System Match (PLAY): FRESNO STATE (-14.5 at New Mexico)

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 systems and qualifying plays for this week’s games. 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.

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 82-97 ATS (45.8%). This angle has produced at around 46% consistently since first discovered. 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): OHIO STATE, INDIANA, WEST VIRGINIA, ARMY, CENTRAL MICHIGAN, UTAH STATE, BUFFALO, RUTGERS, USC, NOTRE DAME, LSU, TCU, NORTH TEXAS, UCONN, LOUISIANA TECH, SAM HOUSTON STATE, SOUTH CAROLINA, TENNESSEE, OLE MISS, BOSTON COLLEGE, OREGON STATE

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 164-188 ATS (46.6%). In 2022, it was 46.5%; in 2023, it was 46.7%, maintaining incredible consistency. 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): OHIO STATE, INDIANA, ARMY, TULANE, KENTUCKY, UTAH STATE, USC, NOTRE DAME, MEMPHIS, DUKE, MISSOURI, TCU, MIAMI (FL), TOLEDO, SOUTH CAROLINA, TENNESSEE, OLE MISS, TEXAS, OREGON 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 164-190 ATS (46.3%). 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 but there is still plenty of reason to believe in and fade these over-backed road favorites.
System Matches (FADE ALL): TULANE, FLORIDA, VIRGINIA, UTAH STATE, USC, UTAH, DUKE, TCU, IOWA, TENNESSEE 

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 142-132 ATS (51.8%). 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): SOUTH ALABAMA, HOUSTON, JAMES MADISON, NC STATE, SOUTHERN MISS, BUFFALO, GEORGIA TECH, RUTGERS, ARKANSAS, UTEP, EAST CAROLINA, NORTHWESTERN, BOWLING GREEN

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 126-111 ATS (53.2%). This is even better than the handle numbers in #4 actually, and though it was down a bit for 2023, it suggests that following public bettors getting behind road dogs can be an actionable strategy.
System Matches (SLIGHT PLAY ALL): NC STATE, GEORGIA TECH, RUTGERS, ARKANSAS, CALIFORNIA 

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 and 2023 season record was 150-90 (62.5%)! This goes to show that public bettors can be better performers with less games to choose from. A lot of times, their mistake proves to be taking too many games on a Saturday.
System Matches (PLAY ALL): Thursday: APPALACHIAN STATE
Friday: SYRACUSE, NEBRASKA, WASHINGTON STATE

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 313-354 ATS (46.9%). 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.
System Matches (FADE ALL): SYRACUSE, OHIO STATE, NC STATE, INDIANA, ARMY, UTAH STATE, SOUTHERN MISS, PENN STATE, LSU, NOTRE DAME, GEORGIA TECH, DUKE, MISSOURI, SAM HOUSTON STATE, NORTH TEXAS, SOUTH CAROLINA, OLE MISS, TEXAS, OREGON STATE

CFB DK Betting Splits system #8: The average college football total has steadied at about 54. 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 51-38 (57.3%). This is pretty rare, as it occurred in only 89 of 1567 games.
System Matches (PLAY UNDER ALL): STANFORD-SYRACUSE, FLORIDA-MISSISSIPPI STATE, SOUTHERN MISS-JAX STATE, GA TECH-LOUISVILLE, TULSA-LA TECH, FRESNO 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 25-13 (63.2%). 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 Matches (PLAY UNDER ALL): RICE-ARMY, BUFFALO-NORTHERN ILLINOIS, RUTGERS-VA TECH, CALIFORNIA-FLORIDA STATE

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 52-34 (60.5%). This system improved its win percentage in 2023. 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): NEBRASKA-ILLINOIS, OHIO-KENTUCKY, RUTGERS-VA TECH, MIAMI (OH)-NOTRE DAME, NORTHWESTERN-WASHINGTON, NEW MEXICO STATE-SAM HOUSTON STATE

College Football Revenge Systems

Home/Road revenge line range angles that have thrived
Double-digit road favorites have been solid producers in the revenge role, going 47-34 ATS (58%) since 2016.

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 103-116 ATS (47%) since 2016.
System Match (FADE): FRESNO ST (-14.5 at New Mexico)

Key stats of the team seeking revenge matter
Better defensive teams are more successful in exacting revenge than prolific offense. Since the start of the 2016 season, teams allowing 24 PPG or less have gone 615-543 ATS (53.1%).
System Matches (PLAY ALL): ILLINOIS, HOUSTON, GEORGIA TECH, IOWA, VIRGINIA TECH, FRESNO STATE, ARKANSAS, SMU, VANDERBILT, NAVY, SAM HOUSTON STATE

College Football Systems Based Upon AP Poll Rankings

The following college football betting trend systems take into account whether or not teams in a non-neutral field game are ranked in the AP poll

CFB AP Poll Rankings System #1 – Games featuring two ranked teams
In games featuring two ranked teams since 2017, home teams are now 172-85 SU and 146-103-8 ATS (58.6%).
System Matches (PLAY ALL): NEBRASKA (-8.5 vs. Illinois), MICHIGAN (+5.5 vs. USC), OKLAHOMA (+7 vs. Tennessee), OKLAHOMA STATE (-3 vs. Utah)

Digging deeper into that data, you will find that when the home team has been ranked better, those teams have gone 104-18 SU and 76-42-4 ATS (64.4%).
System Match (PLAY): NEBRASKA (-8.5 vs. Illinois)

Adding another point spread wrinkle to the last angle, when better-ranked home teams have been single-digit favorites or underdogs, they have gone 54-15 SU and 47-19-3 ATS (71.2%) since 2017.
System Match (PLAY): NEBRASKA (-8.5 vs. Illinois)

CFB AP Poll Rankings System #4
In college football games featuring two ranked teams with the home team being a double-digit favorite, Under the total boasts an impressive 37-15 (71.2%) record since the beginning of the 2017 season. When adding a qualifier of totals higher than 56 to that system, the Under record jumps to 22-7 (75.9%).
System Match (PLAY UNDER if spread becomes double-digits): Illinois-Nebraska (o/u at 43)

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 94-63 ATS (59.9%).
System Match (PLAY ALL): GEORGIA TECH (+10.5 at Louisville), GEORGIA SOUTHERN (+36 at Ole Miss)

Unexpected blowout games are bad future indicators for both teams
Both college football teams coming off a game which was decided by a margin 38 points or more different from the final point spread, either win or lose, have struggled in the next contest, going just 130-175-1 ATS (42.6%) over the last decade-plus.
System Match (FADE ALL): SOUTH ALABAMA (+7.5 at App State), NOTRE DAME (-28 vs Miami (OH)), PURDUE (+5.5 at Oregon State)

Prolific offensive performances don’t last
FBS teams that gain 735 or more yards offensively in their prior game have gone just 29-44 ATS (39.7%) in the follow up contest since 2012.
System Matches (FADE ALL): MIAMI (FL) (-16.5 at USF), TENNESSEE (-7 at Oklahoma)

Not taking advantage enough of turnovers can be a red flag
CFB FBS teams that benefitted from a +5 turnover differential or greater but failed to score 44+ points in that game have responded by going just 36-53 ATS (40.4%) in their next contest since 2012.
System Match (FADE): FLORIDA ATLANTIC (+2.5 at UConn)

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 137-100 ATS (57.8%).
System Match (PLAY ALL): NOTRE DAME (-28 vs Miami (OH)), GEORGIA TECH (+10.5 at Louisville), MIAMI (FL) (-16.5 at USF), TENNESSEE (-7 at Oklahoma)
