- Sharps are making late moves on tonight's Florida State vs. Wake Forest matchup (7:30 p.m. ET, ACC Network).
- The tools available at The Action Network reveal how pros are playing the point spread.
The 2019 season has looked a bit different for Florida State and Wake Forest. The Noles already have three losses, and were close to an embarrassing fourth in Week 2 when they were taken to overtime by … UL Monroe.
Meanwhile, Wake started the season 5-0 before dropping its first game last weekend — a 62-59 shootout with Louisville.
On their home field, the Deacs opened as 2.5-point favorites in tonight's game, and were briefly bet up to -3 on Monday.
Some sharp FSU action at the key number of +3 quickly brought the line back inside the key number, and it never reached that point again. It also failed to attract any more significant pro money throughout the week — until Saturday afternoon.
Florida State came into the morning as a 1.5-point underdog. Now, the Noles are 1-point favorites.
Tickets and money have been close to split, with Wake taking the edge in the former (53%) and FSU the latter (also 53%). While that's not a big discrepancy, it does indicate that FSU is drawing the bigger (and perhaps sharper) bettors.
Sports Insights' Bet Signals — triggered by market-wide movement that comes as a result of sharp action — have revealed two steam moves on the Noles at +1 since noon ET.
Steam refers to a heavy dose of money hitting the same side all at once, and is a clear indication of professional action.
