Here’s this week’s Wise Guy Report for the colleges. The information garnered comes from various sources behind the counter both here in Nevada as well as offshore, plus scattered stateside underground shops. As always, a caveat that this is only information, and comments offered are from my sources.
306 MASSACHUSETTS has drawn some sharp money. No one seems surprised by this with Boston College having played last week in Ireland.
312 KANSAS is taking action as they host Ohio University. This game has actually been one of the big movers from the Sunday openers.
324 INDIANA was fairly popular last week and the Hoosiers are getting played again this week. Mostly public money, but there hasn’t been any buyback at all from the smarts.
329 AKRON is getting some pro play, although it’s not particularly heavy. More like a steady trickle according to one of my contacts.
338 SOUTH FLORIDA has drawn consistent sharp money. A little added info here, regarding star RB Marlon Mack. He’s questionable with a concussion, but head coach Taggart said at his weekly press conference that “we heal differently around here.” Read into that whatever you want.
339 WAKE FOREST is shaping up as the sharp side in a potential pros vs. joes game at Duke.
341 CONNECTICUT is the clear smart money side in the Huskies matchup with Navy. This line has moved substantially from where it opened, and the flow has been from the pros.
349 UTSA is another side drawing some sharper dollars as they visit Colorado State. The Rams obviously didn’t inspire much confidence with they showing last week.
368 TENNESSEE is getting more of the wise guy dough in what looks like a pretty good two-way action game against Virginia Tech.
389 TEXAS TECH is proving to be popular with the public bettors, and the smart money is also siding with the Red Raiders as of now.
That’s about it for this week. Action has been slower than it was last week at this time, which is not even a little bit surprising. The fact that the NFL is playing for real plus the college slate being far less attractive than a week ago guaranteed this.
