It's not often that the second-most heavily bet game on a Saturday college football slate can be considered under the radar, but not every weekend includes Alabama taking on LSU.
While all eyes are on Alabama-LSU, and rightfully so, professional bettors have quietly moved the line for another SEC showdown, Georgia at Kentucky (3:30 p.m. ET on CBS).
The Bulldogs opened as 10-point favorites at BookMaker, and the betting public has consistently played the road faves, with 75% of tickets and 72% of dollars wagered on the spread taking Georgia.
While recreational bettors are overwhelmingly backing the Dawgs to cover, sharps have steadily taken Kentucky and the points.
Sports Insights' Bet Signals — which track professional betting action in real time — have triggered five separate Reverse Line Moves on Kentucky, explaining why this line has dropped to Wildcats +8.5 at Pinnacle and +8 at BookMaker.
Reverse line movement refers to situations in which a line moves in the opposite direction of the public betting percentages. In this instance, Georgia is attracting the majority of bets, yet the line has moved toward Kentucky.
With just over 48 hours until kickoff, Georgia-Kentucky is setting up as a classic sharps vs. squares matchup.
