Sports With Week 0 train to kick off the college soccer season, it’s now not suitable the video games getting bettors’ attention. School Soccer Playoff odds are, clearly, rather standard. So, too, are the odds for odd-season win totals.
Particularly for one crew expected to be in the thick of the nationwide championship scamper.
“All the things this summer has been on Ohio Instruct: To win the nationwide championship, to win the Spacious Ten, to present the playoffs, to head undefeated and Over 10.5 wins,” BetMGM procuring and selling supervisor Seamus Magee acknowledged.
Magee shares his in the serve of-the-counter insights on which groups are seeing the most famous roam — each and every Over and Below — in college soccer odd-season win totals.
Season Obtain Totals: Over Action
Ohio Instruct
Ohio Instruct is the consensus 2nd want in odds to win the School Soccer Playoff. BetMGM has the Buckeyes at +325, honest on the heels of +300 accepted Georgia.
So expectations are clearly high in Columbus. Ohio Instruct clearing 10.5 wins in the odd season would surely help meet these expectations.
Oddsmakers surely see it going down. At BetMGM, Over 10.5 is a -175 accepted, that ability it might perchance presumably well rob a $175 wager to earnings $100 ($275 total payout). On the flip facet, Below 10.5 is a +145 underdog. Whereas you think the Buckeyes will win 10 video games or fewer, then a $100 wager would earnings $145 ($245 total payout).
But early bettors are banking on the Over.
“Bettors [with us] can not earn enough of the Buckeyes, and I will not explain I blame them,” Magee acknowledged. “All the things popping out of Columbus sounds like this on the total is a generational Ohio Instruct protection.”
Nonetheless, a now not easy Spacious Ten schedule that now involves Oregon — certain, Oregon is in the Spacious Ten — also can produce that 11th win elusive.
“Quarterback Will Howard steps into the spotlight now. And whereas the protection also can produce his job apparently easy, video games against Oregon, Penn Instruct and Michigan are going to be correct litmus assessments for Howard and this offense,” Magee acknowledged.
Nebraska
Be mindful when Nebraska used to be constantly honest? That consistency has extinct the past few years. The Huskers performed sub-.500 each and every of the final seven seasons. In 2023, below contemporary coach Matt Rhule, Nebraska went 5-7.
But oddsmakers and bettors are a small bit of extra optimistic this season. The Huskers’ season win total is 7.5, with Over a -150 accepted and Below a +125 underdog.
“It’s one more 300 and sixty five days of Nebraska hype. Nonetheless, it appears like Matt Rhule in the break has the Huskers entering into the correct route,” Magee acknowledged. “They invent in a extremely touted QB in Dylan Raiola and excellent see Ohio Instruct out of the head groups in the Spacious 10.”
Raiola is a correct freshman, which surely provides to the Huskers’ hassle. But all yet again, bettors are high on this squad in the mean time.
“At BetMGM, Nebraska has been among each person’s accepted sleeper groups for the Spacious 10 and in all likelihood even a playoff topic. I positively don’t [discount] this crew a hit eight video games. I have faith Matt Rhule, in particular if Raiola is the categorical deal.”
Indiana
You received’t see a lot written this season about Indiana. No longer in a Spacious Ten featuring nationwide championship contender Ohio Instruct, along with defending nationwide champion Michigan, perennially obtain Penn Instruct and now Oregon.
But early roam presentations bettors think the Hoosiers can a minimal of breeze 6-6. BetMGM has Indiana’s odd-season win total at 5.5, with Over at -150 and Below at +125. A recent coach appears to be contributing to the optimism.
“Indiana employed Curt Cignetti faraway from James Madison, then hit the switch portal laborious. They’ve brought in a chain of avid gamers to help the program earn off on the correct foot with the contemporary coach,” Magee acknowledged. “Loads of bettors factor in that the Hoosiers can earn to a bowl in Year 1 below Cignetti.”
The Hoosiers’ non-convention schedule — home video games against Florida International, Western Illinois and Charlotte — also can earn the Hoosiers midway to the Over.
“The non-convention schedule appears like three easy wins,” Magee acknowledged. “But there are some Spacious Ten video games that it appears like they should always fill in present to earn there — Michigan Instruct, Maryland, UCLA.”
Florida
Florida feels a small bit like Nebraska in this day and age. The Gators are coming off a 5-7 marketing campaign and no bowl sport, whereas posting their third consecutive dropping season. Florida hasn’t reached double-digit wins since going 11-2 in 2019.
And this 300 and sixty five days, expectations are very low. BetMGM has the Gators’ odd-season win total at a meager 4.5. However the Over is at contemporary a -155 accepted, and a fine quantity of BetMGM customers see Florida a minimal of getting to five wins.
“Here’s a extremely attention-grabbing one. We’re magnificent lopsided on Over 4.5, for a crew with the toughest schedule in the land,” Magee acknowledged.
Certainly, the Gators fill eight ranked groups on their 12-sport schedule. That involves a brutal five-week stretch to cap the season: vs. No. 1 Georgia (honest web affirm online), at No. 4 Texas, vs. No. 13 LSU, vs. No. 6 Ole Omit and at No. 10 Florida Instruct.
“I sing whenever you earn a season where [QB] Grahm Mertz improves after final 300 and sixty five days — when he used to be better — then the Gators also can surprise some groups,” Magee acknowledged. “There is now not always a denying the talent on this roster. However the final five video games of the 300 and sixty five days are suitable a gauntlet. There’s a right world where they lose five in a row off their bye.”

LSU
Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels moved on to the NFL and the Washington Commanders. As such, BetMGM has the Tigers’ odd-season win total at suitable 9, with Over a extremely slim -115 accepted and Below -105.
Magee sees an infinite sequence of possibilities for coach Brian Kelly’s squad this season.
“I even fill different uncertainty about this LSU crew. I’m able to also see the Tigers going wherever from 11-1 to 7-5,” he acknowledged. “LSU has to change a ton of production on the offensive facet of the ball, and bettors at BetMGM don’t see them a hit 10 video games.
“The initiate of the schedule is light in contrast to what the serve half of entails, with journeys to Kyle Discipline (Texas A&M) and the Swamp (Florida), along with home video games vs. ‘Bama and Oklahoma.”
The Tigers additionally host sixth-ranked Ole Omit this season.
Clemson
Dabo Swinney and Clemson grew to became rather accustomed to double-digit-win seasons, along with CFP appearances. From 2011-2022, the Tigers posted 10 or extra wins (including bowl/playoff video games) each and every 300 and sixty five days.
Final 300 and sixty five days, nonetheless, Clemson went suitable 8-4 in the odd season. So even a bowl win over Kentucky couldn’t withhold the double-digit slide going. This season, BetMGM opened the Tigers’ odd-season win total at 9.5, but it absolutely’s now down to 9, with Over a modest -120 accepted.
“In numerous cases, I believe having a wager splits and money on win totals can nearly abet as a referendum on a program. In the age of NIL and the switch portal, Clemson did now not add a single switch to its roster,” Magee acknowledged.
That made Clemson the categorical FBS crew that didn’t produce the many of the switch portal.
“In turn, bettors flocked to Below 9.5 wins for Clemson. There might perchance be aloof money coming in on Below 9,” Magee acknowledged.
Nonetheless, there are some shimmering spots for the Tigers, and with them per chance a probability to eclipse their win total.
“On the different hand, I’m starting to approach serve spherical on this Clemson crew. The Tigers bring serve surely the total offense and will hopefully earn a continuity enhance on that entrance,” Magee acknowledged. “In equity, the schedule does them no favors: Georgia in Atlanta for Week 1, at Virginia Tech unhurried in the season, at Florida Instruct.
“Happily for the Tigers, when they play Louisville and North Carolina Instruct, these are each and every at home and off bye weeks. I believe the loathe has gotten a small bit of out of hand. This crew is aloof able to a hit 10 video games and making the ACC Championship Game, personally.”
Georgia Tech
The Yellow Jackets play in the major sport of the season, taking on ACC rival and tenth-ranked Florida Instruct on Saturday. It’s a honest-web affirm online sport in Dublin, Ireland, and Georgia Tech is a 10.5-point underdog.
So oddsmakers and bettors magnificent a lot already fill the Yellow Jackets at 0-1. BetMGM opened Georgia Tech’s season win total at 5.5, and it’s down to 5, with Below a -115 accepted.
“Georgia Tech has doubtlessly the 2nd- or third-hardest schedule in the nation and is seeing heaps of nonbelievers in them getting to a bowl sport,” Magee acknowledged. “Below 5.5 is one in all the most-wager Unders we now fill had this offseason.”
The Yellow Jackets face five ranked groups. Alongside with the opener vs. Florida Instruct, Georgia Tech meets No. 7 Notre Dame (honest web affirm online), hosts No. 19 Miami and No. 24 N.C. Instruct, and finishes the season at No. 1 Georgia.
“It be easy to see on the schedule and explain this crew might perchance presumably per chance now not be taking part in in a bowl,” Magee acknowledged. “But I like [coach] Brent Key. He’s truly constructing something with this crew. Nonetheless, the Yellow Jackets will must seize about a motorway video games in the occasion that they wish any shot of making a bowl.”
