    Public Favorites
    Are some of the favorites in the bigger games this weekend overvalued by the public?

    The public is heavy on Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Alabama, and Mich. St. but the lines in each of these games is moving in the opposite direction; about 2.5 points on average.

    Sounds like the public might be in for a beating this weekend.

        The OP is right, the public is on all of those games he posted. There are several consensus sites where you can find that info.

            The site I use gets their info from various sportsbooks. Besides, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know who the public is on. Every team the OP listed are high profile top ranked teams that the public takes every week. The Steelers play the Jags, I don't need to check a site to know who the public will be betting on.

                So you don't think the public is on Okla, Bama, Mich St and Wisc? Do you think the public is split 50-50 on those? The average bettor will be on all four of those "public" teams I can guarantee you, and I don't need a site to tell me, it's obvious. The public loves taking favorites regardless of what sport it is, and when it comes to college football, they're almost always on the top ten teams

                  The public..95% of the time is on the favorite..

                  Whenever you see the public all over an underdog, that is when you bet the favorite! Doesn't hit all the time b/c there are variables that nobody can predict. But most cases...if the public loves the underdog..Take the favorite. Duke vs Miami last week is the perfect example. Everyone on the board loved Duke +7. People were touting money-line , etc..But Miami covered.

                  Here is a list of favorites that the public is currently fading this week:
                  Ohio St
                  Army
                  Miss St
                  Miami OH
                  Central Michigan
                  Bowling Green
                  Stanford
                  Clemson
                  Georgia
                  Colorado
                  Toledo
                  La Lafayette
                  Auburn

                  If you take all these teams...I would BET you come out on top!
