I think sharps would jump hard on West Virginia + 7.5 if it ever became available.Ĭlemson opened at -10. My Power Ratings have the game closer than a TD at this site. Iowa State is in a letdown spot after its crowd rushed the field following the win over Oklahoma State. (I had a big player buy a half-point for -120 for a 10K bet on Iowa State -6.5.) This is another game where I don’t mind taking a position on the dog with 11/10 in my favor. We’ve taken a lot of bets on the Cyclones. Sharps took West Virginia + 8 and West Virginia + 7. This was also one of my “games of the year.” Back then, I opened Iowa State -8. Be sure you take the time to get the best line for any game you bet. That’s common around key numbers like three and seven. Could be a game that jumps between 6.5 and 7 between now and kickoff, with all the action either on NC State -6.5 or Louisville + 7. We’ve been getting played back on NC State since the line move. I opened NC State -7 and took a big bet on Louisville and dropped to 6.5. My opening total of 50 was bet up to 50.5. We just haven’t found the price yet that brings Michigan money to the counter. I expect this rivalry showdown to be heavily bet between now and kickoff. Sparty has been a popular choice for sharps and the public. Nobody was imagining this past summer that Michigan/MSU would feature two of the top eight teams in the country! I opened Michigan -4.5. This wasn’t part of the “games of the year” package. Overall, we haven’t taken a lot of Over/Under bets on the games we’ll be discussing today. Those preferring the dog would love + 4, but will probably have to settle for + 3.5. Sharps who liked Wisconsin got in early at -3.

I don’t mind taking a position on Iowa + 3.5 when the 11/10 is in my favor. But, my personal Power Ratings have the game closer to pick-em. We’ve taken a lot of Wisconsin bets so far.

Took two-way action at that price and closed the same. This was part of my “games of the year” package first posted several months ago. Be sure to check kickoff times for the attractions you’re most interested in watching and betting. Matchups are presented in Nevada rotation order so you can make notes on your schedules. Let’s look at market activity so far in all the big games. Throw in top-ranked Georgia facing huge rival Florida in the SEC and Notre Dame playing again in prime time against TV-friendly North Carolina and this could be our biggest Saturday open-to-close yet this season. But, even a game like Purdue/Nebraska is getting bet like it’s a marquee national matchup.

Week 9 Underdog Moneyline ParlayĬan the duo hit for the second week in a row? Calabrese believes this number is off due to a public correction on the Houston defense.
