College Football Betting: Favorites and Home Teams are Burning Bettors in 2017

Washington State may have erased a 21-point fourth-quarter deficit at home against Boise State in Week 3, but the Cougars still failed to cover the 7.5-point spread. 

Several other favored home teams also failed to cover the spread, including Michigan, New Mexico, Ohio State and Oregon State.

Through two-plus weeks of the college football season, home teams and favored teams have burned bettors. Home teams have covered only 40.13 percent of the time, according to Covers.com. Favorites, meanwhile, are few points higher but are still covering only 43.59 percent of their games.

For those without third-grade math skills, that means away teams are covering at a clip of 59.87 percent and underdogs are 56.41 percent. Furthermore, home favorites teams sit at 40.31 percent, while away favorites are 59.26 percent.

Here's a full breakdown:

Category Record Percent
Away Teams 94-63-5 59.87%
Home Teams 63-94-5 40.13%
Favorites 68-88-5 43.59%
Dogs 88-68-5 56.41%
Away Favorites 16-11-0 59.26%
Away Dogs 77-52-5 59.69%
Home Favorites 52-77-5 40.31%
Home Dogs 11-16-0 40.74%
