College Basketball Pick: Kent State vs. Toledo
Yes, the Rockets are -5.5 against the Golden Flashes for Thursday morning’s game.
However, this spread opened at -4 before wiseguys were quick to pounce on the favorites.
Action Labs’ Bet Signals are reporting that sharps have steamed Toledo twice thus far, explaining why this number has stretched to a consensus of -5.5, and even up to -6 at DraftKings Sportsbook.
Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market that 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.
