Early NCAA and NFL Football Bets
September 20th, 2006
It’s midweek and the search for good College and NFL bets continues. We’ve been scouring the internet and yakking on the fourms so what are the biggest bets being taken on at Pinnacle Sports ?Northwestern v Nevada O/U 47.5
With over 100 NCAA Div-IA teams, not to mention the various Div-IAA teams, the bookies have to price a lot of product quickly for openers every Sunday afternoon. Some numbers – especially totals – can be a bit loose when they open. This total was set at 52 and was quickly corrected after a few “$20 geniuses” took the price quickly.
Baltimore -6.5 v. Cleveland … Odds -105 = 1.95 decimal
The Ravens have played dominantly on both sides of the ball, outscoring their opponents 55-6 this season. The Browns have been lackluster, losing to New Orleans and Cincinnati. Pinnacle opened Baltimore at -4 and favorite money poured in. Early money on the favorite was taken at the rate of twenty bets on the Ravens for each one accepted on the Browns.
Philadelphia -6 v. San Francisco … Odds -110 = 1.91 decimal
The Eagles opened as a 4-point favorite and were immediately bet up by the public. Once again, a majority of the money was fading the underdog with five bets on the Eagles for every one on the 49ers.
Atlanta -3.5 v. New Orleans … Odds -108 = 1.93 decimal
Although this game isn’t until Monday night, it’s one of the most heavily traded game this week on the net. The Saints opened at +3 -115 and were driven up to +3.5 +100. While the betting is fairly equal on both sides, market drift has pushed this price up.

Overall the Bookie Labrat team are seeing a lot of favorites heavily backed and we can’t help but wonder whether the favorites will repeat their 58% cover rate ATS in 2005.
