I've done some research and also come up in agreement with a few friends that these 2 teams the public will bet heavy on, as usual.
Notre Dame: Every week there are more than a billion people betting—financially or morally—on the biggest public favorite of them all.
Last season, despite a dissolving coaching situation and a Week-2 loss to a mediocre-at-best Michigan team, Notre Dame ended up being favored in nine games. Charlie Weis’ last team featured a defense that allowed nearly 400 yards a game and ended up going 1-8 against the spread as a favorite. Even this year, money has been pouring on the Irish to win it all.
“I actually just dropped them from 40-to-1 to 35-to-1,” Bodog.com sports book manager Richard Gardner said.
How in the world can someone put money on Notre Dame this season? Where’s the divine intervention when you need it? When it comes to being a public favorite, Notre Dame is King Kong, every year.
Nebraska Cornhuskers: There are nearly 1.8 million people in Nebraska. They all love the Cornhuskers, especially this year. More than 77,000 fans piled into Memorial Stadium for the Cornhuskers’ third spring game under coach Bo Pelini.
It doesn’t seem to matter that they and are facing the task of replacing Ndamukong Suh, one of the most dominating players college football has seen in a long time. Suh led the Huskers’ in tackles from his defensive tackle position. And no one seems to care that quarterback Zac Lee threw 10 interceptions last season, including three against Texas in the Big 12 Championship Game. The Big 12 media picked the Huskers to win the conference. They’re No. 9 in the Coaches’ Preseason Poll.
This is the same team that lost 9-7 to Iowa State at home last year. Yet, in Las Vegas, MGM Mirage sportsbook manager Jeff Stoneback says money is coming in fast on furious on the Huskers to win over 9.5 games this year.
I am also leaning to fade the public on Boise and Ohio St. Still researching those two.
Looking forward to hearing from all you guys again!! Can someone please lose my Cav avatar please!!?? Possible Brutus avatar??Thanks!!
