College Football Odds & Predictions: Early Sharp Money Coming in on Thursday Games

College football odds are already getting targeted early by sharp bettors for a pair of Thursday night games.

Virginia Tech will be facing off with West Virginia while Coastal Carolina will be meeting Georgia State.

Both contests feature a point spread that is less than a field goal — as of Tuesday — so it’s likely that we get quality, competitive matchups.

Let’s look at where sharps are putting their money a couple of days before gametime.


Odds and data as of Tuesday at 3 p.m. ET.


Thursday CFB Sharp Money

West Virginia vs. Virginia Tech

7:30 p.m. ET

There’s no question where sharps have been getting bets down on this game, as there is a massive discrepancy in ticket percentage and money percentage.

82% of the betting tickets are on the Mountaineers to cover the small spread, but just 50% of the money is on the same side.

The biggest wagers have come in on the Hokies, and there’s also a model edge to be had with them.

Our power ratings make Virginia Tech -1 favorites in this game, so you can get a 3.5-point projected edge against the spread right now.

Sharp Action: Virginia Tech +2.5


Coastal Carolina vs. Georgia State

7:30 p.m. ET

This Group of Five contest features a 3-0 squad against an 0-3 team, but that isn’t stopping sharp bettors from getting wagers down on the winless Panthers.

Much like the game above, there is a major disparity in ticket percentage and handle based on sharp wagers. 30% of the betting tickets are on Georgia State, but a whopping 84% of the money sits with the Panthers.

Once again, our model projections see the Panthers as favorites, so there is an edge to be had there as well.

Sharp Action: Georgia State +2.5
