The final week of the college football regular season is the biggest rivarly weekend.

If you wonder about spread, moneyline and parlays when wagering and the amount of action on those at the leading online sportsbooks, Dave Mason provides some insight as brand marketing manager at BetOnline. 

On moneyline discrepancies on teams and how it’s developed, Mason says on WagerTalk: “A lot of it’s on action, and some sharp action. There’s just so much money on teasers and more moneyline parlays, and we’re taking more action on those than straight wagers, by a lot.”

Pick: Washington State (-17) vs. Wyoming (non top 25) 

Update Saturday and here is what I sent to sports betting group and colleagues. More often I play underdogs, but laying the wood in anticipated Cougars crushing of Cowboys. At least 460 yards offense projected for Washington State, and likely much more in this last home game. Wyoming players have checked out, on road in 2-win season and mass exocus of players going into transfer portal. WSU recent two losses only provide more incentive to bury inferior opponent with Wyoming off their biggest effort of season in close, late loss to Mountain West best Boise State. Cowboys riding into Pullman in body only, and planning on them getting skinned and clawed by the Cougars.
