PrintThe oddsmakers at Cantor Gaming must have read a copy of Phil Steele’s 2012 college football preview magazine.
Cantor released over/under win totals for 54 college football teams on Friday, and two of the biggest differences compared to offshore sportsbooks are with Florida State and Kansas State.
The Seminoles, of course, are Steele’s pick to win the 2013 national title, while he expects the Wildcats to regress from their 10-win season a year ago.

Kansas State’s is at 8, but Cantor has it at 7.5 (with the under juiced).
Cantor is obviously taking a position against the Wildcats, expecting—like many—that they can’t duplicate both their high turnover differential (+12) and success in close games (seven wins by a TD or less) from 2011. Kansas State defied oddsmakers and public bettors alike last season by winning six games outright as underdogs.
Looking at the 2012 schedule, the Wildcats have six games in which they should be favored by at least a touchdown, but it will again come down to the “scheme doctor” Bill Snyder outmaneuvering opponents in the other half of the schedule.
Can he do it again? You should know by now what we think.
One other note: All 54 of these totals involve a half-win, so Cantor clearly isn’t looking for any pushes on these bets.
