The Sweet 16 continues tonight! Major League Baseball is back! There is plenty for both fans and bettors to sink their teeth into on this Friday night. But don't forget about the little guys, either.
The CIT is back in action as well as Cal State Bakersfield and Wisconsin Green Bay will meet in a quarterfinal matchup.
Casual bettors obviously have zero interest in this game — tonight's Auburn-UNC NCAA Tournament game has generated more than nine times the number of bets as CSU Bakersfield-Green Bay.
But professionals aren't ignoring tonight's CIT matchup. Using The Action Network's betting tools, let's take a look at how steady wiseguy action is moving this point spread.
The Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas opened the Phoenix (Green Bay) as 6-point favorites again the Roadrunners (Cal State Bakersfield) — yes, those are the real team names — with some books even starting out at -6.5.
Green Bay is attracting 74% of overall bets, yet the line has dropped to -5.5 across the market.
While nearly three out of four tickets are landing on Green Bay, the actual money wagered is much more balanced. According to The Action Network's public betting data, 51% of dollars are actually hitting CSU Bakersfield.
Sports Insights' Bet Signals have also weighed in on the line movement, triggering one Steam Move and one Reverse Line Move on the Roadrunners, providing insight into why the number has dropped to 5.5.
