Unless you’re The Action Network’s Senior Producer/”Reverse Run Line King”/cheese curd aficionado Matt Mitchell, you might not be aware of the fact there’s a primetime college football game on ESPN tonight!
The holiday weekend’s slate starts with UAB vs. Jacksonville State on Wednesday in a game that obviously isn’t garnering near the attention of the much more high-profile matchups we’ll see over the next five days.
Still, recreational bettors will likely jump at the chance to for a little nationally-televised football action, and based on our PRO betting tools, professionals have already played a key part in shaping UAB vs. Jacksonville odds that we see right now.
Let’s examine how smart money from respected bettors is flowing on the UAB vs. Jacksonville State matchup.
UAB vs. Jacksonville State Pick
Because Jacksonville State is an FCS program, odds for this college football matchup haven’t been available for long. However, that hasn’t stopped wiseguys from taking a clear position on the spread.
After UAB opened as a 14.5-point favorite over Jacksonville State at BetMGM, our tools have tracked three separate moves of sharp action hitting the Blazers, so it’s no surprise to see this spread up to a consensus of 16.5 across the market.
In fact, The Action Network’s public betting data is also showing 60% of the money backing the Blazers on just 43% of the tickets (click here to see betting percentages for every college football Week 1 matchup).
We refer these situations as “bets-vs.-dollars discrepancies” and they typically occur when one side of a given matchup is garnering bigger bets than the other, evidenced by significantly more money on a smaller percentage of actual tickets.
