*Odds as of Thursday afternoon
Thursday night’s Dallas Cowboys vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL season opener is getting all of the attention from bettors, and for good reason.
First off, the NFL is the most popular of all sports in the US, then throw in the reigning Super Bowl champions taking on “America’s Team,” and we have all the makings of a monster betting event.
However, just because a game is “big” doesn’t mean it’s also a good bet.
The inverse of that is also true.
Just because a game is flying under the radar compared to other more high-profile matchups doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not offering a smart betting opportunity either.
And while the overwhelming majority are singularly focused on Thursday night’s Cowboys vs. Bucs matchup, expert bettors have been quietly getting down on Friday night’s much smaller UTEP vs. Boise State college football tilt.
UTEP vs. Boise State Pick
Sharp Action
UTEP opened as a 27-point underdog against Boise State at DraftKings Sportsbook, a number that was quickly kicked down to +26 (click here for live college football Week 2 odds) via a light influx of professional betting again.
This is not a situation in which sharps have been slamming the same side in multiple waves over and over, but we have tracked one instance of smart money coming down on UTEP earlier this week resulting in the spread movement we’ve seen thus far.
Big Money
The Miners have landed 46% of the spread tickets for Friday night’s matchup, but that slight minority represents 69% of the loot, another sign that oddsmakers are heavy on the underdogs.
Top Experts
Not one, not two (thanks LeBron) but three of The Action Network’s experts have already gotten down on UTEP as well, showing that our top college football bettors also prefer the points in this matchup.
