  • Sharp bettors are affecting lines in three of Saturday's college basketball matchups, including Tennessee-Texas A&M and Indiana-Michigan State.
  • Sports Insights' Bet Signals along with betting market percentages help reveal which way the smart money is going.

Super Bowl weekend kicks off with quite a slate of college basketball games. More than 100 matchups will tip off Saturday, and sharps have taken notice.

Three games in particular, including Tennessee-Texas A&M (8 p.m. ET, ESPN), have drawn some significant action from wiseguys, and oddsmakers have adjusted lines as a result.

Notre Dame @ Boston College

2 p.m. ET | ESPN CE

Sharp angle: Notre Dame (moved from +3 to +2)

With two 11-win teams facing off, the public has been comfortable laying a short spread on the home side. Seventy-seven percent of bets, in fact, have come on Boston College so far.

Despite that, though, the Eagles have fallen from -3 to -2.

Sharps have been all over the Irish, as evidenced by both money percentages and Sports Insights Bet Signals.

The 23% of bets on Notre Dame have generated 50% of actual dollars, meaning bigger bettors — the ones more likely to be sharps — are taking the underdog.

Two Bet Signals have also revealed smart money hitting the Irish at the opening number to drive the line down.



Indiana @ Michigan State

6 p.m. ET

Sharp Angle: Indiana (moved from +16 to +14)

In a similar fashion, Michigan State's spread has been reduced despite a heavy public backing.

Sixty-nine percent of bets have landed on the home favorite, which is probably to be expected given the Spartans' No. 6 ranking and better record, but this line has gone from -16 to -14.

As was the case with Notre Dame, Indiana has drawn a significantly higher money than bet percentage (65% vs. 31%), serving as the first sign of sharp action on the dog.

A Sports Insights Bet Signal was also triggered on the Hoosiers at +14.5 to help bring the line down.

Tennessee @ Texas A&M

8 p.m. ET | ESPN

Sharp angle: Texas A&M (moved from +12 to +11.5)

Of teams in heavily bet games, Texas A&M is the least popular on today's slate.

Only 16% of bets are coming on the Aggies against the top-ranked team in the nation, but once again, oddsmakers have been forced to move the line away from the popular side thanks to sharp action.

The 16% of bets on A&M have accounted for an impressive 58% of actual money being wagered on the game. That, plus the Bet Signal triggered at the opening number, has caused this line to fall a half-point.
