AJ’s Angles
These are the top college football betting trends and systems for this week’s CFB games, handpicked by VSiN Analyst AJ Makinen.
In Week 12 or later in the season, when ranked road teams are favored by more than 6 points against non-ranked hosts, they are on a surge of 97-10 SU and 64-40-3 ATS (61.5%%) since 2017.
System Matches (PLAY ALL): TEXAS, TULANE, CLEMSON, OHIO STATE, PENN STATE, LOUISVILLE, BOISE STATE, OREGON, WASHINGTON STATE
EASTERN MICHIGAN is an impressive MAC road underdog, 18-4 ATS in the last 22
System Match (PLAY): EASTERN MICHIGAN (+10.5 at Ohio)
In college football games featuring two ranked teams with the home team being a double-digit favorite, Under the total boasts an impressive 40-15 (72.7%) record since the beginning of the 2017 season.
System Matches (PLAY UNDER): Mizzou-South Carolina (o/u at 44.5), Tennessee-Georgia (o/u at 48.5)

Strategies Using CFB DraftKings Betting Splits Data
One of the most touted features on the VSiN.com website, and a feature that we believe to be a fantastic resource for bettors is the betting splits pages. These systems have updated language and records heading into the 2024 season. Note that these systems only include games matching two FBS opponents against one another.
Here are the college football betting trends, systems and qualifying plays for this week’s games as of Tuesday afternoon. 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.
Here are the systems with updated language and records (from midway through this season) we will continue to track for the rest of the 2024 season.
CFB DK Betting Splits system #1: Going back to the start of the 2022 season, when 80% or more of the handle was on a particular side of an ATS wager, this majority group has gone just 116-133 ATS (46.6%), although a slight improvement at 34-36 ATS in 2024. This angle has produced at around a 46% consistently since first discovered, so I would expect an end-of-season slowdown. If you see the big green lights on the VSiN betting splits handle page 80% or higher, it is best to fade it.
System Matches (FADE ALL): EAST CAROLINA, NORTH TEXAS, LA TECH, TULANE, OHIO STATE, CALIFORNIA, PENN STATE, NOTRE DAME, AIR FORCE, BAYLOR, NEBRASKA, GEORGIA STATE, MARYLAND, SOUTH ALABAMA, TEXAS STATE, OREGON, MEMPHIS, WASHINGTON STATE, UNLV
CFB DK Betting Splits system #2: When 75%+ of the number of bets were on a particular side of an ATS wager since the start of the 2022 season, this majority group has gone just 231-251 ATS (47.9%). In 2022, it was 46.5%. In 2023, it was 46.7%, maintaining incredible consistency. This year, it is actually 67-63 ATS, so I would expect this to cool down over the rest of the season. Again, if you see the big green lights on the VSiN betting splits # of bets page 75% or higher, it is best to fade it.
System Matches (FADE ALL): TEXAS, OHIO STATE, JACKSONVILLE STATE, PENN STATE, LSU, JAMES MADISON, BOISE STATE, TENNESSEE, OREGON, WASHINGTON STATE
CFB DK Betting Splits system #3: When the majority of the handle was on road favorites for an ATS wager since the start of the 2022 season, this majority group is just 219-241 ATS (47.6%). Recreational bettors love road favorites because they are most often the better team. The point spread is the great equalizer. Bettors improved slightly on this system in 2023 and again in 2024 so far, but there is still plenty of reason to believe in and fade these over-backed road favorites.
System Matches (FADE ALL): EAST CAROLINA, NORTH TEXAS, TEXAS, TULANE, OHIO STATE, SAM HOUSTON STATE, PENN STATE, LOUISVILLE, LSU, BAYLOR, BOISE STATE, OREGON, WASHINGTON STATE
CFB DK Betting Splits system #4: When the majority of the handle has been on road underdogs for an ATS wager since the start of the 2022 season, this majority group has gone 177-167 ATS (51.5%). This 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 the majority handle can pay off.
System Matches (SLIGHT PLAY ALL): WYOMING, HOUSTON, LA TECH, MICHIGAN STATE, TROY, NEBRASKA, SOUTH ALABAMA, TENNESSEE, NEW MEXICO STATE, CINCINNATI, KANSAS
CFB DK Betting Splits system #5: When the majority number of bets has backed road underdogs for an ATS wager over the past two seasons, this majority group has gone 146-124 ATS (54.1%). This is even better than the handle numbers in #4 actually, and it is off to a strong 20-13 ATS start in 2024. It suggests that following public bettors getting behind road dogs can be an actionable strategy.
System Matches (PLAY ALL): NEBRASKA, MISSOURI, TENNESSEE, WAKE FOREST
CFB DK Betting Splits system #6: When the majority of the number of bets has backed a team in an ATS wager in non-Saturday games, their 2022 and 2023 season record was 62.5%! This year, it’s just 18-25 ATS, dropping the overall system mark to 168-115 ATS (59.4%). Still, it 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): Tuesday: TOLEDO, BOWLING GREEN, BUFFALO
Wednesday: MIAMI (OH), OHIO, NORTHERN ILLINOIS
Thursday: EAST CAROLINA
Friday: COLORADO STATE, NORTH TEXAS, WASHINGTON, ARIZONA
CFB DK Betting Splits system #7: When the majority of the handle backed the team with more season wins in an FBS vs. FBS contest for an ATS wager over the past two seasons, this majority group has gone just 405-444 ATS (47.7%), even after a 92-90 ATS start to this season. More than not, bettors like to back the “better team” in a matchup, regardless of what the point spread indicates. Again, the point spread is always the eternal equalizer. I would expect the late season results to bring this year’s record back into normalcy.
CFB DK Betting Splits system #8: The average college football total has steadied at about 52. In games since the start of the 2022 season 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 have been relatively sharp, going 57-44 (56.4%). This remains pretty rare, as it occurred in only 12 of 406 games this season.
System Matches (PLAY UNDER ALL): LOUISVILLE-STANFORD, ARKANSAS STATE-GEORGIA STATE, UAB-MEMPHIS, WASHINGTON STATE-NEW MEXICO
CFB DK Betting Splits system #9: Since the start of the 2022 season, on games with totals of 45 or lower, 70%+ super majority handle bettors siding with the Under have gone 26-15 (63.4%). Because not many public bettors embrace betting Unders, this doesn’t produce a lot of plays, but the super handle majority has been sharp.
System Match (PLAY UNDER): AKRON-N ILLINOIS
CFB DK Betting Splits system #10: Since the start of the 2022 season, on games with totals of 45 or lower, 75%+ super majority number of bets bettors bucking the low total and siding with the Over have gone 76-49 (60.8%), improving this season a bit after a 24-15 start. This system also improved its win percentage in 2023, so it’s on an upward climb. Again, not a ton of plays here in the grand scheme, but the more public option of the number of bets has been pretty good when going against the grain.
System Matches (PLAY OVER ALL): HOUSTON-ARIZONA, OHIO STATE-NORTHWESTERN, SAM HOUSTON STATE-KENNESAW STATE, OREGON STATE-AIR FORCE, MIZZOU-S CAROLINA
CFB DK Betting Splits system #11: Since the start of the 2024 season, on games in which there has been a slight majority number of money line bets on a team (51-60%), bettors boast a respectable 26-19 SU (57.7%) record for +5.37 units of profit and an ROI of 11.9%. This has happened in only about one of every ten games on average, so it is rare.
System Matches (PLAY ALL on ML): NORTH TEXAS, ARIZONA, TEMPLE, HAWAII, ARKANSAS STATE, TENNESSEE
CFB DK Betting Splits system #12: Since the start of the 2024 season, on games in which there has been a majority number of money line bets on a road underdog of +3 points or fewer, bettors are 12-8 SU (60%) for +6.04 units of profit and an ROI of 30.2%. This is an angle in which bettors tend to go away from their comfort zone and have been rewarded.
System Match (PLAY on ML): ARKANSAS STATE
