Wild Wagering Trends CFB Week 14: This Week Favors the Favorites

We’re heading into the final stretch of the NCAA football regular season with a few games left to play along with conference championship games.

The biggest storyline from last week is Michigan beating Ohio State last week to earn their first berth in the Big Ten title game and possibly their first appearance in the College Football Playoff.

As with every week, we’re taking a look at three of the most interesting betting trends to get you thinking outside the box with your upcoming wagers. 

Here are the wildest betting trends for the Week 14 group of games.

Iowa vs Michigan -11.0 | Over/Under 43.5

Michigan is 9-1 ATS as a betting favorite in their last 10 games.

The Michigan Wolverines finally made it to the Big Ten Conference Finals in football. Now, all they have left to do is beat Iowa and they will have made their first College Football Playoff in the process! This is the second time that Iowa will play in the title game; with their first being a 2015 loss to Michigan State. 

Michigan has everything to win or lose in this game and I expect them to come out and crush Iowa. The Wolverines lead the nation with a 10-2 ATS record overall and are 7-2 ATS in conference play this year. The only games they failed to cover were to Rutgers and Michigan State.

Houston vs Cincinnati -10.5 | Over/Under 53.5

The Cincinnati Bearcats are 37-0 SU in their last 37 games as favorites. 

The Cincinnati Bearcats have done a lot this season to wow fans. They are one of the most exciting teams in the nation to watch and are currently one of only two teams that remain undefeated. Cinci hopes to keep that streak going this weekend when they take on the Houston Cougars in the AAC Championship Game at Nippert Stadium. 

For all those looking for an upset here, I would say look again. I am not going to do the math but 37 games as a favorite take us back at least a couple of seasons. So, it has been years since Cincinnati lost a game that they should win. I’m thinking that doesn’t change on Saturday. 

Utah State vs San Diego State -5.5 | Over/Under 49.5

Utah State is 1-6 ATS in their last seven games against a team with a winning record. 

One metric that separates good teams from bad teams is whether or not they can beat other good teams. So far, Utah State might be beating those teams but they are not covering spreads. In their last seven games against teams over .500, they have just one cover.

Meanwhile, the Aztecs are 4-1 ATS against Utah State in their last five games. With a spread of 5.5 in favor of the home team, keep an eye on Utah State to lose by at least six.
