The Missouri Valley Conference Tournament gets underway Thursday at 1 p.m. ET (ESPN+) with 9-seed Indiana State taking on 8-seed Southern Illinois.
Indiana State hammered Southern Illinois, 95-77, just four days ago, however, it’s the Salukis favored by 1 point for Thursday’s matinee.
This begs the question: What’s up with with Southern Illinois vs. Indiana State odds?
Should bettors expect a similar result today and take Indiana State as an underdog? Or was Sunday’s game a fluke and Southern Illinois is ripe with bounce-back value?
And is the over/under, not the spread, attracting smart money?
Thanks to Action PRO’s cutting edge betting tools, we can quickly answer these burning questions.
Southern Illinois vs. Indiana State Odds, Sharp Betting Pick
As mentioned above, Southern Illinois vs. Indiana State odds show the Salukis at -1 against the Sycamores with the over/under sitting at 156.5.
According to Action PRO’s sharp action indicator, it’s the under catching the eyes of the wiseguys for Thursday’s game.
This total initially hit the market at 158.5 before professionals steamed the under on multiple occasions, forcing an adjustment to the current consensus of 156.5.
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 wager at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.
Please note that some sportsbooks, like Caesars and bet365, have already dipped to 156, so be sure to shop for the best line if playing Thursday’s Indiana State vs. Southern Illinois under.
