The NCAA Tournament is off until Thursday’s Sweet 16 games get underway, but that doesn’t mean college basketball odds are gone for the next few days, either.
Monday’s college basketball slate includes three CBI quarterfinal matchups, including Army vs. Florida Gulf Coast at 2 p.m. ET (FloCollege).
I’m fairly confident in saying the majority of recreational bettors will pass on Monday’s CBI slate.
On the other hand, these are games with college basketball odds, and where there are odds, there is also the potential for value.
Based on Action PRO’s Sharp Action value indicator, professionals are quietly getting down on Army vs. Florida Gulf Coast.
Let’s dig in.
College Basketball Odds, Sharpest Pick for Army vs. Florida Gulf Coast
*Odds as of Monday morning
Florida Gulf Coast is a notable 9.5-point spread favorite against Army for Monday’s matinee.
Interestingly, despite the large number, wiseguys are having no problems laying the points with the Eagles.
This spread initially posted at Florida Gulf Coast -8.5 before sharps steamed that opener, driving the line to the latest consensus of -9.5.
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.
In summary, this isn’t a game that most bettors will fall over themselves to get down on, but that’s not stopping the pros from doing what they do best: find value.
PRO Pick: Florida Gulf Coast -9.5 (-105) — BetMGM
