Odds for an Over/Under wager could look like this: Whereas NFL totals are usually not above 55 points, college games can regularly have game totals above 70 points or higher. NCAA Football betting sites take this into consideration when posting the odds. Scoring is much higher in college due to two key rule differences: the clock stops every time the offense gets a first down, and players need to put only one foot in bounds for a catch to count.

The combined number of points scored in the game by both teams are totals, also known as Over/Under wagers.

In a matchup between LSU and Alabama, the odds might look like this:
Unlike the NFL, where double-digit point spreads are uncommon, the typical board on an NCAA Saturday will have loads of double-digit favorites.
