College Basketball Odds for Wednesday
Chattanooga vs. Georgia
2 p.m. ET
Though Chattanooga comes in as the buy team in this situation, the Mocs are not heavy underdogs against their SEC opponent.
Both teams come in after solid starts to the season, with Chattanooga at 8-4 and Georgia at 8-3, and those records seem to be reflected in the 4.5-point line.
Sharps like the value you can get with Chattanooga, and after this line opened at 5.5, they blitzed the number. Only 42% of the betting tickets are on the Mocs, but 84% of the money is on the same side, highlighting the big money that’s coming in.
Pick: Chattanooga +4.5 |
Eastern Illinois vs. Iowa
2:30 p.m. ET
Eastern Illinois and Iowa have been efficient against the spread this year, combining for a 13-8 record. So, where does the value reside in this matchup?
Sharp bettors are putting their money behind the heavy favorite in Iowa. It’s not often that you’ll see pros load up on a 30-plus point line, but that’s the situation we have here.
This number opened at 30.5 before getting pushed up to the place where it currently stands at most books, 31.5.
PRO Pick: Iowa -31.5 (-110 via Caesars)
