Sharp Action
Recreational bettors overwhelmingly prefer favorites, even with massive spreads.
However, according to Action Labs’ Bet Signals the wiseguys are also laying the points with Wake Forest on Friday night.
As recently as Monday afternoon, this spread sat at Demon Deacons -30 at BetMGM, but as I mentioned above, smart money came in on the home favorites, kicking this number up to -32 at most shops across the market.
Bettors already favor Wake Forest (63% of tickets have landed on the home favorite), and even more telling is the 93% of money on that side as well (click here for all college football Week 1 betting percentages).
This suggests that oddsmakers are not only heavy with Demon Deacons money, but that’s also the side of tonight’s game attracting the biggest bets.
