Week 1 Most Popular NCAA Football games
08/29/2011
When we use the term ‘popular’ at Sports Insights, we are referring to the number of bets made on each game according to our own Betting Trends. We often look at these games because if there is a large number of bets, then it is likely that there is a large amount of “square” money on these games, and we can usually find some value.
Below are the three most heavily bet games for Week 1, and the betting percentages (against the spread) associated with each game:
1. Boise State (-3 or -3.5) vs Georgia
