While a handful of books were holding at +5.5, most were on the +5, an indication that they are attempting to balance this action out. We don't see any opinion on this game.
The Cowboys-Rams game, to be played later this evening, was seeing mostly balanced action.
Moving on to College Basketball, Gambling911.com had another win with its pick on the Boilermakers, not just a cover but an outright victory over favored Wisconsin. That's digging us further out of a deep early hole.
Virginia is the most bet on side in College Basketball at -5.5 versus Clemson. They were seeing 67% of the action.
We have studied the line move here from -6.5 to -5, going sharply against the action.
Sagarin indicated a line of -7 for UVA so we are a bit reluctant to offer a pick on this game.
Duke is the next most bet on side at -7.5 playing at Florida State. 70% of the spread action was going towards the Blue Devils. We would expect to see the spread getting larger as a result.
This is occurring at some of the recreational books, not so much at the sharper shops. BetOnline we've seen the line drop from -8 to -7.
But this one is not convincing enough as too many books were still at -7.5 just hours before tipoff and Sagarin indicates a line that should be Duke -9.
No edges and no picks from Gambling911.com this day, at least not yet.
