7 p.m. ET: South Florida (-2, 144.5) at Charlotte

South Florida (10-8) just snapped a two-game losing streak with a 63-56 win over Tulsa but failed to cover as 9.5-point home favorites. On the other hand, Charlotte (7-12) has lost seven straight games and just fell to Memphis 77-68 but managed to cover as 11.5-point home dogs.

This line opened with South Florida listed as a 1-point road favorite. Pros aren’t outsmarting themselves in this one. They’re laying the short chalk with Bulls and fading the reeling 49ers, steaming South Florida up from -1 to -2. At DraftKings, South Florida is receiving heavy one-way action from both Pros and Joes, as they are taking in roughly 70% of both spread bets and dollars.

Sharps have particularly targeted South Florida on the moneyline (-130). At DraftKings, South Florida is taking in 79% of moneyline bets and 88% of moneyline dollars, a “low bets, higher dollars” bet split in favor of the Bulls winning straight up. Taking the moneyline might be the smarter move here, as Ken Pom has South Florida winning by one point (73-72). He also has South Florida ranked much higher (171st vs 247th).

South Florida has the better offensive efficiency (146th vs 217th) and defensive efficiency (214th vs 277th). South Florida also has the far superior effective field goal percentage (54% vs 47%) and three-point shooting (34% vs 29%). The Bulls enjoy a one-day rest advantage, having last played on January 18th compared to the 49ers last playing on January 19th. South Florida is 3-2 in conference play. Charlotte is 0-6.

7 p.m. ET: Boston University at Navy (-1.5, 131.5)

Boston University (9-10) has dropped two of their last three games and just fell to Army 68-62, failing to cover as 2.5-point road dogs. Similarly, Navy (5-14) has lost four in a row and just came up short against Bucknell 73-69 but managed to cover as 4.5-point road dogs.

This line opened with Navy listed as a 1-point home favorite. Sharps have sided with Navy at home, driving the Midshipmen up from -1 to -1.5. This move is especially notable because this is an added/extra game (#306509-306510), which means it’s one of the least bet game of the day and the betting public can’t even find the matchup on their app. As a result, this obscure sharp move is most likely driven by wiseguys who has specifically targeted this unpopular matchup.

At DraftKings, Navy is taking in 62% of spread bets and 92% of spread dollars, a notable “low bets, higher dollars” sharp bet split. Those looking for added security in what might be a close game could also look at playing Navy on the moneyline at a relatively cheap -120 price. Ken Pom has Navy winning by one point (67-66).

Navy has the better offensive efficiency (241st vs 310th) and free-throw percentage (72% vs 63%). Navy also takes far better care of the ball, ranking 102nd in turnovers committed compared to 348th for Boston University. Navy is 4-4 at home this season. Boston University is 2-7 on the road.

9 p.m. ET: Florida State (-1.5, 152.5) at California

Florida State (13-5) has won four of their last five games and just took down Georgia Tech 91-78, covering as 9.5-point home favorites. Meanwhile, California (9-9) just snapped a two-game losing skid with a 65-62 win over NC State, winning outright as 6-point road dogs.

This line opened with Florida State listed as a 1-point road favorite. Sharps have pounced on the Seminoles laying short chalk, driving Florida State up from -1 to -1.5. Some shops are even approaching Seminoles -2.

At Circa, Florida State is only receiving 50% of spread bets but a whopping 83% of spread dollars, a massive “low bets, higher dollars” bet split and further evidence of the bigger, sharper wagers backing the road favorite. Those looking for some added security in what might be a close game could also target Florida State on the moneyline at -130.

Ken Pom has Florida State winning by three points (78-75). He also has the Seminoles ranked much higher than the Golden Bears (62nd vs 129th). Florida State has the far better defensive efficiency (50th vs 273rd). The Seminoles rank 37th in forced turnovers compared to 250th for the Golden Bears.
