re: What was the most illogical betting line in a College Football game that you recall?

Lsu was -6 on the opener for the Texas bowl vs Texas tech. With Leonard fournette vs the worst run d in the entire country
That’s my favourite bet really. A team that ground and pounds and doesn’t have to go outside the playbook when they are up. Vs a team that can’t stop the run

That run defense was arguably the worst run defense in the history of college football.
They allowed 300+ rushing yards in 7 games!

LSU Arkansas last year, O/U 60.5. I fat fingered an over bet, should have hurriedly doubled up on an under bet to recoup my losses

The 2019 LSU team total vs Oklahoma. I don’t remember exactly what it was but I think like 32.5 but less than 35 and it made no sense to me. I thought LSU would score 40+ easily vs that defense. I ended up putting $200 on it and wish I had done more

Eh. Was illogical to me. Only reason bama was getting 13, felt like because of the name. Every road game that year was tight.
Also, i like the OPs answer. That one always stuck out to me. Gpt ohio st +7 i belive and the moneyline

Ill also add basically every lsu game in 2019 towards the end.
Seccg lsu was like -6 to georgia, easy money, -13 against oklahoma, easy, and -5 against clemson, easy

Not college football but O/U in LSU/UF game 2 and 3 was something like 9.5 with the wind howling out both days. Easy, easy money. Both games went over by like the 3rd inning.

Maybe not the most illogical, but the 2 bets I've ever felt most comfortable placing were Patriots v Rams Super Bowl and LSU vs. OU in the 2019 playoffs.
That LSU/OU line could've been -56 and I probably would've bet it. OU had lost that game as soon as LSU stepped off the bus.

LF7 averaged over 8.5 yards per touch that game too with 5 TDs

Leicester City to win the EPL has to be up there on someone's list here though.
Not really as it was considered almost impossible for a club of their stature to win it all.

LSU openers are usually money outside of Wisconsin at Lambeau and FSU at the dome last year 
My favorite bet was taking a Justin Jefferson prop to score 3+ TDs as a drunk flyer bet before the OU game in Atlanta. Holy shite that was fun being there to see it live in person. It hit in the second quarter

Side bar, but a co-worker of mine was a TT grad and all he talked about all year was how Mahomes was a superstar and this and that. Just figured it was normal homer talk. But after watching that game live, 2 things stood out: 1) LF7 was a bad MF, and 2) Mahomes actually was pretty damn good.
Think back to Kingsbury, BJ Symons, Graham Harrell, it seemed like anyone could walk into that offense and sling it around but Mahomes definitely was different.

I’m sure the buckeyes were favored big over Florida in 2007, even though everyone knew the SEC was the best conference and the big 10 was down.
This is certainly revisionist history. When OSU played Florida they were coming off of beating #2 Michigan in the "Game of the Century", the B1G still thought the sun revolved around them and the SEC hadn't started it's string of domination that came over the next 15 years.

Ohio State dropped 59 on Wisconsin and 42 on #1 Alabama, and you think it was logical that Oregon was going to be able to slow Zeke and outscore OSU ? Ohio State beat Oregon 42-20 and Zeke ran for 217. I thought that even Ray Charles could see that coming.
How much money did you make off that game, Walter Abrams?

Stanford being 41-point dogs against USC.
It was a P5, Pac10 school, not the Citadel or Louisiana-Monroe.
And Carroll rarely ran up scores against Conference foes like Tom Osborne. If bettors actually watched USC play, they'd know the starting QB was often taken out at halftime if the lead got to 30 points.
Stanford opened the season losing to #14 UCLA, 41-17..and then lost to #13 Oregon 55-31. Both 24 point spreads.
Whoever took that Vegas bet was an idiot. You don't lay that many points on a Conference foe...
That was a directional school point spread, inflated by Vegas because too much money was blindly being put on USC by casual fans on holiday...so Vegas was pushing the point spreads to extremes when USC played to get action opposite.
USC was the most bet on CFB team in Vegas for about 10 years according to Vegas Insider and traditionally is one of the most routinely bet on even if they're average because household name to average casual bettor on holiday in Vegas.

That was the most suspicious result I’ve ever seen. If Ohio State won 24-17 or something they wouldn’t have made the playoffs.
We will never know but potentially not true.
Same week as OSU beat Wisconsin, OU lost to Okie State. That added a top 25 win to OSU's resume, and both TCU and Baylor lost one of their only top 25 wins with that loss by OU. OSU had more top 25 wins than Baylor or TCU, with a worse loss.
But OU losing certainly didn't help their arguments

App state +18.5 vs A&M was the easiest money I’ve ever made
