The Colts +5 are the most wagered on side Saturday.  Action was around 60/40 going the Colts way most books.

While a handful of books were holding at +5.5, most were on the +5, an indication that they are attempting to balance this action out.  We don't see any opinion on this game.

The Cowboys-Rams game, to be played later this evening, was seeing mostly balanced action. 

Moving on to College Basketball, Gambling911.com had another win with its pick on the Boilermakers, not just a cover but an outright victory over favored Wisconsin.  That's digging us further out of a deep early hole.

Virginia is the most bet on side in College Basketball at -5.5 versus Clemson.  They were seeing 67% of the action. 

We have studied the line move here from -6.5 to -5, going sharply against the action. 

Sagarin indicated a line of -7 for UVA so we are a bit reluctant to offer a pick on this game.

Duke is the next most bet on side at -7.5 playing at Florida State.  70% of the spread action was going towards the Blue Devils.  We would expect to see the spread getting larger as a result. 

This is occurring at some of the recreational books, not so much at the sharper shops.  BetOnline we've seen the line drop from -8 to -7.

But this one is not convincing enough as too many books were still at -7.5 just hours before tipoff and Sagarin indicates a line that should be Duke -9.

No edges and no picks from Gambling911.com this day, at least not yet.
