With the NFL Divisional Round looming this weekend, Friday’s sports schedule seems quite slow.
Yes, there are 14 college basketball games for bettors to analyze, but without a single top-25 team in action, tonight’s slate isn’t exactly popping off the page.
Nevertheless, 14 games with college basketball odds means there is the potential for betting value — and that’s exactly what we’re seeing for Friday’s Ball State vs. Kent State matchup.
Below, we look at the latest college basketball odds movement, including the pick that the wiseguys are making for Ball State vs. Kent State tonight.
Ball State vs. Kent State Pick
FanDuel Sportsbook opened Ball State as a 9.5-point underdog against Kent State, and pro bettors have quietly taken a position on the Cardinals.
Action Labs Bet Signals report that sharps have steamed Ball State twice thus far, convincing oddsmakers to kick the point spread down to +8 or +8.5, depending on the sportsbook.
Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the betting market that is often the result of bettors with the respect and resources to move odds getting down on the same side of the same game at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.
The spread does vary from shop to shop, so be sure to visit the Action Network College Basketball Live Odds Page to pick off the free half-point of value before backing the Cardinals on Friday night.
