College Football Lines – 2012 Week 1: It’s All About Michigan vs. Alabama

College Football lines for 2012 Week 1 were all available at WagerWeb.com here, which was offering up to $2000 in FREE CASH to qualified new signups. 

Without a shadow of doubt, Saturday’s top bet game was Michigan vs. Alabama, which featured a line of Crimson Tide -13.5.  While the betting action on the spread had the Crimson Tide getting around 55 percent, the online bookmakers will desperately want Michigan to cover here as the amount of money being wagered on this entire game makes that 55 percent equivalent more to 75 percent on your typical College Football game. 

The bookies have already started the 2012 Week 1 College Football season out with a bang after Boise State managed to cover the spread Friday night. 

The early Noon Eastern Standard Time game between Ohio and Penn State was generating heavy lopsided betting action in favor of the Nittany Lions at -6.5 while Notre Dame was seeing strong action at -14.5.

Gambling911.com was also seeing solid wagering on Navy at +14.5 and Ohio State at -25.5.

The Auburn vs. Clemson game was getting the second most volume on Saturday with fairly balanced action on both sides.  Clemson is a -3 point road favorite here. 

Miami Florida was seeing some heavy action vs. Boston College with 70 percent backing the Hurricanes on the spread.  Bookmakers will make out well with a Boston College cover of +2.5.

Elsewhere, Oregon was a -37 point favorite vs. Arkansas State with close to 80 percent of the wagering action going towards the Ducks in this game.  Bookies will be rooting for Arkansas State to cover here.
