NFL and college football totals led spreads and moneylines in win rate. Six of the 10 most-backed lines won.
Podcast-attributed game totals went 93-63-1 in the NFL and 74-51-1 in college football. Among the 10 exact totals backed by the most distinct podcasts, six won and four lost. Even the most-backed line had only eight shows. This is one settlement week, not a forecast or a measure of profit.
Where totals fit in the football board
These are podcast-level settled records. One podcast selection is one record; the same game can appear across shows and lines. Win rates use wins plus losses and exclude pushes.

Game totals had the highest win rate among these three major markets in each league. The samples have different sizes and prices. The percentages do not establish a betting edge.
The most-backed totals and how they finished
The top 10 were selected by distinct canonical podcasts backing the same sport, matched game, full-game period, over/under side, and exact line. We ranked support before checking outcomes. Ties use the normalized selection identity in ascending order. A show counts once for a selection even if it mentioned it in more than one episode.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Baltimore Ravens at Dallas Cowboys NFL · Sep 27, 2026 CT | Over 52.5 | 8 | Baltimore Ravens 34, Dallas Cowboys 31 65 points | win |

| 10 | Atlanta Falcons at Green Bay Packers NFL · Sep 24, 2026 CT Source links (4 podcasts) | Over 42.5 | 4 | Atlanta Falcons 35, Green Bay Packers 14 49 points | win |
The 10 selections represent 52 podcast-selection records, but only 10 distinct exact selections. The biggest group was eight distinct podcasts on Ravens at Cowboys Over 52.5, which won 34-31. That was the highest exact-line support in this tracked sample, not a claim of broad consensus. Seven backed Bengals at Steelers Under 42.5, which lost 30-27. Five backed Rams at Broncos Under 44.5, which also lost. This week cannot show whether support predicts results.
Two one-show pushes below the top 10
The top 10 had no pushes. Both push selections had one supporting podcast, below the four-show cutoff. They do not change the support-ranked list.
- Iowa Hawkeyes at Michigan Wolverines (Sep 25, 2026 CT): Under 39, Iowa Hawkeyes 20, Michigan Wolverines 19 (39 points). Pushing The Odds with Matt Perrault
- Miami Dolphins at Las Vegas Raiders (Sep 13, 2026 CT): Over 40, Miami Dolphins 13, Las Vegas Raiders 27 (40 points). Print Factory | Run Pure Sports
For Giants at Rams, six shows took Under 47.5, while two took Over 47.5 and three took Over 48.5. The 48.5 line is a different selection, not exact opposition to Under 47.5. Different lines on the same game remain separate throughout this report.

Methodology
This page shows a one-week snapshot and longer 2026 totals records. Both are frozen at the September 27 Central-time cutoff.
One week: September 21–27
The market charts, most-backed table, and six-show ranking use NFL and college-football picks settled from September 21 at 12:00 a.m. to September 28 at 12:00 a.m. Central time, with the end excluded. The six-show ranking combines both sports.
Tracked 2026 totals through September 27
The two leader honors use all available source-traced, settled game totals from 2026 through the same cutoff, including prior weeks. NFL and college football are ranked separately. A show needs 10 decisions in its sport; win rate ranks first, then decision count.
- Counting totals
- Exact selections match the sport, game, full-game period, side, and line. A podcast counts once per selection. We ranked the top 10 by support before checking outcomes. Pushes remain in records but do not count as win-rate decisions.
- Scores and sources
- All counted picks are traced to a source episode in the public canonical Ledger. Final scores come from its settlement fields; no grouped total had conflicting recorded scores or results in this capture. Feed links sometimes lead to a show page or audio file instead of an episode page.
- What this shows
- These are settled records across different lines, odds, and stakes. They do not establish that popular picks predict wins, that a podcast has a lasting edge, or that any group was profitable.
