Despite entering as a three-touchdown underdog after a humbling defeat at the hands of Ohio University, the Bowling Green State University football team dispatched Georgia Tech on Saturday, knocking off the Atlantic Coast Conference foe 38-27.
For those who took the Bowling Green money line, the +800 that FanDuel offered translated into a nice little payday. A parlay with the over, which the scoring total cleared by more than 10 points, made that payday even bigger.
The upset, however, failed to keep Bowling Green from being an double-digit underdog in this Saturday’s meeting at Miami (Ohio). Both FanDuel and BetMGM have the host RedHawks as an 11.5-point favorite, with FanDuel offering a +400 money line on the Falcons.
Toledo, Ohio State, and Michigan are all double-digit favorites this week, while Notre Dame is a touchdown favorite at Louisville. Here’s what a sampling of betting outlets had posted late Sunday afternoon for games of area interest.
