Biggest Line Movers of Week 1 College Football
Steam Games or Weak Lines?
Below we’ll isolate a few of school soccer of the line moves in Week 1, focusing on FBS matchups. Let’s try to ascertain whether the school football odds on such games are moving since the wise guys”know something” or because it was a lousy line to start with and has been manipulated by the sharps.
We have identified three line changes since the steam is blowing in that direction and it’s up to you to determine whether to grab the group with increased value, or go the other way and choose a number. Without further ado, let’s go!
South Alabama vs Nebraska (Saturday, August 31st, 12:00 PM ET)
The Cornhuskers started as a whopping 32-point house favorite against the South Alabama Jaguars, however that number has shrunk to as large as 36 1/2 at a number of the best sportsbooks.
Nebraska attracted a whole lot of attention after finishing strong last year by winning four of their last six contests, including a good victory over Michigan State. Much is expected of this Huskers and next year coach Scott Frost, as his team is ranked 24th year to begin the season.
A lot of this hype has delivered this line as by stomping a tin can like South Alabama Nebraska will seem to prove worthy of their charging, spiraling upward.
South Carolina vs North Carolina (Saturday, August 31st, 3:30 PM ET)
As 7 1/2 stage favorites started but that number has spiked to as high as 11 in lots of the books. First and foremost, this game is not being played at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill but in a Website, the Bank of America Stadium.
Just because a team is right of this”vs” doesn’t always mean they are at home and oftentimes it takes the people a few days to figure out that. In addition, this competition has been possessed by South Carolina moving 6-1 ATS in their last seven neutral site games, as well as winning six of their past seven meetings against the Tar Heels.
This record is in stark contrast to the 1-5 ATS mark in affairs of North Carolina. The sharps obtained a whiff of this Heels 0-4 ATS record over their past four games from August so it’s little wonder the’Cocks are currently becoming heavy play here.
Duke vs Alabama (Saturday, August 31st, 3:30 PM ET)
Expectations for the team of Nick Saban are constantly through the roof and this year is the same. The Crimson Tide embarks on what should be another championship voyage this year and the first casualty will be the Duke Blue Devils.
The oddsmakers know the hype train which follows Tide football that’s why they conquered Temple from the Independence Bowl and set up them final year since a 30-point home favorite from a group in Duke that went 8-5.
Sure, Duke was no competition, nor will they be this year, but becoming a bowl game and winning it has to account for something, right? Well, not in the squares that never watched a number large enough to keep them from getting back on the Tide’s world.
As of the writing, Alabama is now a 33 1/2 stage favorite regardless of the fact that their celebrity linebacker injured his knee and will probably be out for the year. The reduction of this Tide captain didn’t make a whit of difference to the public, who will throw their money into the fire!
