| Market | Side | Bet % | Money % | Odds |

| Alabama | 88% | 98% | -675 |
Texas A&M at Alabama is one of the slate's lopsided public plays. 88.0% of the bet count on the moneyline market is sitting on Alabama — which on a college board usually means a mismatch rather than a market disagreement — lopsided ticket counts are ordinary here, so the number itself says less than where the dollars land against it.
The money side isn't arguing: 98.0% of dollars on Alabama against 88.0% of tickets, so the bigger bets are leaning the same way as the crowd, if only slightly. That leaves no contrarian signal to read here — just a heavily backed side whose price already reflects it. Books price these games knowing the public is coming — the line builds in the lean — which is why heavy public favorites historically underperform their implied win rate against the spread.

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.
We don't issue picks. This page shows where the tickets and the dollars are landing so you can weigh that against your own read of the matchup.
It means there's no contrarian signal here. The side holding most of the tickets also holds an even larger share of the dollars, so big and small bettors want the same thing and the price already reflects it. That's a reason to expect no edge, not a reason to follow it.
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.

College boards run far more lopsided than the pros — a 90% ticket count is ordinary here, not remarkable, because so many games pair a ranked team with an overmatched opponent. What matters is whether the dollars agree with the tickets. When they don't, the ticket count is the less informative number. See our methodology →
