This prop cashed very early last year when Tulsa beat Central Michigan 55-10 in the Miami Beach Bowl on December 19th. There are only two double-digit spreads this year: FSU -15.5 vs. Southern Miss, and FAU -22.5 vs. Akron, so those would be the best candidates for the ‘Yes’ to cash.
Will any team score 63+ points in a game?
Yes: +115
No: -155
Last year Idaho was the top-scoring team, beating Colorado State 61-50. The games with the highest totals to watch for this year are La Tech/SMU (70), Texas Tech/USF (68) and Auburn/UCF (67). We should get high-scoring affairs and one of those teams could put up 63+ points on their own.
How many games will go to overtime?
Over 2: +115
Under 2: -155
Last year there were two games that went into overtime, and this year the O/U is listed at 2 with juice on the Under. Even though there are a lot of close matchups, teams generally don’t want to play for overtime in bowl games.
Will any game go to double overtime?
Yes: +130
No: -170
Although there were two games that went into overtime last year, neither went into double overtime.
Will any game go to triple overtime?
Yes: +400
No: -600
Will any team be shutout?
Yes: +225
No: -305
Last year there were three teams to finish in single-digits but no shutouts (Iowa 3, Colorado 8, Louisville 9).
There are also O/U props on number of wins for each conference with the ACC leading the way:
| Conference | Win Total | Juice |
|---|---|---|
| ACC | 5 | Over -114 Under -106 |
| Pac-12 | 4 | Over -114 Under -106 |
| Big Ten | 4 | Over -160 Under +140 |
| SEC | 4 | Over +114 Under -134 |
| CUSA | 3 | Over -123 Under +103 |

Are there any conference win totals or prop bets you see that are worth betting?
