    Do they ever lose straight up? I usually dont bet CFB and rarely look at the lines, but just checked them out and notices a lot of 20+ favorites. Do you guys ever take a shot on a 20+ dogs ML? Do they ever cash?

    Of course they hit, occassionally. Ole Miss lost in Week 1 as 30 point favorites. Virginia Tech lost to James Madison as 30 or 31 favorites the week after. You'll have much more success taking points though, IMO.

    College in particular, tends to have plenty of early lines that are soft, due to pre-season rankings and poor public perception betting off reputation. It's just a matter of finding the value like every other sport.

        chugs, you've been given examples from games that no one even offered moneylines on. i wouldn't try to bet huge cfb dogs on the moneyline if it isn't something you are pretty sharp with.
