Big 12 (31-18-1 ATS)
If six teams in the Top 25 aren’t enough, the Big 12 is the biggest cash cow through six weeks of the college football schedule. Unfortunately for bettors, conference play kicked off last week and those profits are about to be cut in half.
The league’s stellar ATS tally is in part to the state of Oklahoma which boast the 4-0 (5-0 SU) Sooners and OSU Cowboys. Add on top of that the 3-1 Missouri Tigers and 5-0 Texas Longhorns (who face Oklahoma this weekend) and the Big 12 looks more like the Big $12,000.
Mid American Conference (37-27-0 ATS)
A MAC program hasn’t graced the Top 25 since 2004, but after going a perfect 5-0 ATS (6-0 SU) the Ball State Cardinals are among the country’s elite. While the rest of the conference isn’t turning heads with their straight up records, the 4-0 ATS mark of Northern Illinois and the 5-1 ATS tally of Temple are turning profits at the pay window.
Oddsmakers are underestimating MAC schools like Akron (4-2 ATS) and Buffalo (4-1 ATS) and teams like Bowling Green and Ohio are holding their own at 3-2 against the number.
Atlantic Coast Conference (27-22-0 ATS)
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets picked up their latest payday in a 27-0 routing of ACC hopeful Duke this past Saturday. The Jackets covered the 13-point number to improve to 4-0 against the spread this season.
The loss was the Blue Devils first ATS defeat after covering in the three games leading into the weekend. They’re joined by rival North Carolina at 3-1 ATS, who, along with 3-2 North Carolina State and Maryland, are making this a green season for the ACC.
The conference’s usual suspects, Virginia, VT, Miami, FSU and Clemson, are a combined 7-12-0 ATS.
Sun Belt (19-17-0 ATS)
Arkansas State is the only Sun Belt program with a record above .500 at 3-2 SU. But anyone betting the belt will tell you Florida International and UL Lafayette are the real top dogs. The Golden Panthers and Ragin’ Cajuns are earning their adjectives with records of 4-1 ATS.
The Florida Atlantic Owls are towing the load at 3-2 ATS and Troy has a 2-1 ATS mark with a cover coming against Ohio State as a 21-point underdog. On the other end of the pay scale, North Texas has been mean to the green with a 1-4 slap in the face.
Independents (9-8-1 ATS)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The independents aren’t a conference (hence being tagged independents), but if you group college football’s loners together they combine for nine ATS wins this season.
Notre Dame is 3-2 ATS and hasn’t got any help from the legions of unholy Irish backers who drive the price up on the gold and blue. Navy also carries a 3-2 mark against the number. The Midshipmen have collected all of their pay cheques as underdogs in their last three contests (which they’ve won).
