While political fans and bettors are unable to place bets in the U.S. on the presidential election, fans in the three most populous states in the U.S. are not able to place bets with top U.S sportsbooks. So every week during the college football season, rabid fans in California, Texas and Florida must look to a local bookie or top offshore betting sites like BetOnline to place bets. But there are plenty of options and a big betting menu at BetOnline, along with weekly college football contests for added payouts.
So that’s what Aggies and Gators fans will be targeting this week in the big SEC matchup in Gainesville.
Popular spread bets this week include Alabama, LSU and Georgia as favorites with South Carolina taking among the most money wagered as a home underdog.
Texas A&M at Florida
This line has seen some movement down to A&M -4 with Aggies sophomore QB Conner Weigman listed as ‘questionable’ on the injury report. Florida QB Graham Mertz remains in concussion protocal after missing last week’s game. Just turned 19-year-old QB DJ Lagway is preparing to start again after passing for 456 yards and 3 TD’s in his starting debut last week vs. FCS Samford. Track the injury reports leading into the game with final participation list released 90 minutes before kickoff. Early opinion is on the home underdog Gators to win or cover the point spread with fans clamoring for Lagway to be the quarterback.
Prop bets on other skill position players include:
- Florida RB Montrel Johnson Jr. – Over/Under 64 rushing yards – Bet Over
- Texas A&M RB Le’Veon Moss – O/U 70 rushing yards
- Florida WR Elijhah Badger – O/U 44 receiving yards
- Texas A&M Noah Thomas – O/U 40 receiving yards
- Texas A&M WR Jahdae Walker – O/U 36 receiving yards
- Texas A&M WR Cyrus Allen – O/U 34 receiving yards
Boston College at Missouri
The only matchup of Top 25 teams Saturday is No. 24 Boston College from the ACC at No. 6 Missouri in the SEC. Missouri would be an underdog on a neutral field this week if playing No. 8 Penn State, No. 9 Oregon, No. 10 Miami or No. 11 USC. But the Tigers have plenty of talent and shutout their first two lightweight opponents 51-0 and 38-0. Boston college battled then top-1o Florida State to start the season and upset the Seminoles 28-13 as a double-digit underdog. First-year Boston College coach Bill O’Brien has plenty of experience taking on top teams as Penn State’s former head coach, and NFL experience. The Eagles appear to be able to line up in the trenches and matchup having run for 263 yards against FSU and allowing just 21 yards rushing. Boston College returning QB Thomas Castellanos is a big body duel-threat who has completed 70% of his passes with a 6/0 touchdown-to-interception ratio. The Eagles continue to get less respect in the betting market despite cracking the Top 25 while the Tigers move up and take money.
