*College football odds as of Wednesday night
Hello, Thursday night football doubleheader!
No, I’m not talking about two NFL Thursday Night Football matchups, but there is one game on tonight’s college football odds board — Syracuse vs. South Florida in the 2023 Boca Raton Bowl — to complement the New Orleans Saints vs. Los Angeles Rams game.
Saints vs. Rams will undoubtedly draw the bigger handle, though Syracuse vs. South Florida could also catch the eyes of bettors as people start to take time off work for the holiday weekend.
According to the latest college football odds, the Orange are short 3-point favorites, suggesting this could be a very competitive matchup.
But when it comes to the smartest college football prediction, the Action Network’s betting model is finding an enticing edge with the Syracuse vs. South Florida over/under.
College Football Pick: Syracuse vs. South Florida
Thursday’s Boca Raton Bowl over/under has settled at 55.5.
However, our College Football PRO Projections suggest that number is a bit too low.
We project this total at 58.9, resulting in a 4.4% edge when compared to the widely available 55.5.
Eighty-six percent of the money wagered on the Syracuse vs. South Florida total has come in on the under to this point, though our projections indicate that the smartest way to approach this line is to play the over instead.
