Sports Marketwatch – NCAA Week 9

Recapping Week 8

Last week was an ugly one for Marketwatch with Utah State getting hammered by Hawaii, 45-7. The Aggies had no answer for the Warriors’ offense, which racked up an astounding 605 total yards.

Overall Record = 10-10 (50%)

The goal of this weekly column is to highlight games that offer true “line value.” Often, if a line looks too go to be true, there is a reason. You’ll occasionally need the worst teams on the board to come through. We typically buy on bad news and sell on good.

NCAA Sports Marketwatch Week 9 – Game to Watch

Florida State vs. NC State (10/28 – 7:45 p.m. ET)

After getting pounded by Oklahoma, Florida State has rebounded with five straight victories, including a 45-17 destruction of rival Miami.

Their opponent, NC State, jumped out to a 4-0 record this season, however, the Wolfpack’s fast start has begun to lose momentum. Since the beginning of October, NC State is 1-2, including a 33-27 overtime loss to East Carolina in their last game.

Florida State opened as a 3.5-point favorite at CRIS and, even though the Seminoles are currently receiving 66% of spread wagers, the line has stayed relatively stable throughout the sports marketplace. Even with the lack of significant line movement, the Betting Trends data suggests sharp money is coming down on NC State. Sports Insights’ Betting Systemsconcur, triggering one positive Smart Money Play and three positive Steam Moves, including one at Legendz (+8.4 units), on NC State.

At the time of publication, the majority of sportsbooks are offering NC State at +3.5, but three have moved to a full 4. Do some line shopping, follow the sharp money and take NC State and the points.

NC State +4
