College Football Week 3 Public Bettors
(The Spread) – Who does the public favor in Week 3’s college football matchups?
For the big tilt Thursday night between LSU and Mississippi State, 81% of college football public bettors currently favor the Tigers –3. This isn’t surprising seeing as how dominant LSU looked against Oregon in Week 1 and seeing as how the Bulldogs are coming off a heartbreaking loss to Auburn in Week 2.
For Friday night’s Boise State-Toledo game, the public once again likes the favorite as 72% of bettors currently favor the Broncos –20. This is somewhat surprising seeing as how the Rockets easily covered against Ohio State last weekend in Columbus. That said, the Broncos absolutely crushed the Rockets last year in Boise, so it would make sense that the public would believe Boise could roll again.
