No matter the matchup, the NFL’s Thursday Night Football will always reign supreme over its college football counterpart.
Despite what is generally regarded as an ugly Jaguars vs. Bengals matchup, Thursday Night Football has landed more than 5.5 times the number of betting tickets than Virginia vs. Miami at the time of writing.
Further, Jaguars vs. Bengals isn’t all that interesting from a betting market standpoint either thus far.
Now, that can certainly change, but all of the early-week, market-moving action for Thursday night has bypassed the NFL and is instead flowing on Virginia vs. Miami.
Here’s the Thursday college football bet the professionals are making, including how the wiseguys already have oddsmakers on their heels for this matchup.
Virginia vs. Miami Sharp Betting Pick
The Virginia vs. Miami spread opened at Hurricanes -3.5 at DraftKings Sportsbook, a number that has been blasted up to -6 over the last few days.
Action Labs’ Bet Signals triggered a Steam Move on Miami earlier this week and our college football public betting data confirms that oddsmakers are flush with Canes money.
Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the entire betting market that is often the result of bettors with the respect and resources to move lines getting down on the same side of the same game at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.
And for those interested in tailing the sharps, remember that while DraftKings and a handful of other shops have ticked up to -6, there are still plenty at -5.5, which is an important hook to snag for value-minded bettors.
PRO Report Pick: Miami -5.5
