College Basketball Pick: Richmond vs. Vanderbilt

It may not be obvious by the line's movement since opening, but Vanderbilt has been the landing spot for big bets from sharps.

Sharp Action

An open-to-current line change of 5.5 to 6.5 would generally suggest sharp action to be on the favorite, but in this case that line move doesn't tell the whole story.

Getting 67% of bets, Richmond quickly became as much as a 7.5-point favorite in this matchup, and that's when the sharps struck.

Two Sports Insights Bet Signals were triggered on Vanderbilt at +7.5, indicating a pair of unique cases of sharp money hitting the underdog.

Sharp Action edge: Vanderbilt

Big Money

Also pointing to a sharp backing of Vandy, the Commodores' 33% backing has accounted for 48% of the actual money hitting this spread. That means they're drawing much bigger bets — the ones more likely to come from sharps.
