It’s the weekly Wise Guy Wednesday report. Info is obtained from various personal contacts in Nevada, offshore and via stateside underground books as well.
307 Indiana is off a bad loss to Bowling Green, but the Hoosiers have attracted sharp early money as they prepare to visit Missouri on Saturday.
312 Akron is getting plenty of play from pros. This will also be a popular side among trend bettors, but the public is going to be on the favorite, creating a pros vs. joes duel.
326 Wisconsin has been getting heavy play right from the opening bell, but it’s not necessarily sharp dough. Regardless, the house will be hoping Bowling Green can somehow stay inside the bug number come Saturday.
329 Army got popped right away and the Cadets continue to generate action. One of my east coast contacts told me that 100% of his wagers on this game are on Army.
346 Memphis is again getting bet by the pros. The Tigers got sharp dollars in their game with UCLA, but there was a nice offset with square action in that game. That’s apparently not the case this week.
349 Appalachian State isn’t getting what anyone could call heavy play in what is a throughly unattractive matchup with Southern Miss, but the more respected play is on the underdog Mountaineers.
357 Florida has drawn the majority of the early sharp dollars, but two of my sources are of the belief this is influence wagering and that sharps are looking to buy back Alabama bigger at a better number.
367 Virginia has been a hit with the sharps twice already, with the Cavaliers cashing against both UCLA and Louisville. They’re getting pro play again this week vs. BYU, but not as heavily as in the previous two games.
369 Texas State was a monster sharp play last week, which then also drew big public action with the Navy starting QB out. That didn’t work out, but the Bobcats are again drawing pro interest as they visit Illinois.
371 Old Dominion is mostly an unknown quantity as the Monarchs are a first-year FBS program, but they’re the hot side as they hook up with Rice.
375 Miami Ohio is on the sharp list to some extent as a huge underdog against Cincinnati.
390 West Virginia is one of the major sharp movers this week. Oklahoma opened at nearly two TD’s, so it’s fair to say that any value on the Mountaineers is already long gone.
391 California is also a heavy duty pro side on the early action. The consensus is that this line could continue to drop as we approach game day.
