7 p.m. ET: Prairie View at Florida A&M (-3, 147.5)

Prairie View (9-14) has dropped five of their last six and just came up short against Bethune Cookman 82-76 but managed to cover as 11-point road dogs. Similarly, Florida A&M (8-13) has lost four straight and just fell to Texas Southern 62-57, losing outright as 2-point home favorites.

This line opened with Florida A&M listed as a 2.5-point home favorite.

Sharps have pounced on Florida A&M, pushing the Rattlers up from -2.5 to -3, with some shops even reaching as high as -3.5.

At DraftKings, Florida A&M is receiving 67% of spread bets and 65% of spread dollars. At Circa, Florida A&M is taking in 50% of spread bets and over 90% of spread dollars, further evidence of wiseguy money out in Vegas backing the short home chalk.

This line move and bet split in especially important considering this is a 6-digit added/extra game (#306513-306514). In other words, it’s a tiny, overlooked game that the public has no interest in. However, based on the market movement we can infer that pros have taken an interest in this low bet matchup and sided with the Rattlers.

Ken Pom has Florida A&M winning by two points (75-73).

With this in mind, bettors looking to gain some added cushion may prefer a Rattlers moneyline play at -160.

Florida A&M has the better effective field goal percentage (292nd vs 333rd), offensive rebound percentage (237th vs 339th), three-point shooting (265th vs 292nd) and defensive efficiency (250th vs 297th).

Florida A&M is 5-3 at home this season. Prairie View is 1-11 on the road.

8 p.m. ET: Belmont (-2.5, 154.5) at Bradley

Belmont (22-3) has won nine in a row and just held off Illinois Chicago 68-62, covering as 2.5-point road favorites. Meanwhile, Bradley (16-9) just saw their two-game win streak come to an end, falling to Northern Illinois 61-49 and failing to cover as 3.5-point road dogs.

This line opened with Belmont listed as low as a 1.5-point road favorite.

Sharps have jumped on Belmont laying short points, pushing Belmont up from -1.5 to -2.5. Most of the market is juicing up Belmont -2.5 (-115) with a few other books touching -3 or even -3.5. In other words, all movement and liability has been in favor of the road chalk Bruins.

At DraftKings, Belmont is taking in 77% of spread bets and 88% of spread dollars, a one-way “low bets, higher dollars” Pro and Joe bet discrepancy in favor of the Bruins.

Ken Pom has Belmont winning by four points (80-76). He also has Belmont ranked much higher (58th vs 143rd).

Those looking to going some added protection in the event of a close game may prefer a Bruins moneyline play at -155.

At DraftKings, Belmont is receiving 83% of moneyline bets and 85% of moneyline dollars, evidence of heavy Pro and Joe action siding with the Bruins to earn a straight up victory.

Short road favorites -4 or less with at least a half point of line movement in their favor are 87-48 (64%) straight up with an 11% ROI this season.

Belmont has the better offensive efficiency (49th vs 138th), defensive efficiency (122nd vs 156th), effective field goal percentage (1st vs 208th), three-point shooting (3rd vs 76th) and hold their opponents to a better effective field goal percentage (59th vs 243rd).

9 p.m. ET: Arizona (-1.5, 153.5) at Kansas

Arizona (23-0, ranked 1st) just dominated Oklahoma State 84-47, easily covering as 20.5-point home favorites. On the other hand, Kansas (18-5, ranked 11th) has won seven straight and just took down Utah 71-59 but failed to cover as 18.5-point home favorites.

This line opened with Arizona listed as a 2.5-point road favorite.

The public can’t believe this line is so short and 72% of spread bets are rushing to the window to lay the points with the undefeated, top-ranked Wildcats.

However, despite receiving such lopsided support we’ve seen Arizona fall from -2.5 to -1.5.

Why would oddsmakers drop the line to make it easier for the public to cover when they’re already hammering Arizona to begin with? Because respected smart money has sided with Kansas plus the points, triggering sharp reverse line movement in favor of the unpopular home dog.

Kansas is the top “bet against the public” play of the day as the Jayhawks are only receiving 28% of spread bets in the most heavily bet, nationally televised primetime game on ESPN.

At Circa, Kansas is receiving 28% of spread bets and 49% of spread dollars, a “low bets, higher dollars” bet discrepancy from the wiseguys out in Vegas.

Kansas has the better free-throw percentage (67th vs 151st) and does a better job of limiting turnovers on offense (58th vs 101st).
