VSiN Analytics College Football Report for Week 4
The following is a collection of analytical data, betting systems and strength ratings featured on VSiN and qualified for the college football games of Week 4. This report is meant to emulate the process that Steve Makinen and other members of the VSiN Analytics team undergo when handicapping each week’s college football board.
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). 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.
College Football Betting Splits | College Football Odds
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): COASTAL CAROLINA, NC STATE, OKLAHOMA, FLORIDA STATE, RUTGERS, TROY, KENTUCKY, WESTERN MICHIGAN, ILLINOIS, MARYLAND, TENNESSEE, ARIZONA, WYOMING, SOUTH CAROLINA, NORTH CAROLINA, UNLV, USC, WASHINGTON
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): NC STATE, OKLAHOMA, FLORIDA STATE, KENTUCKY, DUKE, ILLINOIS, MARYLAND, COLORADO, MIAMI FLA., TENNESSEE, JACKSONVILLE STATE, LIBERTY, FLORIDA, ARIZONA, TEXAS STATE, TEXAS, LOUISIANA, MISSOURI, MINNESOTA, SOUTH CAROLINA, NORTH CAROLINA, JAMES MADISON, UNLV, USC, WASHINGTON, HAWAII
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): WISCONSIN, NC STATE, BOISE STATE, OKLAHOMA, FLORIDA STATE, KENTUCKY, GEORGIA SOUTHERN, DUKE, MARYLAND, MIAMI FLA., TEXAS TECH, RICE, LIBERTY, ARIZONA, OREGON STATE, TEXAS, OHIO STATE, NORTH CAROLINA, JAMES MADISON, UNLV, USC
DK Betting Splits system #4: Similarly to No. 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): WISCONSIN, NC STATE, BOISE STATE, AIR FORCE, OKLAHOMA, FLORIDA STATE, KENTUCKY, GEORGIA SOUTHERN, OHIO, DUKE, MARYLAND, MIAMI FLA., TEXAS TECH, RICE, LIBERTY, SOUTHERN MISS, ARIZONA, OREGON STATE, TEXAS, MINNESOTA, OHIO STATE, NORTH CAROLINA, JAMES MADISON, UNLV, USC
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): VIRGINIA TECH, RUTGERS, TULSA, WESTERN MICHIGAN, OLE MISS, BYU, BOSTON COLLEGE, COLORADO, CENTRAL MICHIGAN, GEORGIA TECH, SAM HOUSTON STATE, AKRON, UCF, KENT STATE
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 No. 5 actually and suggests that following public bettors getting behind road dogs can be an actionable strategy.
System matches (PLAY ALL): VIRGINIA TECH, RUTGERS, WESTERN MICHIGAN, OLE MISS, BYU, BOSTON COLLEGE, COLORADO, OKLAHOMA STATE, COLORADO STATE, KENT STATE
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): COASTAL CAROLINA, WISCONSIN, NC STATE, BOISE STATE, AIR FORCE
DK Betting Splits system #8: When the majority of the HANDLE backed the team with more season wins in an FBS vs. FBS contest for an ATS wager, this majority group was just 100-131 ATS (43.3%). 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 the eternal equalizer.
System matches (FADE ALL): WISCONSIN, NC STATE, OKLAHOMA, FLORIDA STATE, SYRACUSE, KENTUCKY, GEORGIA SOUTHERN, OLE MISS, DUKE, MARYLAND, MIAMI FLA., RICE, TENNESSEE, FLORIDA, HOUSTON, MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE, ARIZONA, TEXAS STATE, TEXAS, GEORGIA, LOUISIANA, UCF, NORTH CAROLINA, JAMES MADISON, UNLV, USC, WASHINGTON
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 toward 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): COASTAL CAROLINA, WISCONSIN, BOISE STATE, SAN JOSE STATE, TEXAS A&M, TROY, TCU, COLORADO, BYU, MIAMI FLA., OLE MISS, DUKE, BOWLING GREEN, UTAH, CENTRAL MICHIGAN, LIBERTY, LSU, FLORIDA, ARKANSAS STATE, LOUISIANA, MISSOURI, KENT STATE
DK Betting Splits system #10: The average college football total last year was 54.5. In games in which 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): OKLAHOMA-CINCINNATI, WESTERN KENTUCKY-TROY, OLE MISS-ALABAMA, GEORGIA TECH-WAKE FOREST, CAL-WASHINGTON, NEW MEXICO STATE-HAWAII
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): BOISE STATE-SAN DIEGO STATE, MINNESOTA-NORTHWESTERN, OKLAHOMA STATE-IOWA STATE
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 matches (PLAY OVER): BOISE STATE-SAN DIEGO STATE, VIRGINIA TECH-MARSHALL, RUTGERS-MICHIGAN, SAM HOUSTON STATE-HOUSTON, APPALACHIAN STATE-WYOMING
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.
System matches:
PLAY UNDER when opposite majorities and HANDLE favors UNDER
PLAY OVER when opposite majorities and HANDLE favors OVER

System matches: PLAY KENTUCKY
Revenge teams that lost as double-digit favorites last time out
2. Teams looking to avenge outright losses in which they were double-digit favorites have struggled, going just 87-108 ATS (44.6%) since 2016.
System matches: FADE LOUISVILLE, FADE KENTUCKY, FADE COLORADO STATE
Key stats of the team seeking revenge matter
3. Better defensive teams are more successful in exacting revenge than prolific offenses. Since the start of the 2016 season, teams allowing 24 PPG or less have gone 565-510 ATS (52.6%) as compared with those scoring 35 PPG or more, 354-383 ATS (48%).
System matches (good defensive teams allowing <=24 PPG): WEST VIRGINIA, LOUISVILLE, FLORIDA STATE, PITTSBURGH, RUTGERS, TOLEDO, IOWA STATE, NORTHWESTERN, UTAH, CALIFORNIA, WASHINGTON STATE, MICHIGAN STATE, KENTUCKY, SMU, OLE MISS, BAYLOR, ARKANSAS, TEXAS A&M, NOTRE DAME

College Football Systems based on AP poll rankings
The following college football betting 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 143-73 SU and 122-88-6 ATS (58.1%).
System matches (PLAY ALL): OREGON, UTAH, ALABAMA, WASHINGTON STATE, NOTRE DAME, PENN STATE

System matches (PLAY ALL): OREGON, UTAH, ALABAMA, PENN STATE
· Adding another point spread wrinkle to the last angle, when better-ranked home teams have been single-digit favorites or underdogs, they have gone 42-13 SU and 38-15-2 ATS (71.7%) since ’17.
System matches: PLAY UTAH (-4.5 vs. UCLA), PLAY ALABAMA (-7 vs. Ole Miss)
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 32-12 (72.7%) 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 19-6 (76%).

System matches (PLAY BOTH): TEMPLE (+23.5 vs. Miami Fla.), BAYLOR (+15 vs. Texas)
Dismal offensive performances carry over

System match: FADE SAM HOUSTON STATE (+12.5 at Houston)
Not taking advantage enough of turnovers can be a red flag
7. 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 32-50 ATS (39%) in their next contest since ’12.
System matches: FADE WISCONSIN (-6 at Purdue), FADE FRESNO STATE (-27.5 vs. Kent State), FADE PENN STATE (-14.5 vs. Iowa)
Ride teams off of uber-dominant performances
8. 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 132-87 ATS (60.3%).
