For NCAA Week 6 action, there are some unique betting considerations and historical trends to keep in mind when wagering on College Football as the calendar flips to October.
To date, home teams have continued to dominate the college betting landscape. On the moneyline, home teams have won nearly 72% of all games this season, good for a 270-110 record.
That said, it’s the favored road teams that have been tilting the odds in recent weeks. Through the first five weeks, road favorites have been covering at a 53% clip, and that’s a growing trend to monitor as we enter a full slate this week.
The other intriguing trend to note is supporting big favorites. While some bettors stay away from these inflated-spread games entirely, the early returns show that big favorites are cashing at an impressive through the first month of the season.
In fact, teams closing as favorites of 27 points or higher have gone 29-14 against the spread thus far in 2023. This is definitely something to keep an eye on as we have some matchups with inflated spreads here in Week 6.
