Inside the Steam - Week of Oct 6th

 

 

The following article is from Stan Sharp as told to (and posted by) a Pregame.com staff writer. We have convinced Stan to sit for an occassional interview that we'd convert into an article.

Stan Sharp took the time to discuss some of the Key Line Moves this week as we will call this series "Inside the Steam


Florida @ LSU
LSU Opened (+9) Now (+7.5)


This move was Wise Guys taking advantage of the uncertain status of Tim Tebow. Offshore sportsbook Cris opened the game at  (+11.5). Vegas waited a little longer  and opened the Game at (+9). Since then the line has been bet down to (+7.5). Stan feels that this was strictly a position move as Wise Guys in town grabbed the highest number they could with LSU. As we get closer to Saturday the sharps will buy back Florida at (-7 or 7.5) creating a nice middle for themselves. Actually Stan was surprised that the Offshore Books and Vegas brought the number out so early with the uncertainty regarding Tebow. For a game of this nature they should of held the game off the board for a day or two to have a better idea if Tebow was going to play or not. Stan says that this move was not a result of steam but a positioning bet from Wise Guys who will buy back later in the week with Florida.

Connecticut @ Pitt
Connecticut Opened (+10.5) Now (+8)


Stan notes that this Games was bet right from the start as this game quickly made it's way down to 8 from 10.5 as the Wise Guys seemed like they couldn't get enough of Connecticut. Stan says you have to respect this move as they are betting against Pitt a team that was on National TV last Friday and looked very dominate in beating Louisville 35-10 so the fact they jumped on the dog here is a Move to respect. Stan believes this was a True Steam Move.



Bowling Green @ Kent
Kent Opened (+6) Now (+4.5)


This move on the Dog has the Wise Guys and oddsmakers just disagreeing in the real value of these two teams. Fact is Bowling Green hasn't done a thing since they almost beat Missouri in the second game of the season. It appears the Oddsmakers are having trouble deciding the right number for Bowling Green. The Wise Guys told them they are wrong and jumped on the dog. Stan says he believes the Wise Guys move to be the right side given the fact Bowling Green is giving up 6.8 yards per rush the last 3 games. Stan says Kent is a True Steam Move.


Washington @ Carolina
Washington Opened (+4.5) now (+3)


Offshore this line opened at 4.5 but the Vegas casinos were smarter than that and waited and opened the line at 3.5 & 3 . Stan's take was the Oddsmakers were thinking that Carolina being a playoff team last year and at 0-3 this year would get some action coming off the bye week. Well the Wise Guys know Carolina isn't good and they have adjusted their numbers faster than the Oddsmakers have so the Wise Guys took the value and grabbed all the 4 and 4.5's they could find with Washington. Stan believes this was a True Steam Move and that this line should settle right on 3 come Sunday.
