CFB Week 1 Notable Bets: Public flocking to Colorado - ESPN

College football has arrived, so let's check in on who the betting public likes entering the season.

Colorado, a 500-1 longshot that's projected to win just a handful of games, is the biggest liability facing multiple sportsbooks in their odds to win the national championships. Coach Deion Sanders' Buffaloes have attracted more national championship bets at BetMGM sportsbooks than four teams ranked in the Top 10 and Texas, the favorite in the Big 12. At PointsBet, more money has been bet on the Buffaloes to win the national championship than Ohio State and more money has been staked on the over for Colorado's win total of 3.5 than any other team.

• $4,500 to win $450,000 on Colorado to win the Pac-12 (+10000)

• On May 17, a bettor in New York with Caesars Sportsbook placed a $1,000 bet on Florida Atlantic to win the national championship at 1,000-1 odds. The bet would pay a net $1 million.

• On June 16, in Mississippi placed a $75,000 money-line bet on Alabama to beat Middle Tennessee in its season-opener with Caesars Sportsbook. The bettor would win a net $300 if the Crimson Tide survive Middle Tennessee.

We'll have to wait and see how those strategies play out. In the meantime, here's an odds-and-ends look at the college football betting market, including coaches' records against the spreads, over-under stats, bookmakers' insights, as the season kicks into high gear this week.
