Because of that, the payouts can be pretty small on a big favorite of -1000 for example. They require one team to win the game, without consideration of a point spread. NCAA MONEYLINE – more common in baseball and hockey betting, college football moneylines are growing in popularity. This means the favored team is favored by 17 points and must win by 18 or more in order to ‘cover the spread.’ The underdog can lose by 16 points and still win ATS. You will see one team as a negative figure (-17) while the opponent will be positive (+17). NCAA POINT SPREAD – college point spreads can be huge, with marquee programs like Alabama or Ohio State sometimes being favored by 40-45 points! It makes college football wagering a challenge, when you need so much scoring to win your bet.
