CBB Sharp Report: 2-Game Slate Attracting Heavy Professional Action

Wiseguys went 2-1 with their Wednesday plays, cashing the Columbia spread and the LSU-Houston Over. Tonight we have a small slate with only two college hoops games on tap.

But sharps aren't taking the night off and have found value in both matchups.

Morehead State at Samford

7 p.m. ET on ESPN

Sharp angle: Morehead State (moved from +8.5 to +6.5)

This is the favorite spread bet of the night for wiseguys.

Recreational bettors see 3-6 Morehead State on the road against 8-2 Samford and that's all they need to know. Pound the home favorite with the better record. See you at the window. On to the next.

But sharps aren't taking the bait.

Samford opened as an 8.5-point favorite. Despite 70% of bets laying the points, Samford has fallen from -8.5 to -6.5. Some books are even down to -6.

Why would the oddsmakers drop the line to give public Samford bettors an easier shot at covering?

Because wiseguys have been getting down on the road dog, creating big liability that forced the books to adjust the line in Morehead's favor.

Using our Sports Insights Bet Signals, we've noticed four separate steam and reverse line moves on Morehead at +9.5, +9 and +7.

Morehead is only getting 30% of bets but 62% of dollars — further indication of smart money in its favor.
