What the data says

Notre Dame at BYU is one of the strongest sharp-money signals on this week's NCAAF slate. On the moneyline market, 95.0% of bets are on Notre Dame but only 34.0% of the dollars — a 61.0-point gap between bet count and money share that ranks among the largest divergences in the slate.

That gap is the cleanest sharp-money tell we have. When the bet count and dollar share point in different directions, the dollars are coming from fewer, larger checks — the kind of bets that distinguish high-volume, professional action from the public crowd. Books rarely give back this much line value on a casual mistake; the price you're seeing is what the market thinks of the divergence in real time.

None of this is a pick. It's where the money is landing — you decide what to do with it. See how we calculate splits →.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I bet Notre Dame vs. BYU?

Any licensed sportsbook in your state offers college football markets. We don't recommend specific books — please read our responsible gambling resources before wagering.

How big does a bet/money gap have to be to matter?

On college spreads the median gap is about 11 points and roughly a quarter of games clear 24, so the bar sits higher here than in a professional league. On totals the same number means considerably more — a 20-point totals gap is about three times rarer than the same gap on a spread.

Where does this data come from and how often does it update?

We aggregate publicly reported sportsbook handle on a sub-hourly cadence and store every snapshot, so a game's splits can be read as a series rather than a single reading. This page shows the most recent snapshot before kickoff.

What does it mean that Notre Dame has 95.0% of bets but 34.0% of the money?

The ticket count and the dollar count are measuring different bettors. A 61.0-point gap means the average wager on Notre Dame is smaller than the average wager on the other side — a lot of small bets one way, fewer and larger ones the other.

Is a 95.0% split unusual in college football?

Less than you'd think. College boards run far more lopsided than professional ones because so many games pair a ranked team with an overmatched opponent. On the games we track, the median spread draws about 82% of tickets to one side, so a heavy count on its own is ordinary. The gap between bets and dollars is the part that carries information.

What is sharp money?

Sharp money is wagering from sophisticated, high-volume bettors. It shows up as a money percentage that trails the bet percentage on the popular side — many small tickets one way, fewer and larger ones the other. On a college spread the typical gap is about 11 points, so a gap well past that is the part worth noticing. See our methodology →
