College Basketball Odds, Sharpest Pick for SMU vs. California
*Odds as of Wednesday morning
SMU is a 3.5-point road favorite against California, with Wednesday’s over/under set at 153.5 according to live college basketball odds.
More importantly, this line opened at Mustangs -2.5 before wiseguys steamed it late Tuesday night, driving it up to the current consensus of -3.5.
Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market and is often the result of bettors who have the resources and respect to move odds getting down on the same side of the same game at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.
And not only is SMU attracting sharp action, it’s also popping at today’s single-largest college basketball edge.
Specifically, Action PRO projects this spread at SMU -7.5, resulting in an eye-popping 11.6% edge when compared to the widely available -3.5 at the time of writing.
Essentially every major sportsbook is pricing SMU -3.5 at -110, but it still couldn’t hurt to shop this line if you’re backing the Mustangs on Wednesday night.
