Colorado vs. Nebraska will be one of the most bet college football games this weekend.
It's a historic rivalry with both teams on the rise and returning to the sport's mainstream.
The game will be on NBC in primetime and is sure to garner plenty of attention.
If you plan on betting on the game, there is one betting trend in particular that you should be aware of.
The Buffaloes are 7.5-point underdogs to the Cornhuskers this Saturday in Lincoln. The line has not moved much despite plenty of action.
“Colorado continues to see heavy action against Nebraska this week. The public is all over the Buffaloes' money line while the sharps tend to be on the Cornhusker’s spread," BetMGM Trading Manager Seamus Magee said.
Colorado +225 is the most popular underdog moneyline play at BetMGM for the college football slate.
There should be some buyer beware when it comes to the Colorado money line. The Buffaloes have played in eight games with head coach Deion Sanders as an underdog. They are 1-7 in those games with the lone win coming against TCU as an underdog.
Despite all of the interest on the Colorado money line, the public and the sharps appear to be on Nebraska against the spread.
At ESPN BET, Nebraska -7.5 accounts for 80% of the bets and 85.5% of the handle.
The line opened at 6.5 and has been steady at 7.5 for most of the week.
The sportsbooks appear to be rooting for a Nebraska win and Colorado to cover the 7.5-point spread.
