College Football Odds for Week 7

No. 10 USC vs No. 21 Notre Dame Odds

• Opening point spread: Notre Dame -2.5
• Opening moneyline: Notre Dame -130/USC +107
• Opening total: Over/Under 63 points scored
• Time: 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday (NBC)

UPDATE 6:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: An hour before kickoff, BetMGM Nevada has Notre Dame at -3 (-105). The Fighting Irish have bounced between the -2.5 opener and -3 throughout the week, at various juice.

"Tickets almost 2/1 USC and money just over 3/1," BetMGM Nevada's Scott Shelton said of action in the sportsbook's Las Vegas market.

That money difference is bolstered by a notable six-figure wager on USC +3 (-130).

Earlier today, BetMGM's Seamus Magee indicated that nationally, the book needs Notre Dame to at least win, if not cover.

"Is it too much to ask the Irish to win a big game? USC winning outright would be an awful result for us," Magee said.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET THURSDAY: Notre Dame has bounced between various iterations of -2.5 and -3 all week at PointsBet. The Fighting Irish are now -2.5 (-115) on two-way action with a lean toward USC. The Trojans are netting 53% of early tickets/55% of early cash.

PointsBet's total opened at 62.5 and peaked at 63 multiple times early in the week. It's now down to 60.5 (Under -115), although tickets and money are in the 3/1 range on the Over.

UPDATE MIDNIGHT ET MONDAY: USC (6-0 SU/2-4 ATS) remained unbeaten, but barely so in a Week 6 game it was supposed to win with ease. The Trojans closed as 21-point home faves against Arizona and fell into a 17-0 hole by early in the second quarter.

Southern Cal scrambled to take a 28-20 lead. But Arizona tied it at 28 midway through the fourth quarter, and the Trojans got dragged into overtime. USC ultimately prevailed 43-41 in triple OT.

Notre Dame would've gladly accepted an overtime win at Louisville, but got nothing of the sort. The Fighting Irish (5-2 SU and ATS) lost 33-20 as 6.5-point favorites.

TwinSpires opened Notre Dame -2.5 and is down to -2 early in the week. USC is taking 59% of early tickets and cash on the spread.

"At 6-0, USC is a trendy 'dog. But we've seen this spot last week, when numerous public 'dogs didn't cover – Mizzou, Maryland and Kentucky," Lucas said.

The total steamed from 63 to 61 early, but has already rebounded to the 63 opener.

"Sharp play on Under 63," Lucas said.

No. 25 Miami vs No. 12 North Carolina Odds

• Opening point spread: North Carolina -4
• Opening moneyline: North Carolina -175/Miami +143
• Opening total: Over/Under 56.5 points scored
• Time: 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday (ABC)

UPDATE 6:45 P.M. ET SATURDAY: At BetMGM Nevada, North Carolina is laying 3 points, climbing up from -2.5 (-115) in just the past few minutes. The Tar Heels opened -3.5 and spent most of the week there at various juice (-110/-115/-105). On Friday, the line dipped to UNC -3, and this morning it went to -2.5 (-115).

"It's 2.5/1 tickets and 10/1 money on North Carolina," BetMGM Nevada's Scott Shelton said.

He noted that the money split is skewed by a $115,000 bet on North Carolina -2.5 (-115).

The total opened and was at 57.5 most of the week, but early on spent time at 56.5 and 55.5.

"It's 3/1 tickets on the Over, 3/1 money on the Under," Shelton said, noting sharp play on both sides.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET FRIDAY: North Carolina spent most of the week at various iterations of -3.5 at BetMGM (-105/-110/-115). In just the past half hour, though, the Tar Heels dropped to -3. North Carolina is taking 63% of spread bets/62% of spread cash.

On the moneyline, Miami is getting a hefty 84% of early tickets, but money is much closer, at 52% on the Hurricanes.

The total went from 56.5 to 55.5 to 57.5, all on Monday, then Thursday afternoon returned to the 56.5 opener. Ticket count is 3/1 and money beyond 9/1 on the Over.

UPDATE MIDNIGHT ET MONDAY: This ACC clash should be a battle of unbeatens. But it was kept from being so when Miami coach Mario Cristobal made one of the dumbest play calls ever.

With the clock running and under 35 seconds left, and Georgia Tech having no timeouts, Miami could've taken a knee with its 20-17 lead and ended the game. Instead, the 'Canes – at Tech's 30-yard line – ran the ball, fumbled, and the Yellow Jackets recovered.

Miami (4-1 SU/3-2 ATS), laying 19.5 points, then lost 23-20 on Georgia Tech's final-seconds 44-yard touchdown pass.

North Carolina (5-0 SU/4-1 ATS) had no such brain cramps against Syracuse. The Tar Heels scored the first 27 points in a 40-7 victory laying 9.5 points at home.

TwinSpires opened UNC -4, receded to -3.5, then returned to -4. Tickets and money are running close to even early on.

"Sharp play on both sides after the opener. See-saw action so far," Lucas said.

The total hasn't moved off 56.5, with 55% of early tickets/57% of early dollars on the Under.

Missouri vs No. 24 Kentucky Odds

• Opening point spread: Kentucky -2.5
• Opening moneyline: Kentucky -132/Missouri +104
• Opening total: Over/Under 53.5 points scored
• Time: 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday (SEC Network)

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Kentucky went from -2.5 to -1.5 (-115) for a few minutes Thursday afternoon at BetMGM, then returned to -2.5. The Wildcats are nabbing 79% of spread bets/78% of spread money so far.

The total dropped from 53.5 to 50.5 by Thursday afternoon, with stops at 52.5 and 51.5 along the way. Ticket count is 2/1 plus on the Over, but money is running almost dead even.

UPDATE MIDNIGHT ET MONDAY: Missouri was leading LSU for significant portions of a Week 6 meeting and was covering the entire game. That is, until the final minute.

Trailing 42-39 and on their own 5-yard line, the Tigers (5-1 SU/3-3 ATS) threw a pick-six and lost 49-39 as 6-point home underdogs.

Like Mizzou, Kentucky was a trendy underdog spread play in Week 6. Unlike Mizzou, the Wildcats (5-1 SU/4-2 ATS) were never in it at No. 1 Georgia. Kentucky, catching 14.5 points, trailed 34-7 at halftime and lost 51-13.

The Wildcats opened -2.5 in TwinSpires' college football odds Week 7 market. The first move was up to -3, then the line returned to -2.5. Kentucky is getting 72% of early spread tickets/58% of early spread money.

"The public is expecting Kentucky to bounce back. It's already 5/1 tickets and money on Kentucky moneyline," Lucas said.

The total is stable at 53.5, with 52% of tickets on the Under/60% of money on the Over.

North Carolina State vs No. 17 Duke Odds

• Opening point spread: Duke -4
• Opening moneyline: Duke -170/N.C. State +143
• Opening total: Over/Under 48 points scored
• Time: 8 p.m. ET Saturday (ACC Network)

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Duke toggled between -3 and -3.5 this week at BetMGM and is currently -3 (-115). The Blue Devils are attracting 80% of early spread bets, but 53% of early spread money is on the underdog Wolfpack.

The total plummeted from 48.5 to 43.5 (Over -115) by Thursday afternoon, with several stops along the way throughout the week. Rain is in the forecast for the Durham area throughout the day Saturday. The Under is landing 74% of bets/86% of money.

UPDATE MIDNIGHT ET MONDAY: Duke (4-1 SU/3-2 ATS) got a well-earned breather with a Week 6 bye. In Week 5, the Blue Devils nearly knocked off Notre Dame, giving up a last-minute TD in a 20-14 setback as 5.5-point home 'dogs.

North Carolina State (4-2 SU/1-4-1 ATS) finally got a spread-cover in Week 6, though barely. The Wolfpack, giving 6.5 points, beat visiting Marshall 48-41.

This line has bounced around a bunch already at Caesars. Duke opened -4, got as low as -3 shortly thereafter Sunday, then made its way back to -4 early this afternoon. The Blue Devils are now -3.5.

The total fell from 48 to 46.5 by this afternoon.

No. 18 UCLA vs No. 15 Oregon State Odds

• Opening point spread: Oregon State -4.5
• Opening moneyline: Oregon State -190/UCLA +150
• Opening total: Over/Under 53.5 points scored
• Time: 8 p.m. ET Saturday (FOX)

UPDATE 7:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Oregon State is a 3.5-point favorite, where the Beavers have been since Wednesday at BetMGM Nevada. That's after Oregon State opened -4.5 and went to -4 Monday.

"It's 2/1 tickets and 20/1 money on Oregon State," BetMGM Nevada's Scott Shelton said.

However, the money discrepancy is due to one large bet on the Beavers, $110,000 at -3.5.

The total went from 52.5 to 53.5 to 54.5 early in the week, and it's been at 54.5 (Under -115) since Wednesday at BetMGM Nevada.

"Money and tickets are on the Under, 5/1 money and 2/1 tickets," Shelton said.

UPDATE 3 P.M. ET THURSDAY: This line steadily made its way from Oregon State -5 to -3.5 by Wednesday afternoon, with stops at -4.5 and -4 along the way at PointsBet. Still, early spread tickets are running 3/1 Beavers, and practically all the early spread money is on Oregon State.

The total climbed from 53.5 and got to 55 (Under -115) early Tuesday. It then backed up Wednesday to 54, where it remains. The Under is getting 61% of early bets and a hefty 94% of early dollars.

UPDATE MIDNIGHT ET MONDAY: UCLA (4-1 SU/3-2 ATS) earned a solid Week 6 home win over then-No. 13 and unbeaten Washington State. The Bruins, actually giving 3 points at home, scored two fourth-quarter TDs to claim a 25-17 victory.

Oregon State (5-1 SU/4-2 ATS) won and cashed in a high-scoring shootout against Cal. The Beavers, 7.5-point road favorites, had a 17-point fourth quarter to pull away for a 52-40 win.

Oregon State is down a half-point from -4.5 to -4 on TwinSpires' college football Week 7 odds board. The Beavers are taking 64% of early tickets, while 54% of early cash is on the Bruins.

"Sharp play on UCLA +4.5 early in the week," Lucas said.

The total climbed from 53.5 to 54.5 this evening, with 66% of tickets/62% of money on the Over.

BetMGM Nevada's Scott Shelton said there was sharp play on Pittsburgh +8.

"Tickets are really close, a handful more on Louisville. But it's just over 2/1 Louisville on money count," BetMGM Nevada's Scott Shelton said.

"Tickets and money dead even. Sharp play on Under 47.5 and Under 46.5," Shelton said.

UPDATE MIDNIGHT ET MONDAY: LSU trailed at Missouri for significant portions of a Week 6 matchup. And the Tigers weren't covering the 6-point spread the entire game.

Until the Bayou Bengals got a pick-six in the final minute. That gave LSU (4-2 SU/3-3 ATS) a 49-39 victory.

Auburn had a bye in Week 6. In Week 5, the Tigers gave Georgia far more than expected, losing 27-20 as 14-point home pups.

UPDATE MIDNIGHT ET MONDAY: Georgia (6-0 SU/2-4 ATS) must have heard all the naysayers heading into Week 6. The response was massive against a talented Kentucky squad. The Bulldogs, giving 14.5 points at home, stormed to a 34-7 halftime lead en route to a 51-13 beatdown.

Vanderbilt (2-5 SU/0-7 ATS) has been the worst spread bet in the nation this season. And the Commodores are probably dying for a break, as they've played each week since Week 0. In Week 6, Vandy lost 38-14 as an 18-point 'dog at Florida.

Caesars Sports crept from Georgia -31 to -31.5 Sunday afternoon.

No. 3 Ohio State vs Purdue Odds

• Opening point spread: Ohio State -21.5
• Opening moneyline: Ohio State -1400/Purdue +800
• Opening total: Over/Under 51.5 points scored
• Time: Noon ET Saturday (Peacock)

UPDATE 11: 15 A.M. ET SATURDAY: Ohio State is down to -17 (-120) this morning at Caesars Sports, a 2-point drop just today. And that's after the Buckeyes opened -21.5 Sunday and fell back to -19.5 Monday.

Still, spread tickets are running 4/1 and spread money 2/1-plus on Ohio State.

Caesars' total opened at 51.5, bottomed out at 48 midweek and has since shot up to 53. Current Caesars splits aren't available.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET THURSDAY: PointsBet initially backed up from Ohio State -20 to -19 Monday morning, then went to -19.5 within a couple of hours. The number hasn't moved since, with spread tickets and money beyond 4/1 on the Buckeyes.

The total opened at 52 (Under -115) and slid all the way to 48 (Over -115) by Wednesday afternoon. It's since rebounded to 50.5, with the Over taking 55% of bets/73% of dollars early on.

UPDATE MIDNIGHT ET MONDAY: Coming off a bye week after beating Notre Dame, Ohio State (5-0 SU/2-2-1 ATS) was sluggish early against Maryland. The Buckeyes trailed 10-0 in the second quarter, but scored 37 of the final 44 points to win 37-17 as 17-point home favorites.

Purdue (2-4 SU and ATS) lost to Iowa 20-14 as a 2.5-point road pup.

By Monday morning, Caesars Sports had already slipped from its Ohio State -21.5 opener to -19.5. The total also fell in Caesars' college football odds Week 7 market, from 51.5 to 50.

Indiana vs No. 2 Michigan Odds

• Opening point spread: Michigan -34
• Opening moneyline: Michigan -25000/Indiana +2500
• Opening total: Over/Under 49.5 points scored
• Time: Noon ET Saturday (FOX)

UPDATE 1:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: BetMGM opened Michigan -35.5, quickly dropped to -34.5 Sunday evening, then went to -33.5 Tuesday. The line hasn't moved since, as early bettors take all those points with Indiana. Ticket count is almost 2/1 and money 2.5/1 on the Hoosiers.

The total opened at 49.5, tumbled to 46.5 by Monday evening, then fell further to 44.5 Wednesday. That 44.5 lasted only a few minutes before BetMGM went to 45.5, where the total sits now. Weather is playing a role in the falling total. There's a 90% chance of rain in Ann Arbor, along with winds of 10-20 mph.

Still, ticket count is 2.5/1 and money nearly 4/1 on the Over. And by ticket count, Indiana-Michigan is the third-most-bet Over at BetMGM on the college football Week 7 odds board.

UPDATE MIDNIGHT ET MONDAY: Michigan (6-0 SU/2-3-1 ATS) hammered Minnesota 52-10 as 19-point road chalk in Week 6. Indiana (2-3 SU/3-2 ATS) had a Week 6 bye, after losing at Maryland 44-17 getting 14.5 points.

Michigan inched down from 34 to 33.5 this evening at Caesars. The total is already down 2 points to 47.5.

Syracuse vs No. 4 Florida State Odds

• Opening point spread: Florida State -19
• Opening moneyline: Florida State -900/Syracuse +600
• Opening total: Over/Under 56.5 points scored
• Time: Noon ET Saturday (ABC)

UPDATE 11:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Caesars Sports opened Florida State -19 Sunday afternoon and went straight to -18 within a few minutes. In less than an hour, the Seminoles were down to -17.5, where they remained all week.

This morning, though, the line ticked up to 'Noles -18.5. Florida State is netting 78% of spread bets, but money is much closer, at 56% on the Seminoles.

The total dipped from 56.5 to 55 by Thursday, and it's down another 2 points today to 53. Current Caesars splits aren't available.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET THURSDAY: A couple sportsbooks opened this matchup as high as Florida State -19/-20 in the college football Week 7 odds market. Those shops immediately took sharp hits to hammer this line into shape.

PointsBet opened Florida State -17.5 later Sunday afternoon and hasn't moved off that number, save for a brief juice adjustment to -17.5 (-105). Early spread tickets are running 3/1 on the Seminoles, while early spread cash is 2/1 on the Orange.

The total inched from 56.5 to 56 Monday, then fell to 54.5 (Over -125) in just the past hour. Within a few minutes, the number went to 55.5 (Under -115). All that noted, ticket count is 2.5/1 and money 9/1 on the Over.

UPDATE MIDNIGHT ET MONDAY: Florida State (5-0 SU/3-2 ATS) topped Virginia Tech 39-17, falling just short of covering a hefty 24-point spread. Syracuse (4-2 SU/3-2-1 ATS) got rolled 40-7 as a 9.5-point underdog at North Carolina.
