The first big over/under move in the Week 0 ACC clash between Florida State and Georgia Tech was significant.
PRO tracked smart money on Seminoles vs. Yellow Jackets landing on over 55, enough to warrant an adjustment up to 55.5 in some places.
This is extremely key because 55 is an important number when betting college football. Frequent final score outcomes (31-24, 28-27, 34-21, 38-17, etc.) fall on 55, so landing on the right side is crucial.
Scanning odds at the time of writing, some sportsbooks are still hanging a Florida State vs. Georgia Tech over/under of 55, including DraftKings and BetRivers.

SMU was unconventionally a better “under” team last year, and Nevada split its 12 totals down the middle.
The sharp-action signal is again in favor of a higher-scoring game, as we’ve logged smart bets dropping on the Mustangs vs. Wolf Pack over the total of 57.
There was no steam movement but enough respected action for our key PRO signal to flare.
