By SPORTSBETTING.COM
Bettors rejoice! Not only do you get college football to wager on tonight, but you get baseball playoffs on the menu as well.
All the MLB playoff offerings can be found at SPORTSBETTING.COM.
Meanwhile, the NCAA football sked features an SEC East game between Heisman candidate QB Andre Woodson and his No. 8 Kentucky Wildcats and the No. 11 South Carolina Gamecocks.
Woodson also happens to lead the current Scripps Howard Heisman Trophy poll and in case you were wondering is listed at +800 to take the prestigious award.
The last time these two teams met, the Gamecocks covered as 3-point favorites in a 24-17 victory. The oddsmakers have South Carolina again favored in this one, this time by 3? and the total at 57?.
These Top 15 teams are seeing a near even share of action with Kentucky receiving 55% and South Carolina getting 45%.
Let?s have a look at a few more NCAA games to see where the action is heading.
Utah at Louisville
Two losses in the middle of September have knocked the Louisville Cardinals and pre-season Heisman fave QB Brian Brohm out of the Top 25.
Hoping to avoid an early swoon however, they managed to bounce back last week to cover at -8? against North Carolina State in a 29-10 victory. Thus far in the season, Louisville has put up 238 points for, which equals 47.6 points a game.
Not surprisingly, the offensively inclined Cards are listed as a 14?-point chalk.
Bettors seem to be thinking they can cover that number, as they are betting on Louisville at an 85% clip with the remaining 15% going to Utah.
Oklahoma at Texas
Victims of ?Upset Saturday? last weekend then No. 3 Oklahoma Sooners saw their title aspirations dealt a blow when Colorado pulled an improbable upset and beat Oklahoma 27-24, covering as 23-point dogs.
The Texas Longhorns, then No. 7, didn?t walk away unscathed either, laying an egg and failing to cover as a 15-point chalk against Kansas in a lopsided 41-21 loss.
Going into their Red River Rivalry game this weekend, both teams are guaranteed to be fighting mad. Texas took last year?s contest covering the 3?-point spread in a 28-10 win. This time around it is the Sooners that are the chalk, listed at -11.
And with the line favoring Oklahoma, bettors are furiously wagering on the Sooners to payout at a 90% rate.
Virginia Tech at Clemson
In this ACC battle, The Virginia Tech Hokies travel to Memorial Stadium in South Carolina to take on the Clemson Tigers.
Ranked No. 15 and 22 in the AP respectively, Virginia Tech and Clemson?s last match finished with the Hokies beating the Tigers 24-7, covering the 4-point spread in the process. Saturday?s game sees the Tigers listed at -5? at SPORTSBETTING.COM.
Despite being ranked below Virginia Tech however, Clemson is seeing a higher percentage of the action with 80% of the bets going the Tigers? way.
Dog Bites:
A couple of underdogs from the NCAA card are seeing steady early betting action.
Although the Wisconsin Badgers are in the thick of the race for Top spot atop the polls, currently the AP?s No. 5, they go into this weekend?s matchup with the Illinois Fighting Illini listed as a 2?-point underdog.
The Badgers are however, seeing about 88% of the action in this Big Ten battle.
Another Top 25 team that is headed out on the road and listed as an underdog are the Georgia Bulldogs. The AP?s No. 12 team, Georgia is fresh off pasting Mississippi 45-17 where the Bulldogs covered as 15?-point favorites.
This week though, they are listed as a 1?-point dog as they travel to Knoxville, Tennessee to take on the favored Volunteers. The road Bulldogs are seeing 75% of the action in this contest.

More NCAA Numbers:
- Cincinnati is 1-4 ATS the last five times they have visited Rutgers. However, bettors are backing the underdog Bearcats with 65% of the early action.
- Iowa holds a spiffy 6-1 ATS mark in their most recent seven games vs. Penn State. Despite this impressive mark, the early action is heavily favoring JoePa?s Nittany Lions, to the tune of 80% action on the home side.
- Kansas State usually roughs up Kansas in this situation, as they are a perfect 6-0 ATS the last six times they have hosted the Jayhawks. Bettors are backing them at an 85% clip in this one.
- USC has only covered the number once the last four times they have hosted Stanford. This weekend they are laying almost 40 points, and still bettors are lining up behind the Trojans at a 75% clip.
There are an overwhelming number of wagering options this week, from all the football, both college and pro, plus the MLB playoffs and the NHL season gets going.
Good luck.
