2012 College Football Over-Under Win Totals Predictions

by Scipio Tex on Aug 7, 2025 11:01 PM CDT in Texas Longhorns and Other Football

These college football win total bets are courtesy of Bovada. Bovada! - nurturing addiction and fomenting divorce since 1978! A proud member of the Mohawk Nation!

Follow my lead. You will pay off your mortgage and send your children to play field hockey at Bryn Mawr. At minimum, you will be able to purchase a Wave Runner and a time share in Pensacola. /Sooner readers perk up.

These are 2012 REGULAR SEASON win totals. Championship games and bowl games don't count. Weighted payouts. A +105 means if you bet $100 you can win $105. A -135 means a $100 bet wins you $74.07. Capisce? So don't just look at the win total, balance risk vs payout.

2012 Regular Season Win Total - Alabama Crimson Tide

Over 10½ (+105)

Under 10½ (-135)

via cdn0.sbnation.com

TIDE GONNA WIN TWELVE, PAAWWWWWWWLL. No, they're not. The team from 2011 no longer exists. When Saban turns over his defensive back 7, there's a year of adjustment. They give up plays in the passing game, they bust coverages, and indestructible Alabama loses a couple. They're luring you with the upside payout on the over, but don't fall for it. Bet under or not at all.

2012 Regular Season Win Total - Texas Longhorns

Over 9 (EVEN)

Under 9 (-130)

This number used to be 8.5. I was all over that number. 9 is interesting. 9 makes a man pause and think. Makes that man put a blade of grass in his mouth. Makes that man say,"Fiddlesticks." Makes a man write spare, yet folksy, third person prose. The books piss on the under bet though and if Texas hits 9 wins, you push. Be bold. Bet that over. Gently.

2012 Regular Season Win Total - Oklahoma Sooners

Under 10 (EVEN)

Over 10 (-130)

I see no angle yet. If Sooner OL losses mount beyond their current perilous status, get that Under bet in quickly.

2012 Regular Season Win Total - Boise State Broncos

Over 9½ (-140)

Under 9½ (+110)

I explained in another feature on Teams That Will Decline in 2012 that Boise can be substantially weaker, but still win 10 games. But look at the shabby payout on the over. They can potentially drop games @ Michigan St, BYU, @ Southern Miss, @ Hawaii, or @ Nevada. The Boise State team we knew no longer exists. This is a trap. Stay away. I understand your counterarguments. I acknowledge them. You're looking at that fishing line hooked to a claymore, but I know where the puji sticks are buried.

The man in the black pajamas, a worthy fucking adversary.

2012 Regular Season Win Total - Kansas State Wildcats

Under 7½ (-155)

Over 7½ (+125)

That sound is Nickel Rover backing up the Brinks truck. They won't match 2011's 10 wins, but essentially you're handicapping whether they can go 5-4 in conference. Only Saruman Snyder could devise a situation in which a Texas fan who wants to be the over is almost guaranteed that a 7-4 KSU teams faces Texas in the last game of the season.

2012 Regular Season Win Total - Texas A&M Aggies

Over 7 (-110)

Under 7 (-120)

They're shaving the payout in either direction and sticking it to Aggie optimists and SEC jock-riders alike.

2012 Regular Season Win Total - Oklahoma State Cowboys

Under 8½ (-150)

Over 8½ (+120)

Rather brilliant handicapping. Exploit the masses who remember a 12-1 team that's ranked in every 2012 preseason poll (as high as #12 in a couple, WTF) by setting an enticing 8.5 Wins number with a $100 winning $120 payout ("OMG, I'm stealing money"), but then stick it to the Cowboy skeptics who want to exploit the bubble with -150 on the Under. You're good Bovada. Too good. Realistic OSU upside is 8-4, nonetheless.

2012 Regular Season Win Total - Penn State Nittany Lions

Over 5½ (+120)

Under 5½ (-150)

via cdn0.sbnation.com

This is a bank safe hanging over a $5 bill. Don't pick it up. PSU is doomed, but they can win six games. I'm serious. The bottom of the Big 10 is that bad. Either don't bet it or bet the over. You're not listening to me, are you? Have it your way.

2012 Regular Season Win Total - TCU Horned Frogs

Over 8½ (+130)

Under 8½ (-160)

O rly? So TCU goes at least 6-3 in conference to win this bet? In-ta-rest-in'. Very in-ta-rest-in'. What do we think about this, degenerates? They sure do piss on that under payout.

2012 Regular Season Win Total - Washington State Cougars

Under 5½ (-150)

Over 5½ (+120)

via cdn3.sbnation.com

Pulling for Mike Leach is fun, but 6 Ws is wholly irrational given Wazzou's horrific talent level. If there's a just college football god, he will propel this team to 7-5 on flimflammery and fumblerooskis. Make it so, Crom.

2012 Regular Season Win Total - Arkansas Razorbacks

Over 8½ (-145)

Under 8½ (+115)

via cdn1.sbnation.com

You get a nice little payout on the Razorbacks tanking. However, if they play near their pre-Petrino potential, you're hosed. There is no play on the upside, I'll say that much.

Finally, I was irritated not to see the Utah Utes listed. They'll be taken lightly early. As long as their QB is healthy, they're my surprise Top 25 team.

I'm willing to endure your collective mockery to learn.

Having never had money to burn, I’m completely ignorant of how sports betting works.

If the payout has a negative number ("A -135 means a $100 bet wins you $74.07"), do you actually lose money for being right? Or is it that you get your $100 back, plus $74.07? One way seems like no one would ever bet on it, the other way seems like Vegas would go broke in a week.

Please help the poor uneducated educator.

No mockery forthcoming at all.

You bet $100 on a -135 bet. You “get back” your original $100 and an additional $74.07. You now have $174.07. See? Betting is easy. YOU CANNOT LOSE. How much is in your 403B?

Vegas always wins... mosty

If Vegas were not for profit they each line would balance. One bet Even then the other is Even. If one bet were -110 the other would be +110.

But Vegas is not non-profit so they take a little on each side. Hence Texas Over is Even while the Under is -135

by HornsUpInLA on Aug 7, 2025 11:49 PM CDT up reply actions

Vegas always gets its piece, and they usually give themselves a bit more cushion on early bets

plus the value gets hammered out of most lines fairly quickly, but if you move fast you can get much more favorable numbers. On 5Dimes Texas opened at Over 8.5 Wins -115. It went to -130 pretty quickly, and now it’s at -185 or thereabouts for the 8.5 number (although they also have lines for 9 and 9.5 wins for Texas out now as well).

If you do your homework early and are ready to move, opening CFB lines can be pretty tasty - and they don’t feature a 4-game star player injury gauntlet like the NFL preseason.

So Vegas is staying solvent by hedging - pay out is lower on the outcome they think is either more likely or will be more popular.

The +105 and -135 betting lingo were always a bafflement to me, too. Now I’m ready to sell both the Gremlin and Aztec and get into the money with the rest of the genuiseses.

by RomaVicta on Aug 8, 2025 8:56 AM CDT up reply actions

An easy way to go about it is using round numbers

If the line is +105 then a $100 bet WINS $105. If it is -135 then you would need to bet $135 to WIN $100.

think of it this way

texas:
Over 9 (EVEN) - put 100 down and you get 200.. 100/200= 50%

Under 9 (-130)— assume the contra side puts down 100 to make 230.. 100/230=43.5%.. so you get 1-.43.5= 56.5%

so there is a 106.5% chance that Texas wins more or less than 9. That doesnt include Texas winning 9 and you just pay the vig.. So in the end the odds are you get screwed..

by codaxx on Aug 8, 2025 11:49 AM CDT up reply actions

The over/under lines are truly brilliant on A&M;

As for Texas you are a very lucky/smart man to find 8.5 and jump all over it.

can I reverse tease texas?

What are my odds if I want to bet over 9.5? Over 10? Texas over 8.5 was ~~200 I heard, so it makes sense they bumped to 9. Its still an over bet all the way. And I’ve only made 2 bets in the last 10 years~~ OSU 2 years ago and ksu last year- both big and both against texas b/c that was stealing money. Which is what the over on 8.5 is imo.

by Wulaw Horn on Aug 8, 2025 12:07 AM CDT via mobile reply actions

Actually

5Dimes has lines on Texas at 8.5, 9 and 9.5 wins/ Not sure if any other books do this, but 5Dimes does it for Texas and a number of other ‘name’ programs.

by nobis60 on Aug 8, 2025 12:18 AM CDT up reply actions

What's my payout on Over 9.5?

I’m guessing +200 or so? Like I said, I saw 8.5 as -200 and that made me think the line almost HAD to go to 9.

by Wulaw Horn on Aug 8, 2025 10:59 AM CDT up reply actions

Over 9.5 is just +165, which is by no means overly generous

Their numbers as of this morning are:

8.5 -185 O/+145 U (that +145 must look pretty tasty to ransomstoddard)

9 +100 O/-120 U

9.5 +165 O/ -215 U

As an aside, 5Dimes has a tooooooon of bets on the football board. Due to my employer’s largely justifiable but undeniably regrettable decision to ban access to sports investing sites, I had to scroll through their whole damn screen on my iPhone, which was somewhere between a bitch and a half and two entire bitches to do.

Basically Vegas really thinks we will win 9 games

I wonder if the troubles on the injury/academic front at OU/OSU and TCU are causing our moves upwards as well.

by dick. on Aug 8, 2025 11:52 AM CDT up reply actions

TCU only antecedent event

OU, OSU just happened. Honestly, I think people started doing fundamental analysis and realized Texas was undervalued while the popular conceptions of TCU and OSU are very off base.

TCU just lost starting RT to grades

But I agree with what you are saying. Also the public hits Texas hard without doing much fundamental analysis.

Reverse Tease

used to be called “please” until Vegas took all the fun out of it and simply called them Alternative Lines/Odds.

I haven’t looked but going from 8.5 to 9.5 would be at least a jump from -185 to +200 I would think. A full game is a huge difference.

by dick. on Aug 8, 2025 11:02 AM CDT up reply actions

Much wisdom in this post

A lot is stated, some is implied.

The implied piece is “If you’re of a gambling bent, keep accounts with a couple of offshore books and be ready to pounce as soon as lines are issued.”

If you follow this maxim, you will be able to collect such treasures as Texas Over 8.5 (-120) and Texas A&M Under 7.5 (-135). Do this in 2013, and you will be buying drinks for the BC tailgate in 2014, as I will be doing in 2013.

Preemptive apologies for an over-long post.

In my youth, I had a pastor with an interesting take on gambling. This was obviously in Texas, where the safe bet is that a man of the cloth would be strictly opposed to all forms of tempting fate. But this particular clergyman’s view was more nuanced. I’m still trying to puzzle my way through it, especially when I encounter posts like Scipio’s here.

The pastor’s thinking went like this: God doesn’t want you to gamble on games of chance, as this is essentially placing faith in something other than the Lord. (It is possible he actually said "demon spirits," but that might be my memory embellishing things.) However, God wants you to be a confident individual who boldly takes on life, so it was kosher to bet on yourself. It would not add to your years in purgatory to bet ten bucks that you’d beat your buddy at bowling, for instance. God wants you to believe in yourself, and in His stewardship of your wellbeing. Betting on your bowling game was theologically as sound as starting your own business – if you work hard, and have skill, you will be rewarded. (In Pastor’s view, God is a capitalist, obviously.)

What I lacked the foresight to ask, and would be interested in your collective take on, is how we would extrapolate this out to sports betting? Is it only acceptable to wager on things you have direct control over? So I wouldn’t be able to bet on the Longhorns, as I’m not a player (plus, you know, that false prophet the NCAA would cast me down as well).

Or, would it be ok for me to bet on the Longhorns, as it was my skill in identifying them as a potential money-maker that led me to make the wager? Or is it theologically sound to assume that my skill in getting admitted to an inherently superior institution of higher learning sanctions my betting on that school’s football team? (And would I have to take into account the fact that I went to UT during the Mackovic era?)

And finally, if God is a benevolent force for good, how do we reconcile the opposing concepts that God wants the Longhorns to win, and yet there ~~is still evil~~ are still Sooners in the world?

by Flipteach on Aug 8, 2025 12:32 AM CDT reply actions

Pre-emptive apologies for an over-long response that also features 1.5 bottles of wine

On your first point, I had a number of pastors of what I would estimate to be a similar bent as I was growing up. The topic of gamling per se didn’t come up, but they had a tendency to take a nuanced - rather than strictly dogmatic - viewpoint on a number of issues.

If I was to interpret your pastor’s views….well, OK, brief aside.

Quick plug here for you (and any other readers of any theologic bent) to immerse yourself in the guiding text(s) of your particular religion, mix in some reflection/meditation/long walks on the beach, come to your own conclusions on any relevant/vexing issues, and ascribe some substantial weight to those conclusions vis a vis any dictats handed down from those men (and, in some sects) women putatively responsible for the guidance of your immortal soul. There’s a strong argument to be made that the “in My image” passage in Genesis referred less to God’s biped-ality and more to the presence of free will in Man - so as long as you’ve got free will, might as well use it and draw your own conclusions.

OK, back to the music.

If I was to interpret your pastor’s words as (Big G) Gospel, I’d say he’d be coming down against sports betting. While one’s own skill in assessing team strengths and other salient factors are important, there are so many elements out of the bettor’s control in a typical athletic contest that I’d say they overbalance the ‘you’ part of the ‘are you betting on yourself or chance’ equation.

I can also attest to a number of instances where the Lord appeared to be taking an active hand in events to punish me for my sinful betting transgressions. The 1/08/2025 instance of an unpolished receiver catching a 70-yard game-winning strike over a Top-5 cover corner from the hand of the least skilled player to amass 50+ passing attempts in a season in the last 40 years being the most improbable and financially impactful thereof.

With all that said, my advice would be to bet away - at least in amounts that don’t have the potential to cause substantial harm to you or those for whom you are financially responsible. Whether my strict theological interpretation of gambling is correct or not, I take such things as AIDS, childhood leukemia, the Aurora shootings, Barry Switzer and the 2012 Miami Heat as evidence that the Lord is rolling with a more hands-off - as opposed to micro-managing - style with respect to day-to-day events. If you’re not intefering with another being’s right to exist in reasonable happiness, do what you want and sort it out at the Cloudy N’ Pearly if need be.

Hmmm, interesting. So in Vegas, the knowledge that there is wide spread irrationality among both fans of both the SEC and Aggies is allowing them to simultaneously bake a huge effing cake, display it for their appreciation, and enjoy its moist, tender, sweet, tasty, chocolatey goodness?

I'm not betting it, but . . .

If you figure SC State, Sam Houston State, Louisiana Tech and SMU are wins . . .and you figure Auburn, Alabama, LSU, and Florida are losses, A&M has to win three of these four to hit 7 wins: Arkansas and Missouri at home, Ole Miss and Mississippi State on the road.

Florida will be interesting. They had a good (not great) defense last year, and return nearly everybody. Their defense should be very good, maybe great. They had a crappy offense last year and have a new OC and direction (BSU’s Pease). They open with Bowling Green. If they dominate BG, it will indicate this game will be much tougher for the Ags than they are expecting, one of the tougher games of the season. Especially if the Ags are having startup issues with the new QB.

Yeah. We really know nothing of its talent level. Is it 2010 Texas (i.e. untalented)? Is it 2011 Texas (all the talent is inexperienced). Or is it a bunch of guys with decent talent that just need a decent system (assuming that Pease brings one)? I’d say if they pop 40 against Bowling Green, they might be OK on offense.

Florida's defense.....

….finished the year at #8, while our defense finished #11. They did that while playing both teams participating in the Nat’l Championship game.

This year, Florida will play 10 returning starters from that #8 defense.

Florida is at Kyle and not the franchise Gator fans have enjoyed the past 20 years . . . However, Auburn has had three straight outstanding recruiting classes and has a stout defensive line and secondary . . .and it’s at Jordan-Hare. I might be persuaded to bump Florida into the toss-up pool, but I’ll be surprised if A&M takes down the Tigers.

I’ve never bet on sports before. My complete inexperience makes me worry about hidden hazards.

I assume there are laws preventing them from taking your money and just disappearing with it?

All the ones nobis mentioned are good if you want to bet with the public (read: favorites or Longhorns), Sports Interaction is a good one if you want to fade the public and bet the other side. The lines can be dramatically different so I find it worth having both and shopping for the best line.

Bookmaker was more difficult to deposit money if I recall (had to wire money to a foreign country?) whereas Sportsinteraction was done via ECheck and much simpler.
