Let’s take a look at the underdogs the public is betting for Week Two in College Football.
Note: All of these underdogs are playing on the road this weekend unless otherwise noted.
Money Line Betting Dogs
(Betting odds provided by The Action Network)
Baylor +122
Baylor, who travels to Provo, Utah to face BYU on Saturday night, is the most popular ML betting underdog for Week Two. The Bears have received 81 percent of the ML bets on this game. Baylor opened at +112.
Boston College +122
The fact that the public is betting Boston College so heavily probably has a lot to do with Virginia Tech’s loss last week to mid-major, in-state rival Old Dominion. BC have received 77 percent of the ML bets on this game. BC opened at +130. More to come on Boston College in this article.
