Wednesday's college basketball betting market is hot!

Most might be tied up with Thanksgiving plans, so it's possible that a monster 52-game college basketball slate, including six games tipping at 12 p.m. ET or earlier, is flying under the radar on Wednesday.

It could also be that the majority of the earlier matchups aren't all that interesting, so casual bettors are fine punting on their college basketball bets until hitting the road or getting where they're going for the holiday later on.

However, one of the early games sticks out among the rest: Loyola Chicago vs. Michigan State.

This should be a fun matchup between two teams sitting just outside the AP Top 25, and according to the latest college basketball public betting data, it's BY FAR the most bet game (in terms of tickets) of the day thus far.

Professionals are also buzzing around this Loyola vs. Michigan State matchup, and if you're just now taking at look at Wednesday's college basketball odds board, you might have missed just how influential smart money has been in shaping this line.
