Wisconsin was a victim of an upset last week by Illinois, losing as a 2-point favorite by a final score of 31-26. This week they are listed as a 7-point underdog against Penn State, but bettors like this Wisconsin team, particularly in this matchup, as this dog is a favorite, garnering 90% of the action on the game at SportsBetting.com.
Two weeks ago, college football experienced a weekend that featured a number of monumental upsets—dubbed by some as “Upset Saturday”. That weekend, then No. 5 West Virginia failed to cover as 7-point favorites losing to No. 18 South Florida 21-13. The Washington Huskies and their supporters scored an ATS win against No. 1 USC as the Trojans failed to cover the 19½-point spread in a 27-24 victory. No. 3 Oklahoma came up short of the 23-point Vegas line as they were upset by Colorado 27-24. Those three were only a few of the favorites who were bitten by underdogs the weekend of Sept. 29.
Sports bettors who assumed that the previous weekend was an anomaly were probably shocked this past weekend as No. 2 USC, No. 5 Wisconsin and No. 1 LSU were some of the teams who failed to cover, with USC and Wisconsin losing straight up as well. As the college season reaches its mid-point, the Top 25 bears little resemblance to the preseason rankings, and the way this season has played out so far, you can bet there is still plenty of movement coming.
With the number of high profile upsets the past couple of weeks, here are some underdogs that are getting a fair share of this week’s action.
The Central Florida Golden Knights are listed +12 in their match-up against the upstart No. 5 South Florida Bulls, but it is the UFC Knights who are seeing a majority of the action at a 60% clip at SportsBetting.com.
The Auburn Tigers contributed to Upset Saturday when they beat the Florida Gators both ATS and SU with a final score of 20-17. Sports bettors are hoping that they can cover as underdogs again this week when they face 3-point favorite Arkansas.
