MACtion Wednesday Odds & Picks: Sharp Data Fuels +285 Prediction
Following sharp money typically offers a solid edge.
A neat system in Bet Labs, however, shows when it's smart to fade the wiseguys — and this model is popping for MACtion Wednesday.
Bettors looking for a savvy pick on Wednesday's college football games should consider getting down on the Kent State moneyline.
Here's why.
Central Michigan vs. Kent State odds opened -7.5 and are up to -9.5. The "Contrarian Underdog" model crafted by Action's Evan Abrams shows that when the spread is between +4 and +13.5, and the line has moved against the underdog by 2+ points throughout the cycle, it's the sweet spot for moneyline upsets.
Kent State, at +285 odds to win outright vs. the Chippewas, makes the cut.
Kent State was thought to be one of the worst FBS programs entering the season. However, new coaching and a little momentum have the Golden Flashes running hot, especially after a win over Akron for the Wagon Wheel.
