Dave Mason of BetOnline reveals where the public and sharps are putting their money ahead of the biggest games of the weekend.

Clemson, the underdogs against Georgia, are taking 53% of the action! 

More importantly perhaps, the sharps are all over Clemson here +13.

It's interesting to note that 70% of the bettors are on UGA here.

Meanwhile, West Virginia is getting a lot of love at home with +8.5, becoming one of the most popular bets!

West Virginia is getting +8.5 at home in its game against Penn State.

"That's a very popular bet," Mason noted. "Sharps took the Mountaineers early at +10."

Notre Dame, getting a field goal at Texas A&M, is seeing a ton of early two-way action, according to Mason. Around 55% of the backing is on Texas A&M.

Not to be forgotten, Sunday night's LSU vs. USC game will most likely be the most wagered on game of the entire weekend, Mason predicts.

Approximately 61% of the early cash is on USC +4 here.  This includes some sharp action at +6.5.
