College Football Stability Score plays for Week 3

These college football Stability Scores provide a quantitative way to determine each team’s level of stability compared with how they finished the prior season. It is one of the foremost strategies Makinen employs every year to find value early. The thought is that teams in more stable year-to-year situations are better bets early while those that have undergone a lot of change in the offseason should be faded.

Steve keeps a handy chart on the Stability Scores of each FBS team and publishes them weekly for Week 0-3. He has found that a Stability Mismatch score of 8 is the minimum on which he will consider a play for this thought process (18-18 ATS on the year but has produced 11 straight years of winners). This week’s qualifying plays are below.

Strategies using CFB DraftKings Betting Splits data

VSiN.com’s BETTING SPLITS pages are among our most touted features and a fantastic resource for bettors. We have built these pages using the data DraftKings provides to us detailing the breakdowns of the money and ticket splits for point spreads, moneylines and totals. In an article published in the 2023 College Football Betting Guide, Makinen outlined 13 systematic strategies for successfully using the DK Betting Splits Data that developed in the ’22 season. Here are the systems and qualifying plays for this week’s games (records are shown heading into the 2023 season) as of Tuesday. These can AND WILL change, so continue to track and qualify the systems up until kickoff for best usage. There will be an updated betting splits article on Saturday morning.

DK Betting Splits system #1: When 80% or more of the HANDLE was on a particular side of an ATS wager, this majority group was just 40-47 ATS (46%). In other words, if you saw the big GREEN lights on the VSiN betting splits HANDLE page 80% or higher, it was best to fade it.

System matches (FADE ALL): FLORIDA STATE, PENN STATE, KANSAS STATE, IOWA STATE, WAKE FOREST, FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL, DUKE, WESTERN MICHIGAN, NORTH CAROLINA, OREGON STATE, ALABAMA, OKLAHOMA, APPALACHIAN STATE, TULANE, MIAMI OHIO, TENNESSEE, TOLEDO, UAB, SYRACUSE, CLEMSON, TCU, COLORADO, FRESNO STATE, KANSAS, ARIZONA

DK Betting Splits system #2: When 75%+ of the number of BETS were on a particular side of an ATS wager, this majority group was just 66-76 ATS (46.5%). Again, if you see the big GREEN lights on the VSiN betting splits # of BETS page 75% or higher, it was best to fade it.

System matches (FADE ALL): FLORIDA STATE, PENN STATE, KANSAS STATE, IOWA STATE, WISCONSIN, WAKE FOREST, NOTRE DAME, DUKE, NORTH CAROLINA, OREGON STATE, RUTGERS, ALABAMA, OKLAHOMA, APPALACHIAN STATE, OHIO STATE, TULANE, TENNESSEE, NEBRASKA, OKLAHOMA STATE, TOLEDO, UAB, VANDERBILT, SYRACUSE, CLEMSON, TCU, OREGON, COLORADO, KANSAS, ARIZONA

DK Betting Splits system #3: When the majority of the HANDLE was on ROAD FAVORITES for an ATS wager, this majority group was just 58-85 ATS (40.6%). More recreational bettors love road favorites because they are usually the better team. The point spread is the great equalizer.

System matches (FADE ALL): FLORIDA STATE, LIBERTY, PENN STATE, LOUISVILLE, LSU, KANSAS STATE, IOWA STATE, WAKE FOREST, ALABAMA, OKLAHOMA, TULANE, WASHINGTON, TENNESSEE, VANDERBILT, SYRACUSE, TCU, FRESNO STATE, KANSAS

DK Betting Splits system #4: Similar to #3 above, when the majority NUMBER of BETS was on ROAD FAVORITES for an ATS wager, this majority group was just 59-75 ATS (44.0%). Bet volume usually covers more public action, and again, recreational bettors love road favorites but don’t typically fare well long term.

System matches (FADE ALL): FLORIDA STATE, LIBERTY, PENN STATE, LSU, KANSAS STATE, IOWA STATE, WAKE FOREST, ALABAMA, OKLAHOMA, TULANE, WASHINGTON, GEORGIA STATE, TENNESSEE, VANDERBILT, SYRACUSE, TCU, FRESNO STATE, KANSAS

DK Betting Splits system #5: When the majority of the HANDLE was on ROAD UNDERDOGS for an ATS wager, this majority group was 100-82 ATS (54.9%). Now, 54.9% is less than the usual systems I like to present to readers, but this is a nice advantage against the usual majority win rates and goes to show that being on the “smart” side of majority handle can pay off. Remember, higher handle feels less “public” than higher bet counts.

System matches (PLAY ALL): UTAH STATE, UMASS, FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL, WESTERN MICHIGAN, MIAMI OHIO, SOUTH ALABAMA, AKRON, WYOMING

DK Betting Splits system #6: When the majority NUMBER of BETS was on ROAD UNDERDOGS for an ATS wager, this majority group was 98-75 ATS (56.6%). This is even better than the handle numbers in #5 actually and suggests that following public bettors getting behind road dogs can be an actionable strategy.

System matches (PLAY ALL): UTAH STATE, FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL, WESTERN MICHIGAN

DK Betting Splits system #7: When the majority of NUMBER of BETS backed a team in an ATS wager in NON-SATURDAY games, their 2022 season record was 72-46 (61%)! This goes to show that public bettors can be better performers with fewer games to choose from. A lot of times their mistake proves to be taking too many games on a Saturday.

System matches (PLAY ALL): MEMPHIS, MARYLAND, TEXAS-SAN ANTONIO, UTAH STATE

DK Betting Splits system #9: When the majority of the HANDLE backed a team in an FBS vs. FBS contest for an ATS wager, but the line moved towards the OPPOSITE team, this majority group was just 38-49 ATS (43.7%). This can be a tricky one to avoid, as it can be referred to as a trap in booking circles. The theory is that the more money a team gets on it, the more likely the line moves toward that team. This is the opposite scenario, and usually the public loses.

System matches (FADE ALL): MEMPHIS, TEXAS-SAN ANTONIO, MARYLAND, FLORIDA STATE, LOUISVILLE, PENN STATE, ALABAMA, DUKE, WESTERN MICHIGAN, OHIO STATE, NEBRASKA, TENNESSEE, AKRON, ARKANSAS, WEST VIRGINIA, OLE MISS, CLEMSON

DK Betting Splits system #10: The average college football total last year was 54.5. In games where the totals reached 57 or higher and oddsmakers thus expected them to be a little more explosive, when majority HANDLE bettors favored the UNDER, they were relatively sharp, going 35-21 (62.5%). This is pretty rare, as it occurred in only 56 of 776 games.

System matches (PLAY UNDER): Georgia Southern-Wisconsin (o/u at 63.5), Tennessee-Florida (o/u at 58.5), Georgia Tech-Ole Miss (o/u at 63), Kansas-Nevada (o/u at 59.5)

DK Betting Splits system #11: On games with totals of 45 or lower, 70%+ super majority HANDLE bettors siding with the UNDER were 15-8 (65.2%). Because not many public bettors embrace betting UNDERs, this didn’t produce a lot of plays but the super handle majority were sharp.

System matches (PLAY UNDER): Iowa State-Ohio (o/u at 44.5), Florida International-UConn (o/u at 42.5), Western Michigan-Iowa (o/u at 43), NIU-Nebraska (o/u at 43)

DK Betting Splits system #12: On games with totals of 45 or lower, 75%+ super majority number of BETS bettors bucking the low total and siding with the OVER were 22-13 (62.9%). Again, not a ton of plays here but the more public option of number of BETS was pretty good when going against the grain.

System match (PLAY OVER): Virginia Tech-Rutgers (o/u at 39.5)

DK Betting Splits system #13: On games where the HANDLE has a majority on totals and the # of BETS has the opposite majority, the majority HANDLE plays went 112-93 (54.6%). This could be described as more sharp action being displayed by the majority handle.

(PLAY OVER when there are opposite majorities and HANDLE favors OVER)

(PLAY UNDER when there are opposite majorities and HANDLE favors UNDER)

College football revenge systems

Neutral field underdogs are great in revenge

Home/Road revenge line range angles that have thrived

Double-digit road favorites have been solid producers in the revenge role, going 44-32 ATS (57.9%) since 2016.

System match: PLAY TULANE (-11 at Southern Miss)

Revenge teams that lost as double-digit favorites last time out

Teams looking to avenge outright losses where they were double-digit favorites have struggled, going just 84-107 ATS (44%) since 2016.

System matches: FADE TULANE (-11 at Southern Miss), FADE AIR FORCE (-10 vs. Utah State), FADE NORTHWESTERN (+19.5 at Duke), FADE GEORGIA STATE (-7.5 at Charlotte)

Extreme stat next game CFB betting systems

Huge week-to-week point spread movement

CFB teams that see their point spread in one game being at least 52 points worse than the prior game have performed very well in that follow-up contest since 2012, going 83-55 ATS (60.1%).

System match (PLAY ALL): NAVY +14.5 (at Memphis), BOWLING GREEN +40.5 (at Michigan), WESTERN KENTUCKY +28 (at Ohio State), LOUISIANA-MONROE +36 (at Texas A&M), FLORIDA +6.5 (vs. Tennessee), GEORGIA TECH +19 (at Ole Miss), WYOMING +29.5 (at Texas)

Upset losses as huge favorites snowball

Teams that lose in a college football game as favorites of 19.5 points or more have gone just 37-61 SU and 33-61-4 ATS (35.1%) in the follow-up game since 2012.

System match: FADE BUFFALO (+3.5 vs. Liberty)

Not taking advantage enough of turnovers can be a red flag

CFB FBS teams that benefited from a +5 turnover differential or greater but failed to score 44+ points in that game have responded by going just 31-50 ATS (38.3%) in their next contest since ’12.

System match: FADE SOUTH FLORIDA (+32 vs. Alabama)

Ride teams off of uber-dominant performances

Over the course of the last decade, CFB teams that scored 58 or more points in a game while allowing fewer than 10 have carried on the momentum well in the next outing, going 129-86 ATS (60%).

System match: PLAY LSU (-10 at Mississippi State), PLAY PENN STATE  (-15 at Illinois)

*Conflict: SAN JOSE STATE  and TOLEDO both qualify but play each other this week
