Patrick Everson
The Red River Rivalry resumes Saturday when Sam Ehlinger and Texas take on Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl. FanDuel opened Oklahoma -2.5 and moved to -1.5 by Monday afternoon.
College football odds for Week 6 are on the betting board and already getting action, with a few key games dotting the schedule. No. 1 Clemson plays host to No.7 Miami under the Saturday night lights, and No. 12 Tennessee travels to No. 3 Georgia.
FanDuel Sportsbook provided insights on college football Week 6 opening lines, early line movement, sharp money and public betting for this week's matchups.
College football Week 6 odds
These are the current College football Week 6 odds for the premier games on the schedule, as of September 28.
(7) Miami at (1) Clemson odds
Opening line
Clemson -16, Over/Under 65.5
Why the line moved
Clemson is already down to -14.5 on Monday night at FanDuel, where early bettors are jumping on the underdog. Miami is taking 73 percent of tickets and money on the spread, and the Hurricanes have even greater support on the moneyline, at 77 percent of bets/97 percent of dollars. And the total plunged from 65.5 to 60.5 Monday, despite a large majority of tickets and money on the Over.
(18) Virginia Tech at (9) North Carolina odds
Opening line
North Carolina -3.5, Over/Under 60.5
Why the line moved
This line was volatile early, jumping from Tar Heels -3.5 to -6.5 in a matter of minutes Sunday, then receding to -4.5 by lunch hour Monday. Through Monday night, Carolina is taking 62 percent of tickets and 54 percent of money on the spread. The total went from 60.5 to 61.5, then fell to 57.5 Monday afternoon, and it looks like there's some sharp play here: 75 percent of tickets are on the Over, but 63 percent of money is on the Under.
(12) Tennessee at (3) Georgia odds
Opening line
Georgia -14, Over/Under 44.5
Why the line moved
By Monday afternoon, Georgia had already dialed down to -12.5 at FanDuel on two-way action. Through Monday night, Tennessee is taking 57 percent of bets, while Georgia is getting 58 percent of dollars.
(22) Texas vs Oklahoma Odds
Opening line
Oklahoma -2.5, Over/Under 70.5
Why the line moved
The eye-popping total stands out most for the neutral-site rekindling of the Red River Rivalry, at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. The total is already up to 72.5 at FanDuel, with 89 percent of bets and 97 percent of money on the Over. On the spread, Oklahoma is down to -1.5 Monday night, although early tickets and money are both running about 2/1 on the Sooners.
Texas Tech at (24) Iowa State Odds
Opening line
Iowa State -13.5, Over/Under 62.5
Why the line moved
Iowa State is down a point to -12.5 at FanDuel, and betting splits through Monday night indicate why: 62 percent of tickets and 53 percent of dollars are on Texas Tech. And early moneyline bettors apparently expect a letdown from the Cyclones, who as 7-point home underdogs upended Oklahoma 37-30 on Saturday. Texas Tech is attracting 54 percent of moneyline bets and 98 percent of moneyline cash.
(2) Alabama at Ole Miss odds
Opening line
Mississippi +23.5, Over/Under 73.5
Why the line moved
Big favorite Alabama is up a point Monday to -24.5 at FanDuel, with ticket count 2/1 and money 4/1 in favor of the Crimson Tide. And, like Oklahoma-Texas, a huge total already has heavily tilted action to the Over, at 87 percent of tickets and 98 percent of money through Monday.
Arkansas at (13) Auburn odds
Opening line
Auburn -15.5, Over/Under 51.5
Why the line moved
Auburn is up to -16.5 Monday night at FanDuel, taking 58 percent of early tickets and 66 percent of early money on the spread. The total is already down to 48.5, thanks to 83 percent of tickets/92 percent of money showing on the Under.
Missouri at (16) LSU odds
Opening line
LSU -18.5, Over/Under 53.5
Why the line moved
Louisiana State is already up 2 points at FanDuel, sitting at -20.5 Monday night. Sixty-three percent of bets are on the Tigers, but money is closer to two-way, with LSU garnering 54 percent of early cash.
(3) Florida at (20) Texas A&M odds
Opening line
Texas A&M +5.5, Over/Under 57.5
Why the line moved
Early bettors don't think much of A&M's home field, with Florida taking more than 90 percent of early point-spread tickets and money. That prompted FanDuel to move the Gators to -7.5 early Monday, before moving back to -6.5.
Florida State at (5) Notre Dame odds
Opening line
Notre Dame -21.5, Over/Under 53.5
Why the line moved
Notre Dame is down a point Monday night to -20.5 at FanDuel, but the Fighting Irish are taking 87 percent of early tickets and 94 percent of early dollars. Similarly, the total is down 2 points to 51.5, despite the Over attracting 83 percent of bets and 85 percent of cash.

Houston coach Dana Holgorsen and the Cougars will be making their 2020 regular season debut on Thursday versus Tulane. (AP)
HOW TO HANDICAP TULANE-HOUSTON
Tulane is 2-1 S/U and 1-2 ATS this season with some big swings in its games.
The Green Wave won 27-24 in its opener at South Alabama but trailed 24-6 in that game. Tulane then had a 24-0 halftime lead vs. Navy at home but lost 27-24 on a field goal as time expired.
In its most recent game in late September Tulane trailed 21-14 at Southern Miss before putting up 52 points in the final 37 minutes to win 66-24.
Houston is yet to play this season with postponed games vs. Rice, Baylor, and North Texas in September.
BETTING ANALYSIS – GREEN WAVE
Straight Up - SU, Against the Spread - ATS, Over-Under (O/U)
Overall: 2-1 SU, 1-2 ATS, 2-0-1 O/U
Willie Fritz isn’t a household name but he has compiled now 179 wins in his career mostly at lower level programs. After a long run at Central Missouri he led Sam Houston State for four seasons, twice competing for the then Division I Championship. He led Georgia Southern to a 17-7 record as a Sun Belt newcomer and he has led improvement at Tulane now in his fifth season, coming off back-to-back 6-6 regular seasons capped off by bowl wins.
Fritz has been a strong spread performer at 30-22-1 ATS at Tulane, though most of that success has come at home in a favorite role. His Georgia Southern teams also went 16-8 ATS in his two seasons as few head coaches can rival his over 60 percent cover rate, even if at Tulane he is still a few games below .500 S/U overall.
Georgia Southern and Tulane ran the option for Fritz but that changed slightly with offensive coordinator Will Hall who joined the program last season. The emphasis is on playing up-tempo while still featuring some option elements but also spreading receivers out as well. Running the ball is a priority and the Green Wave have nearly netted 900 rushing yards in the first three games on 6.5 yards per carry.
Quarterback play has been shaky with Southern Miss transfer Keon Howard completing only 42 percent of his passes so far and without a touchdown pass. Howard played sparingly last season behind Justin McMillan who threw for 2,400 yards while also leading Tulane in rushing.
The up-tempo pace for the Wave has certainly been a big factor in the roller coaster style of games in which the Wave has been a part of this season. Tulane has also had to replace its top running back and top two receivers from last season but so far the Wave already have four different rushers hitting triple-digit yardage through three games.
Tulane was a middle-of-the-pack scoring team in AAC play last season, actually even at 252-252 in going 3-5 in conference games. Memphis and SMU beat Tulane handily by 30 and 17 respectively but the Wave also had a pair of three-point losses to Navy and UCF.
Tulane’s rushing presence coupled with a run defense that so far has allowed only 2.8 yards per rush makes for attractive underdog traits. Tulane has allowed 8.8 yards per pass attempt however as big plays against the Wave in the air are possible. Senior DE Patrick Johnson is considered a mid-round NFL draft prospect for 2021 and he has four sacks already as a player to watch on defense.
BETTING ANALYSIS - COUGARS
Overall: 0-0 SU, 0-0 ATS, 0-0 O/U
Head Coach Dana Holgorsen surprised many by leaving West Virginia after the 2018 season to take over at Houston, moving from the Big XII to the AAC. Holgorsen was the OC at Houston in 2008-09 before a one-year run at Oklahoma State before moving to Morgantown, somewhat contentiously taking over for Bill Stewart.
Holgorsen went 61-41 at West Virginia but never matched the success the team had in an Orange Bowl run in his first season in 2011, the final season as a Big East team. West Virginia did go 10-3 in 2016 and in seven of eight seasons with the program West Virginia had a winning record for Holgorsen.
His first season at Houston fell well short of expectations finishing 4-8. Most notably star quarterback D’Eriq King opted to sit out the rest of the season after a 1-3 start, eventually transferring and now leading Miami this season.
His replacement Clayton Tune is back this season and he held off Holgorsen’s son Logan for the starting quarterback job for 2020. Tune had marginal numbers last season completing just 59 percent of his passes with 11 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
Houston was a successful rushing team last season posting more than 2,200 yards on 4.8 yards per carry, with Tune offering some mobility. Seniors Kyle Porter and Texas transfer Mulbah Car are expected to lead the ground game with Porter offering elusive quickness while Car is a physical force in goal line situations.
Potential late round NFL draft pick Marquez Stevenson is back as the leading receiver for Houston in 2019 as the offense is experienced after scoring more than 30 points per game last season. The offense lost Tackle Josh Jones, a third round NFL draft pick to Arizona, who will be difficult to replace.
Houston won only twice in AAC play last season and surprisingly went 1-4 S/U and ATS at home in 2019, with the only S/U win coming vs. FCS Prairie View. Houston allowed 176 points in its four AAC home losses, though in fairness they did face three of the conference’s top teams in those games. Houston was outscored 230-286 last season in league play and 368-408 overall, numbers indicative of a closer to .500 record than the Cougars produced.
In a major transition and replacing one of the program’s most productive players of all-time, Houston wound up with three one-score losses and the schedule overall was difficult, playing Oklahoma and Washington State in non-conference play and drawing both Cincinnati and UCF from the East division crossover games.
HISTORICALLY SPEAKING
HEAD-TO-HEAD
Houston leads the all-time series 17-7 (13-9 ATS) going back to 1968 but these teams have a lot of recent history as regular Conference USA foes in the late 1990s and 2000s and now playing annually as AAC foes since 2014.
Houston won and covered in this series 10 consecutive years from 2003 to 2012 but the series but the Cougars are 3-3 S/U and 2-4 ATS since 2014 with the host winning S/U each of the past four years.
Last season was the first time Houston was an underdog in this series since 2003 and many of the ATS wins for Houston came as a heavy favorite in a difficult stretch for the Tulane program.
LAST SEASON
This was a mid-September Thursday night game last season and it lived up to the TV spotlight. Houston, in what would be King’s final game, led 28-14 at halftime but Tulane would tie the game early in the fourth quarter after Houston was held to back-to-back punts to start the second half. The Cougars missed a field goal with about 10 minutes remaining and Tulane broke the 28-28 tie with a 44-yard kick at the 6:10 mark.
Houston used nearly all the remaining clock on a 16-play drive but couldn’t get in the end zone, eventually settling for a 24-yard field goal with 21 seconds to go, seemingly forcing overtime.
The Wave hit a solid gain to near midfield on first down and then McMillan hit Jalen McClesky down the field at about the 25-yard-line where two Houston defenders collided and a third wasn’t able to make the tackle as The Wave would score with three seconds remaining for a stunning finish, also covering as a 4.5-point home favorite.
Houston had a 533-511 yardage edge and both teams had a single turnover. The box score was nearly identical with both teams eclipsing 300 rushing yards on similar averages while completed passes were rare with Tulane’s big plays late boosting its per attempt average to 9.3 yards per pass. Most of the key players on both offenses will be different this time around with the exception of Porter and Stevenson for Houston.
NOTABLE BETTING TRENDS
-- Houston is 14-18 ATS as a home favorite since 2014, though surprisingly the Cougars were not a home favorite in a FBS game last season at all.
-- The Cougars are 28-10 S/U at home since 2014 but just 17-21 ATS.
-- Tulane is just 8-18 S/U on the road under Fritz since 2016, going 12-14 ATS, with two of those S/U wins this season.
-- Tulane is only 6-10 ATS as a road underdog since 2016.
