Week 5 in college football and Game 2 of Mickey Joseph's head coaching career at Nebraska is ushered in by the arrival of October. The Cornhuskers are hosting Indiana and there were two things that surprised me about this game. One, I'm shocked it is getting so much betting attention, and doubly shocked that it is heavy on the favorite.
We'll revisit this at the end of this column as we have 13 other games to go over and choose to always present the games in official Nevada rotation order. Stay tuned. Louisville (-14.5, 51) at Boston CollegeWe opened the game 15. They laid me the 15 and I went to 16. They took 16, took 15.5 and took 15. Now I'm at 14.5, so different sharp groups on different sides in this game. Lotta business in this game but no movement on the total.
No. 22 Wake Forest (-6.5, 63.5) at Florida StateWe opened the game 7 on Wake and there had been some two-way action. However, just today, we got some sharp action plus the 7 and we're down to 6.5. There has been some movement on the total. We opened 64.5 and they bet us Under. We're at 63.5.
No. 10 North Carolina State at No. 5 Clemson (-7, 44)We opened 6.5 and sharp money pushed us up to 7. The public looks like they are on Clemson as well, on the 6.5 and the 7. A big total move here, too. We opened this total 39.5 and they bet us Over 39.5, Over 40.5, Over 42 and Over 43, so we are all the way up to 44.
Michigan State at Maryland (-8, 59)
