesses a 5-0 record with a win over a top-25 opponent. They draw the 2-2 Georgia State Panthers, a team whose losses have come by a combined margin of 10 points. That makes the Coastal Carolina -3 point spread in Saturday’s tilt a difficult one to assess. Still, 74% of the handle has gone on Georgia State, a figure that seems a tad high.
