In the Marshall vs Notre Dame odds, the Irish are getting 99 the public bets and handle on the moneyline. This despite the fact that the Fighting Irish are the -1400 favorite.
Is the national fervor for Notre Dame in such a state that it’s worth betting that line? Evidently so.
Later Will Come Sooner For Kent State
The Golden Flashes are getting 33.5 points on the road in the Kent State vs Oklahoma odds. Yet it’s the Sooners getting all the public betting action. There’s 97% of handle and 94% of bets backing Oklahoma to cover.

The Sooners are 6-4 ATS in the past 10 games when they’ve kicked off as the 30+-point chalk.
In each of the last three times the Golden Flashes were 30+-point underdogs, they failed to cover. Give the points and take Oklahoma.
Public Betting Is Bullish Over Bears-Cougars
Baylor and BYU are meeting for the fourth time. Each of their first three games saw 60 or more points put up on the scoreboard.
