Kentucky vs. Michigan State is a premier matchup with plenty of sharp action, yes, but Alabama vs. South Alabama has the same wise guys betting in troves.
The Action Network's proprietary tracking indicates that there's value on each of these two games' over/unders.
While the first matchup is Blueblood Central, the second one, uh, can't be described as such.
But sharp action on games of little magnitude is a benefit for you, the reader. With fewer eyeballs and bettors, the markets for these types of games tend to be far less efficient. So, there are more instances where the line isn't set at a fair price.
Tailing sharp bettors over the long run is assured to make you a profit. Sports betting's main short-term constraint, though, is variance. Make sure you're using the same unit sizing whenever you tail smart money.
