It’s been a fun run for sharp bettors and readers of this column of late as we’ve been able to pinpoint solid college basketball odds value for under-the-radar weekday matchups.
This week has been slow regarding early college basketball games, but we’re back at it on Wednesday with Norfolk State taking on Baylor at 12 p.m. ET (ESPN+).
Norfolk State vs. Baylor isn’t likely to draw a big betting handle on Wednesday afternoon, especially from recreational bettors.
However, smart money is already impacting today’s college basketball odds.
Below, we leverage Action PRO’s premium betting tools to unearth the college basketball pick that pros are making for Norfolk State vs. Baylor.
College Basketball Odds, Sharp Pick for Norfolk State vs. Baylor
*Odds as of Wednesday morning
According to our live college basketball odds, Baylor is a massive 26.5-point spread favorite against Norfolk State, which I assume isn’t surprising anybody.
83% of early action is on the Spartans to keep it within the number today, so bettors aren’t sold on a Baylor blowout.
However, when it comes to the wise guys, they’re pivoting toward the over/under instead.
After opening at 142.5, sharps steamed the Norfolk State vs. Baylor over, driving this line up to the latest consensus of 144.5.
For those curious, steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market. It 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.
PRO Pick: Over 144.5 (-115, BetMGM)
