Fordham vs. La Salle Pick
Sharp Action
While the overall betting population has been split down the middle (Fordham holds just a slight 51% edge), sharp bettors seem to be pretty convinced of the side offering value.

Big Money
And while bettors are split on this game, the distribution of actual money has not been.
The 51% backing of Fordham has generated 88% of the money hitting this spread. Obviously, that's worthy of sportsbooks' attention in its own right, but perhaps more importantly, the discrepancy between bets and money reveals bigger bettors — the ones more likely to be sharps — to be on Fordham.
