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.
-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 94-65 ATS (59.1%).
System Match (PLAY): KENTUCKY (+20.5 at Texas)
-Teams playing at home in conference games and coming off a blowout loss by more than 45 points are just 44-74 ATS (37.3%) since 2010.
System Match (FADE): SOUTHERN MISS (+22.5 vs S Alabama)

Trend Match (FADE): UCF (-3 at WVU)

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 ‘24. This angle has produced at around 46% consistently since first discovered, so I would expect an end of season slow down. 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): WESTERN MICHIGAN, UTSA, SAN JOSE ST, SMU, ILLINOIS, TENNESSEE, BOWLING GREEN, RICE, CHARLOTTE, SOUTH ALABAMA, COASTAL CAROLINA, SOUTH FLORIDA, PITTSBURGH, ARKANSAS, MISSOURI, TEXAS ST, BAYLOR, OLD DOMINION, IOWA ST, VIRGINIA TECH, FRESNO ST
CFB DK Betting Splits system #2: When 75%+ of the number of BETS were on a particular side of an ATS wager since start of ’22 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): SMU, ILLINOIS, TENNESSEE, JAMES MADISON, COLORADO, TEXAS TECH, MISSOURI, TEXAS ST, BOISE ST, WASHINGTON ST, TEXAS A&M, ALABAMA
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 ’22 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 ’23 and again in ’24 so far but there is still plenty of reason to believe in and fade these over-backed road favorites.
System Matches (FADE ALL): AKRON, WESTERN MICHIGAN, SMU, OLE MISS, ILLINOIS, BOWLING GREEN, RICE, JAMES MADISON, CHARLOTTE, FIU, SOUTH ALABAMA, PENN ST, TEXAS TECH, MISSOURI, BAYLOR, BOISE ST, WASHINGTON ST, IOWA ST, TEXAS A&M, ALABAMA, VIRGINIA TECH, USC
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 ’22 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 majority handle can pay off.
System Matches (SLIGHT PLAY ALL): UCONN, INDIANA, NEW MEXICO ST, LA MONROE, WISCONSIN, NORTHWESTERN, SAN DIEGO ST, KENTUCKY, PITTSBURGH, VANDERBILT, CINCINNATI, AIR FORCE
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 ’24. It suggests that following public bettors getting behind road dogs can be an actionable strategy.
System Matches (PLAY ALL): INDIANA, ARIZONA, WISCONSIN, BYU, STANFORD, PITTSBURGH, MARSHALL, VANDERBILT, AIR FORCE, COLORADO ST
CFB DK Betting Splits system #6: When the majority of NUMBER of BETS has backed a team in an ATS wager in NON-SATURDAY games, their 2022 & 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 less games to choose from.
System Matches (PLAY ALL): Tuesday: AKRON, WESTERN MICHIGAN, MIAMI OH
Wednesday: TOLEDO, EASTERN MICHIGAN
Thursday: GEORGIA TECH
Friday: UTSA, MICHIGAN ST, UNLV
CFB DK Betting Splits system #7: When the majority of the HANDLE backed the team with more season wins in a 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.
CFB DK Betting Splits system #8: The average college football total has steadied at about 52. In games since the start of the ’22 season where the totals reached 57 or higher and odds makers 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): WAKE FOREST-MIAMI FL, W KENTUCKY-LIBERTY, BOWLING GREEN-BALL ST, GA SOUTHERN-C CAROLINA, UCF-W VIRGINIA, TULSA-S FLORIDA, SAN DIEGO ST-UTAH ST, TEXAS TECH-OKLAHOMA ST, GEORGIA ST-TEXAS ST, BOISE ST-WYOMING
CFB DK Betting Splits system #9: Since the start of the ’22 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 UNDER’s, this doesn’t produce a lot of plays but the super handle majority has been sharp.
System Matches (PLAY UNDER ALL): OHIO-TOLEDO, NORTHWESTERN-MICHIGAN, AIR FORCE-NEVADA
CFB DK Betting Splits system #10: Since the start of the ’22 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 improved also its win percentage in ’23 so it’s on an upward climb. Again, not a ton of plays here in the grand scheme but the more public option of number of BETS has been pretty good when going against the grain.
System Matches (PLAY OVER ALL): N ILLINOIS-MIAMI OH, FIU-KENNESAW ST, PENN ST-MINNESOTA, NOTRE DAME-ARMY
CFB DK Betting Splits system #11: Since the start of the ’24 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 a 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): EASTERN MICHIGAN, OLE MISS, INDIANA, UAB, KENNESAW ST, ARIZONA, BYU, TEXAS TECH, DUKE
CFB DK Betting Splits system #12: Since the start of the ’24 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 a ROI of 30.2%. This is an angle in which bettors tend to go away from their comfort zone and have been rewarded.
System Matches (PLAY ALL on ML): WISCONSIN, BYU, EAST CAROLINA

System Matches (PLAY ALL): UNLV, SAM HOUSTON ST, JAMES MADISON, NEBRASKA, INDIANA, WESTERN KENTUCKY, LA LAFAYETTE, AUBURN, USC
Revenge is sweet against porous defensive foes
