Wednesday’s college basketball odds board offers a 61-game schedule, with five 12 p.m. ET matchups starting the slate.
And while most games on a typical Wednesday, especially during the day, get passed over by recreational bettors, today will be different.
With many traveling before tomorrow’s Thanksgiving holiday, bettors may turn to college basketball action to help pass the time spent in cars, on planes, etc.
As a result, I turned to Action PRO’s premium picks and betting tools to help unearth the sharpest early college basketball pick for Wednesday.
I quickly landed on a game between two higher-profile programs: Louisville vs. Indiana (ESPN).
Sharpest College Basketball Pick for Louisville vs. Indiana
*College basketball odds as of Wednesday morning
As of this writing, Indiana has garnered 80% of the spread tickets as a 2.5-point favorite against Louisville.
However, professional bettors are taking the points with the Cardinals instead.
After opening at +3.5, sharps steamed Louisville multiple times, pushing this number down an entire point to +2.5.
Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market, which 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.
Interestingly, while most sportsbooks have adjusted to Louisville +2.5, DraftKings is still offering this spread at +3, so, as always, be sure to shop for the best odds if taking a position on the Cardinals for Wednesday’s matinee.
PRO Pick: Louisville +3 (-110, DraftKings)
