Way-too-early win totals: Notre Dame opens at 8.5, and early action seems to be on the under

May 14, 2012

College football win totals won’t be officially released until mid-June at the earliest, but 5Dimes sportsbook has been teasing us over the last few months by dribbling them out a few at a time.

On Sunday, the offshore sportsbook added eight additional teams, bringing the grand total to 31. There are teams from all six BCS conferences, but the SEC is the only league that has totals for each of its member schools.

Among the new teams added was Notre Dame, which has an over/under of 8.5 with heavy juice (-210) applied to the under.

It isn’t known how many teams 5Dimes expects to release totals for, but last year they came out with roughly 50.

Rather than move their numbers as bets come in, 5Dimes has instead opted to adjust the juice. As a result, you’ll see some totals like USC 9.5 (over -260), which is a full game lower than its projected over/under of 10.5.

Below you’ll find the current list of teams being offered as well as BTB projections.
