The Ohio State Buckeyes have moved up to #2 in the nation in the AP Top 25 this week, but they are the top sports betting favorite, listed at +200. Alabama and Georgia are right behind the Buckeyes at +220. The last time the favorite was a team besides Alabama or Georgia was November 2020. These three teams have received almost 60% of the action to win the national championship, and they are the only teams with odds in the single digits. Clemson (+1200), USC (+1600), Michigan (+2000) and Tennessee (+4000) are next behind them. Check out this week’s rankings, along with some information that you can use in your wagering.

Thinking about betting on Penn State’s visit to Michigan? The Wolverines are seven-point favorites, and the point total right now is 52. Michigan’s games have gone under the total in five of their six meetings, with one push. The only other teams that have five unders without an over in FBS are Georgia Tech and Colorado State. In games against teams in the AP Top 10, Michigan has covered five times in 17 tries under head coach Jim Harbaugh. When Harbaugh was at Stanford, the Cardinal covered in three of four similar situations. The last time Michigan was a favorite of more than seven against a top-ten team, the year was 2016, and the Wolverines were 11-point favorites over Wisconsin. Penn State has covered just twice in eight games against Michigan under head coach James Franklin, and as the underdog, Penn State has failed to cover in any of their five attempts in this rivalry.
How about Auburn’s trip to Ole Miss? The Rebels are ranked ninth, and they are two-touchdown favorites with the Tigers coming to town. Auburn has only covered once in six games this season, the worst rate among SEC teams. The point total for this game is 54 ½, but the last four Auburn-Ole Miss games have paid the under by an average of 15.9 points per game – over a touchdown per team. On the road, Auburn has finished under the point total in nine of 11 games. Ole Miss has only covered once in four tries as a home favorite in 2022. Does that mean Auburn can break through? Remember that Auburn only lost to LSU by four.
When Kansas visits Oklahoma, Kansas is likely to use a backup quarterback, while Oklahoma should have Dillon Gabriel back under center. The line on this game is Oklahoma -7 or -7.5, depending on the book, and the point total is 64 ½. Kansas has covered in six of their last seven games as an underdog, pushing in the seventh game. The Jayhawks are 5-0-1 ATS this season, tied with James Madison and TCU atop the FBS for cover percentage.Oklahoma has played three teams with a winning record this season and has yet to cover, and they have not covered in four of their last five meetings with Kansas. I’m leaning more toward Oklahoma just because of the quarterback situation, but Kansas’ offense was productive against TCU without Jalon Daniels – just not productive enough.
