The College Football Playoff semifinals don’t start until Thursday, but that doesn’t mean bettors have to wait three more days to dig into college football odds.
The FCS national championship takes place on Monday (7 p.m. ET) with Montana State listed as a 3.5-point spread favorite against North Dakota State and an over/under of 58.5.
FCS matchups don’t typically attract oodles of public betting action, but considering this is one the final college football games of the season, and a championship game at that, don’t be surprised to see casual bettors getting down on North Dakota State vs. Montana State in the hours leading up to kickoff.
Our Action PRO premium picks and betting tools haven’t picked up value on tonight’s spread, but the over/under is a completely different story.
Sharpest College Football Pick for North Dakota State vs. Montana State
*Odds as of Monday morning
As mentioned above, Monday’s over/under has settled at a consensus of 58.5 as of the time of writing.
However, this line opened at 55.5 before professional bettors pounced on the over.
Specifically, sharps steamed the over multiple times throughout the week, motivating oddsmakers to increase this line three points.
Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market and is often the result of bettors with the resources and respect to move odds getting down on the same wager at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.
While the total is essentially 58.5 at every sportsbook, the vig does vary from shop to shop, so be sure to peruse the latest college football odds to pinpoint the best possible price for Monday’s FCS national championship game.
PRO Pick: Over 58.5 (-110, BetMGM)
