It’s Weekly Wise Guy Report day.
Here’s the rundown on the college games drawing sharp dollars so far this week. Info is garnered from various sources in Nevada, at offshore books plus stateside underground shops. Any commentary is via my contacts.
306 SMU is attracting some decent action for the Friday night clash with TCU. The Horned Frogs are not proving to be especially popular with the masses, so this is not shaping up as a sharp/square battleground game.
310 Utah is getting play from both the pros and the public.
322 Virginia has gotten early smart money action but the consensus seems to be that the line has gotten as low as it will go.
316 Florida International is somewhat the choice for the wise guys, thought it’s by no means overwhelming.
318 Buffalo is getting some attention from the pros, while the public is once again pounding the Army side.
321 Syracuse is pretty popular with both the sharps and the public.
324 Michigan is the rare big chalk piece that is getting well supported by the smarts.
326 Rutgers caught some early action from the professionals, but the general feeling is that this line will start to head back up now.
386 West Virginia got hit pretty hard early in the week, but the consensus is that the line has peaked at 7.
340 Akron is the pro choice as home dogs against Appalachian State. No one seems surprised by this off last week’s results.
341 Georgia Southern bombed out Western Michigan last season and the sharp money apparently believes the Eagles will get the job done again as they’re taking the points.
349 Oklahoma State is the wise guy side as the Cowboys take on Baylor. The public backed the Bears in a big way last week and got burned, and they’re also siding mostly with the visitors here.
318 Troy is again catching some wise guy play even though the Trojans are heavily favored this week.
361 Wisconsin is mostly the sharp side against Michigan State, although a couple of my sources indicated they believe it to be a smoke screen and that the late action will be on the Spartans.
366 Purdue is back on the wise guy list again. The Boilermakers were a heavy sharp side a couple weeks again and laid a rotten egg in the Cincinnati game.
375 Miami Ohio is, as usual, getting most of the pro dough in the annual rivalry game with Cincinnati.
382 Kentucky is geting most of the pro play, while underdog South Carolina is the more popular side with the public.
383 Florida is getting play from both the pros and the joes. The line drop ripped right through a key number and my contact in SEC country believes this spread could drop even more.
388 South Florida is shaping up as a sharp/square duel with the masses on the ‘Noles, but the wise guys backing the home underdog.
That’s the rundown for this week. Remember, this is only information about where the money is showing to this point, and much can change between now and game day. Have fun with it and good luck this weekend.
