NCAAF Odds API

College football is a volume sport. A single Saturday can carry more games than an entire NFL week, spread across time zones from noon kickoffs to late West Coast games. Our NCAAF odds API is built for that shape of schedule, returning the full board in one request rather than making you page through it.

Covering more than college? The football odds API returns NCAAF alongside the NFL, CFL, USFL and XFL from a single sport-level request.

NCAAF Odds API Features

Every endpoint is filterable, so you pull only the markets you need across 130+ FBS programs, the conference championship weekend, bowl season and the College Football Playoff.

Available college football betting markets include:

• Moneylines and regulation 3-way markets
• Point spreads and handicaps, including alternate lines
• Totals (over/under points), team totals, and even/odd
• Player props — passing, rushing, receiving, defensive and kicking
• Touchdown markets — anytime, first and last scorers
• Quarter and half markets (1Q–4Q, 1H, 2H)

All market data is available pre-game and live. Odds refresh sub-minute on the Pro plan, with Rookie and the free Amateur tier updating on a longer interval — see pricing for the frequency on each tier.

Coverage Depth Across the College Football Board

College football coverage is not uniform, and it is worth being direct about that. Ranked matchups and major conference games — the SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 and ACC — carry the deepest markets, with the full player prop catalogue posted much as it is for the NFL. Group of Five and lower-profile non-conference games reliably carry core markets: spread, moneyline and total, with props where individual sportsbooks choose to price them.

That gradient is itself useful. Books price marquee games sharply and agree closely; on smaller games they diverge more, which is exactly where line shopping and positive EV tools find their margin.

NCAAF Player Props API

College football player props cover passing yards, touchdowns, attempts, completions and interceptions; rushing and receiving yards, receptions and longest plays; anytime and first touchdown scorers; tackles, sacks and defensive interceptions; and kicking markets. Full-game markets plus half and quarter variants where books post them.

Props are returned in the same response as the game lines and identified by a single field, so filtering to only props — or excluding them — is one check. See the college football player prop odds API for the complete market list by sport.

NCAAF Odds API with Results

Odds and results arrive together in one unified response, so you can settle bets without adding a second data source. Each response includes:

• Live and upcoming college football games
• Home and away team data
• Player statistics and box scores
• Full odds coverage — spreads, totals, moneylines, player props and alternate lines
• Final scores and settlement data

Line movement is tracked throughout, from the opening number through kickoff — valuable in college football, where lines move hard on injury and availability news at programs that release less information than NFL teams.

Quick Start: Your First NCAAF Odds API Call

Fetching college football odds takes a single HTTP request:

https://api.sportsgameodds.com/v2/events?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY&oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=NCAAF&limit=10

A full Saturday board is large, so limit and pagination matter more here than in most leagues. To pull the NFL alongside it, pass both leagues:

https://api.sportsgameodds.com/v2/events?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY&oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=NCAAF,NFL&limit=25

To narrow to a specific market, use oddIDs. This returns passing yard over/unders for every college football player on the slate:

https://api.sportsgameodds.com/v2/events?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY&oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=NCAAF&oddIDs=passing_yards-PLAYER_ID-game-ou-over,passing_yards-PLAYER_ID-game-ou-under

OddIDs follow the format {statID}-{statEntityID}-{periodID}-{betTypeID}-{sideID}. The full list is in the stats reference, and markets & coverage shows which books support what.

Tips for a heavy Saturday slate:

• One object is one event no matter how many markets it returns, so a 50-game Saturday costs 50 objects — not 50 × every market
• Add bookmakerID=fanduel,draftkings to limit results to the books you care about
• Use includeOpposingOdds=true so you only need to specify one side of a market
• Keep your oddIDs list tight — only request markets you are actively using

What an NCAAF response looks like

Every event returns an odds object keyed by oddID. Here's a trimmed game spread, with the bookmaker list cut to two books:

{
  "eventID": "...",
  "leagueID": "NCAAF",
  "odds": {
    "points-home-game-sp-home": {
      "oddID": "points-home-game-sp-home",
      "opposingOddID": "points-away-game-sp-away",
      "marketName": "Spread",
      "statID": "points",
      "statEntityID": "home",
      "periodID": "game",
      "betTypeID": "sp",
      "sideID": "home",
      "fairOdds": "-108",
      "fairSpread": "-14.5",
      "bookOdds": "-110",
      "bookSpread": "-14.5",
      "byBookmaker": {
        "draftkings": { "odds": "-110", "spread": "-14.5", "available": true },
        "fanduel": { "odds": "-115", "spread": "-14", "available": true }
      }
    }
  }
}

Team markets use statEntityID values of home, away, or all; player props carry the player's ID instead, so that single field is how you separate them. Spread markets use fairSpread / bookSpread (and spread per book) rather than the overUnder fields totals use. Mismatched numbers across books are normal on college lines — FanDuel is on -14 above while DraftKings is on -14.5 — which is exactly the half-point difference key-number models look for.
