Underdog Tennessee is actually attracting 72% of early spread bets/63% of early spread dollars.

DK's total has been at 58.5 since Monday afternoon, after opening at 60.5 and going to 59.5 Sunday. Still, early action is heavy to the Over, at 72% of bets/90% of money.

EARLY WEEK UPDATE: Alabama is painted to -8.5 so far in Borgata Sports' college football odds Week 8 market.

"It’s been relatively balanced action early on," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "Alabama has looked like a potential title contender again, as its runs this gauntlet of a schedule in the SEC.

"It doesn’t get any easier for the Tide this week, as the Vols are their fourth ranked opponent in a row."

Borgata's total nudged from 59.5 to 59.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: No. 6 Alabama (5-1 SU/4-2 ATS) is on a three-game run against Top 20 talent. Coming off wins at Georgia and vs. Vanderbilt, the Crimson Tide went to Missouri as 3.5-point favorites and squeaked out a 27-24 victory.

No. 11 Tennessee (5-1 SU/3-3 ATS) got all it could handle from unranked Arkansas in Week 7. The Vols trailed at multiple junctures, but pulled ahead 34-17 by early in the fourth quarter. Tennessee then held on for a 34-31 victory, failing to cash as 10-point home chalk.

"Notre Dame-USC is interesting. It's pretty balanced action both ways, but we're probably better off with USC covering. And USC outright will kill a bunch of parlays," BetMGM trading manager Seamus Magee said.

The total is down to 59.5 (Over -115) from a 62.5 opener, with the final 2 points of that decline coming today. Still, Magee said BetMGM needs Under 59.5.

EARLY WEEK UPDATE: Notre Dame is out to -9.5 in Borgata Sports' Week 8 college football odds, after opening -7.5 Sunday.

"USC played a dominant game against Michigan on Saturday night," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "The Trojans ran for more yards than any other Michigan opponent all season, and also dramatically cut down on the penalties that have been plaguing them all year.

"Despite that effort, we have seen early money come in on the Irish. Notre Dame lost starting center Ashton Craig for the season, so a re-tooled offensive line will need to contain this Trojan pass rush."

The total is down a tick, from 62.5 to 62.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: No. 13 Notre Dame (4-2 SU/3-3 ATS) aims to keep its name in the College Football Playoff conversation. In Week 7, the Fighting Irish drilled North Carolina State 36-7 giving 24 points at home.

No. 20 USC (5-1 SU/3-3 ATS) has a chance to put together a couple of eye-catching wins. In Week 7, the Trojans thumped Michigan 31-13 as 3-point home favorites.

Circa Sports opened Notre Dame -9 and dropped to -8 within about 30 minutes Sunday. The total, however, climbed from 59.5 to 61.

Borgata's total is up a point to 54.5.

The Red Raiders opened -10.5 and stretched as far as -12.5 Monday. But the line has steadily declined since, making several stops along the way before settling at Tech -7.5 Wednesday.

GAME DAY UPDATE: Thirty minutes pre-kickoff, Vanderbilt is -1.5 in BetMGM's college football Week 8 odds. The Commodores spent almost all week at -2.5 (-115), went to -1.5 Friday at various juice, then very briefly touched -2.5 this morning.

EARLY WEEK UPDATE: Vanderbilt has gone from -1.5 to -2.5 in Borgata Sports' college football odds Week 8 market.

"We took some early Vanderbilt money," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "This Commodores team is capable of putting up a lot of point, but they were finally slowed down by Alabama two weeks ago."

So Vandy perhaps had a well-timed bye in Week 7.

"They have had time to prep for this much improved LSU defense, which has allowed only one opponent to score more than 20 points this season," Gable said.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: No. 17 Vanderbilt (5-1 SU/4-2 ATS) is rested after a week off, following a closer-than-the-final-score-indicated loss at Alabama. The Commodores led 7-0 and 14-7, and the game was tied at 14 at halftime.

Vandy was down 23-14 when 'Bama, looking primarily to run out the clock, scored a touchdown, and the Commodores lost 30-14 as 12.5-point underdogs.

No. 10 LSU (5-1 SU/3-3 ATS) rebounded from its lone loss of the season, a Week 5 setback at Ole Miss. Following a bye week, the Tigers topped South Carolina 20-10 as 8.5-point home favorites.

Circa Sports opened this game at pick 'em in its college football odds Week 8 market. The line quickly moved to Vanderbilt -2.5, then went to -1.5/-2, before setting at -1 at 2:30 p.m. ET Sunday. The total climbed from 47.5 to 49.

• Opening moneyline: Miami -500/Louisville +395

Early spread tickets are running 2.5/1 and early spread money 2/1 on the Hurricanes in college football Week 8 odds.

EARLY WEEK UPDATE: Borgata Sports went from Miami -14 to -13.5, but is back at -14 on Monday night.

Borgata's total is down a point, from 53.5 to 52.5.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: No. 2 Miami (5-0 SU/4-1 ATS) got a breather with a bye in Week 7. The Hurricanes just completed a three-game Sunshine State sweep, winning and cashing against South Florida, Florida and Florida State.

In Week 6, Miami was a 3.5-point road favorite and beat the Seminoles 28-22.

Louisville (4-1 SU/1-4 ATS) also had a bye, perhaps much needed after its first loss of the season. In Week 6, the Cardinals fell to Virginia 30-27 in overtime as 6.5-point home favorites.

Circa Sports, highly regarded for its opening numbers, made Miami a 13-point favorite in college football Week 8 odds, at approximately 1:30 p.m. ET Sunday. There was no early spread movement, but the total nudged from 53.5 to 54 shortly after opening.
