Biggest Line Movers of Week 1 College Football
Steam Games or Even Weak Lines?
Below we’ll isolate a few of college football of the biggest line moves in Week 1, focusing on FBS matchups. Let us try to ascertain whether the college football odds on these matches are moving because the wise men”know something” or because it was a terrible line to begin with and has been manipulated by the sharps.
We have identified three line shifts because the vapor is blowing in that direction and it is your choice to choose whether to catch the team with value, or move the opposite way and choose a lousy number. Without further ado, let’s go!
South Alabama vs Nebraska (Saturday, August 31st, 12:00 PM ET)
That number has shrunk to as high as 36, although the Cornhuskers started as a whopping house favorite from the South Alabama Jaguars.
After completing strong season by winning four of the past six contests, including a good victory over Michigan 28, nebraska attracted a whole lot of attention. Much is expected of the Huskers and next year coach Scott Frost, since his group is currently ranked 24th year to begin the season even though a 4-8 record.
Much of that hype has sent this line spiraling as Nebraska will seem to establish worthy of their billing.
South Carolina vs North Carolina (Saturday, August 31st, 3:30 PM ET)
The Gamecocks started as 7 1/2 point favorites but that number has shrunk to as large as 11 in many of the books that were offshore. First of All, this game is not being played in Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill, North Carolina but in a neutral site, the Bank of America Stadium, home of the Carolina Panthers.
Just as a group is right of the”vs” doesn’t necessarily mean they’re at home and it takes the public a couple of days to figure out that. Moreover, South Carolina has possessed this rivalry going 6-1 ATS in their last seven neutral site games, in addition to winning six of the last seven meetings against the Tar Heels.
This document is in stark contrast to North Carolina’s 1-5 ATS markers in neutral-site affairs. The sharps obtained a whiff of their Heels 0-4 ATS record over the last four games in August so it is little wonder the’Cocks are receiving heavy play here.
Duke vs Alabama (Saturday, August 31st, 3:30 PM ET)
Expectations for the crew of Nick Saban are through the roof and this year is no different. The Crimson Tide embarks on which must be another national tournament ship this season and the very first casualty is going to be the Duke Blue Devils.
The oddsmakers understand the hype train that follows Tide soccer that’s the reason why they set up them last year as a house favorite against a group in Duke that travelled 8-5 and conquered Temple in the Independence Bowl.
Sure, Duke was no national competition, nor are they this year, but getting into a bowl game and winning it has to account for something, right? Well, not in the world of the squares who never saw a number large enough to keep them from getting back on the Tide.
As of this writing, Alabama is now a 33 1/2 point that their star junior linebacker, will probably be out for the season and Dylan Moses, hurt his knee. The reduction of this Tide’s defensive captain did not make a whit of difference to the public, that will toss their money to the fire!
