You wouldn't know it from the ticket counts, but college basketball is also in action tonight. Bettors certainly aren't going out of their way to take on college hoops, but these are still games with lines offering potential value.

One game in particular — Houston vs. Georgia Tech — has caught the attention of sharps, and they're quietly moving this line while the majority of bettors are focused elsewhere.

Here's how the pros are betting Houston vs. Georgia Tech and why this line is on the move.

College Basketball Sharp Betting Pick: Houston vs. Georgia Tech 

Houston opened as an 8-point favorite and 62% of bets are backing the Cougars.

However, while Georgia Tech is garnering just 38% of the spread action, those bets account for an overwhelming 85% of money wagered, revealing that the biggest bets are hitting the underdog Yellow Jackets.

Sports Insights' Bet Signals triggered a Steam Move at Georgia Tech +8, confirming that wiseguy action is responsible for the lopsided money splits.

With heavy money from respected bettors hitting the Jackets, oddsmakers have had no choice but to drop this spread to +7.5, with some books down to +7 as well.

Sharp angle: Georgia Tech (moved from +8 to +7.5)
