Here’s the Weekly Wise Guy Report for Week #8 of the college football season. Info is garnered from a variety of sources, including Nevada books, offshore stores as well as stateside underground shops. Any observations included are courtesy of my contacts. This week’s rundown is a bit shorter than usual, but some significant games are involved.
304 Virginia Tech has gotten some sharp play, and this is one of those somewhat infrequent occurrences where the square money is instead on the underdog.
326 West Virginia garnered some serious pro action on Wednesday. One of my offshore contacts thinks the public is going to jump on the Mountaineers as well and expects the number to continue to tick upward.
327 Indiana has been popular with the smarts on a few occasions this season, and the Hoosiers are making another appearance on this rundown. Note the action is not as heavy on them this week as in some other weeks.
336 Virginia is again catching sharp money as they host North Carolina. The Cavaliers disappointed wise guy backers last week, but they’re again a fairly popular choice this time around.
353 Charlotte has been rewarding sharp players lately, and they’re getting a good deal of attention again this week. As it’s a lower volume game, the number on this one has really moved.
358 Northern Illinois is a pro dough recipient this week in the heavy chalk role against lowly Buffalo.
371 Memphis got some early sharp play, although speculation is that this game has topped out already and will probably tick down a notch.
380 Bowling Green has received attention from the pros, but interestingly, that appears to only be at offshore locales right now.
400 LSU was a substantial pro play early in the week. That line might have already peaked and the public seems to be buying the Ole Miss side.
402 Auburn is the sharp side in a major league pros vs. joes battleground game. Big ticket count edge on underdog Arkansas right now, but the serious dollars are on the favored Tigers.
406 Alabama is also a heavy duty sharp side, and this is another game where the huge points are attracting public dog dollars.
That’s the skinny for now on what’s taking place behind the counters. Enjoy the weekend!
