This line opened with Campbell listed as a 2.5-point road favorite. Wiseguys have quietly sided with Campbell, as the Fighting Camels have been juiced up -2.5 (-115) and some shops have even risen to -3. At DraftKings, Campbell is receiving 63% of spread bets and 81% of spread dollars, a sharp “low bets, higher dollars” bet split. This split is especially meaningful because this is one of the lowest bet and least popular games of the night, which means sharps have specifically targeted the Fighting Camels.
