Tulsa vs. Cincinnati Pick
Getting two touchdowns on the spread, Tulsa has been the side lighting up almost every one of our betting value indicators.
Sharp Action
Like some other games on today’s slate, this open-to-current line comparison is a bit misleading in the sense of revealing sharp action. That’s because it wasn’t until the line surpassed the two-touchdown mark that the pros really made their move.
Two Sports Insights Bet Signals have been triggered on Tulsa, at lines of +15.5 and +15, revealing two separate instances of market-moving sharp action.
Sharp Action edge: Tulsa
Big Money
Also helping to reveal the sharp side, the 60% of bettors on Tulsa have generated 80% of money landing on the spread. Of course, that’s a monetary liability for which sportsbooks need to account, but perhaps more importantly, it reveals how big bettors — the ones more likely to be sharps — are playing this spread.
