Florida at
Georgia
Total 56.5
The script. The market has Georgia by 10.5 at a total of 56.5: Georgia 33.5, Florida 23 on paper. Georgia ahead means Frazier carries it late; Florida chasing means Philo throws, and Wilson and Brown get the volume.
How it plays. The total of 56.5 is ordinary for college. A neutral field. Conference play.
What changed. No injury report or depth chart for college yet; the names above are the last ones we saw carrying it.
Georgia is favored by 10.5 on a neutral field against Florida, and the total is 56.5. Our number has Georgia by 14.6, so the lean is Georgia -10.5. A lean, not a play.
Our number vs the market
College is leans only. The model has no proven edge against the spread here, so this is where we disagree with the market, not a bet we are telling you to make.
The card
Two registered rules, graded in public after each game: a player under when his line sits 50% or more above his last-10 average, and a total when our Sunday number sits 3 or more points off the opener. The kinds grade beside each pick counts the different kinds of evidence that agree: a rule, his history, the matchup, the script, the weather.
Bets is the share of tickets; money is the share of dollars. When the money runs well ahead of the bets, fewer people are betting bigger on that side, the move bettors call sharp money.
Spread
Georgia: 65% of the bets, 90% of the money. Fewer people, betting bigger.
Since 2018: when the money ran 20 or more points ahead of the bets on a side, the money side covered 50.4% (532-524-14, 1,070 games). No better than a coin flip.
Total
56% of the bets are on the under, but 62% of the money is on the over.
Since 2018: when most of the bets sat on one side and most of the money on the other, the money side hit 50.4% (687-675-13, 1,375 games). No better than a coin flip.
Moneyline
90% of the bets are on Georgia, but 79% of the money is on Florida.
