NCAAF: Georgia State vs Louisiana-Monroe under 49.5
When it comes to game totals, the public is all over the under in this Sun Belt Conference contest between Georgia State and Louisiana-Monroe. Okay, it’s not exactly a matchup that moves the needle. But when you spice it up with a betting angle (as the public is clearly doing), it can offer some intrigue. With 76% of the wagers supporting Under 49.5, 90% of the money is doing the same. Georgia State, which almost beat Auburn last month, is also garnering its fair share of support. The Panthers against the -16 spread are inspiring 69% of the handle and 63% of the bets.
MLB: Los Angeles Dodgers ML over San Francisco Giants
The Dodgers lost Game 1 of this NLDS, but they are still favorites in the National League. Unsurprisingly, punters do not see them falling into a 2-0 hole against the NL West rival Giants. LA on the -115 Game 2 money line is drawing 60% of the handle and 66% of the bets.

NFL: Tennessee Titans -4.5 over Jacksonville Jaguars
It’s not too early to start looking ahead to Sunday’s NFL slate. Heck, it’s almost too late! We are less than 24 hours away from the proceedings, which will kick off at 9:30am ET with the Falcons vs the Jets in London. Speaking of bad teams, the Jaguars are still in search of their first win in 2021. It’s no surprise that they are being faded hard.

Bettors are throwing 92% of the money and 85% of the wagers behind Tennessee to cover the -4.5 spread. The Titans are -200 favorites on the money line and that juice isn’t scaring anyone away.
