It’s a matchup of 3-1 teams against the spread — but one’s clearly favored by expert insights in PRO Report.
Shifting focus to our pick, PRO resources strongly suggest taking USF with the points.
PRO Projections indicate this spread should actually be closer to USF +3.7. This 1.8-point discrepancy signals a significant value edge for bettors prepared to back the Bulls.
The weight of sharp action further bolsters this position with tracked, professional bets landing on USF.
Adding to the intrigue, the “Big Money” signal backs up the sharp sentiment, revealing that USF is drawing 75% of the total money wagered despite receiving only 47% of the betting tickets.
This disproportionate flow of cash underscores a divergence between recreational and professional bettors, highlighting substantial confidence from the latter group in USF’s ability to cover the spread despite off their first loss of the year.
Pick: USF +4.5
