Tail the sharpest bettors in the world

As judged by its betting line, Butler vs. DePaul is expected to be among the closest matchups in college basketball tonight. The home Blue Demons are currently given just a 1-point edge in the betting market — a number that's seen some change in either direction since opening.

According to our PRO Report, sharp bettors have played a role in some of that change. And as it stands currently, the number is offering some value based on our model's projection, which has attracted our experts as well.

Note: Odds, data as of 12 p.m. ET.


College Basketball Sharp Betting Pick: Butler vs. DePaul

After an initial shakedown from its -2 opener, DePaul has been showing a few indicators of betting value.

Sharp Action

While comparing openers to current lines can often provide some insight as to how sharps might be betting, in this case that method would prove misleading.

It wasn't until DePaul had moved all the way across zero to +1 that sharps really made their move, as evidenced by two Bet Signals from Action Labs — triggered when market movement suggests sharp action — at that number. An ensuing Bet Signal at a pick'em helped bring the minus-sign back to the home side.

Sharp Action edge: DePaul

Model Projection

Our brand new college basketball model agrees with the sharps' take. In fact, it pegs the Demons as even greater favorites than they opened, suggesting the true spread to be DePaul -4.2, giving that bet an A-graded edge.
