College Basketball Odds, Sharpest Pick for Princeton vs. Cornell
*Odds as of Sunday morning
Cornell is a 4.5-point favorite against Princeton based on live college basketball odds.
But more importantly, the Big Red opened at -3.5 before wiseguys steamed Cornell at that number, pushing the spread out to the latest consensus of -4.5.
Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market and is often the result of bettors with the resources and respect to move odds getting down on the same side of the same game at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.
Further, Action PRO’s College Basketball Projections make this spread -6.3, which translates to a 3.7% edge when compared to the widely available -4.5.
