Similar to our Money Line and 1st Half Odds , every matchup is listed in order of Rotation and those numbers are preceded by the Date and Time of the College Football game. The rotation for college football games typically lists them by scheduled starting time, which can lead to some confusion since the number will remain the same even if the games wind up changing due to television networks often shifting around action to present more attractive matchups.
Home teams are listed at the bottom and will therefore be your even-numbered squad. The numbers next to the teams are called Spreads or Point-Spreads. Favorites are the teams laying points, which is represented by a minus - sign. Winner takes it.
The amount of points a team is favored by is set by oddsmakers on Sunday afternoons and that figure fluctuates throughout the week based on the amount of money coming in on bets. That number also increases or decreases based on bets coming in on the Over or Under.
The skill in this often requires you to forecast how a game will be wagered since we often see opening lines bet up over the course of the week due to the majority of the money coming in on the favorite.
Of course, getting in too early can often backfire if a better number appears over the course of the week or if injuries that are typically not announced until coaches give status reports on Monday press conferences dramatically alter expectations.

The Spread is based on a rough projection of a score for every matchup, although oddsmakers have a good idea of what side the betting public will want to bet and usually saddles that team with an additional point or three. The same goes for the Total, which projects the combined number of points expected in a contest.
These numbers are based on simulations that take a number of statistical factors into account in addition to baking in injuries, a homefield advantage that is typically worth three points and any other potential edges. Teams coming off bye weeks are usually given an edge thanks to increased preparation time and fresher bodies. The idea behind a point spread is to bring the two teams in a match up to a more even playing field. If a team is better than the other, the points given by the favorite brings the underdog to a more even field.
That is not the case on the moneyline. Simply put, you will have to risk a whole lot more money on a favorite to profit. On the flip side though, if you bet on the underdog, the potential profit is a lot bigger on the moneyline than betting on the point spread. That is because the likelihood of the underdog winning is slim on the moneyline. This is an example of a moneyline you could see in Major League Baseball.

The big thing that sticks out here is how big of a favorite some teams are. There plenty of moneylines that might show a team being a heavy favorite and if players bet against them, that is a very huge profitable opportunity.
