Wiseguys have hammered the college football odds on Temple fading Penn State and we have seen this line go from 19 to the current number of 13.5<\/figcaption><\/figure>The college football betting lines page of our website\u00a0indicates significant movement from the time of the opening odds until now. Be sure to bookmark that page so you can track the moves as well as see the current point spreads for all of the games.\u00a0 Here are some of the biggest movers so far with analysis.<\/p>\n

Central Michigan (+6 \u00bd) at Northwestern<\/strong> \u2013 The home Wildcats opened as 10 point favorites, but the line has made its way down to 6 \u00bd with most books. The public has been playing Northwestern at a pretty good clip, currently around 2:1. But a lot of sharp money has pulled the line down to under a touchdown. Don\u2019t be surprised to see some buy back on this one.<\/p>\n

Michigan (-25 \u00bd) vs. Bowling Green<\/strong>\u2013 This line has already been bought back. The line opened with Michigan at 23 points, got steamed up to 27, and has come down to 25 \u00bd or 26 points. Bowling Green\u2019s starting quarterback, Matt Schilz is almost certainly out for the game with an AC joint sprain he suffered in the Falcon\u2019s 44-28 win over Marshall last week. That explains the initial spike, but 27 points seemed too high for sharps and squares, probably because of the way Michigan let UMASS hang around.<\/p>\n

Temple (+13 \u00bd) vs. Penn State<\/strong>\u2013 This line has seen a ton of steam. Penn State opened at 19 points, but the line has steadily come down. It\u2019s currently sitting at 13 \u00bd at many sites, though a couple are still at 14. The public had been hitting Temple really hard, but now the game is split about 50\/50. Don\u2019t be surprised to see sharp money buy this back to 14 \u00bd or 15 points. The Nittany Lions are getting good value at 13 \u00bd.<\/p>\n

Stanford (-4 \u00bd) at Notre Dame<\/strong>\u2013 The Cardinal opened as 2 \u00bd point road favorites, but this line has been steamed up to 4 \u00bd or 5 points, depending on the sportsbook. The squares have been all over Stanford, and are currently playing them at over 80%. Stanford beat the Irish in a shootout last year, 45-38. But now they have to travel to South Bend. This will be an interesting line to watch.<\/p>\n

Tennessee (-13 \u00bd) vs. UAB<\/strong> \u2013 Tennessee opened at 11 points, but the line has been continually pushed up, first to 12 \u00bd and now up to 13 \u00bd or 14 points. The squares and wiseguys\u00a0are moving this one, playing the Volunteers at over 95%. Tennessee has played some stiff competition (Oregon, Florida), but UAB is coming off a big, come-from-behind win over a decent Troy team. This line will probably go up at least another point.<\/p>\n

LSU (-9) vs. West Virginia<\/strong> \u2013 Don\u2019t forget about this game on Saturday night \u2013 should be a good one. The home Tigers opened at 6 \u00bd points, but sharps and squares have steamed the line up to 9 points, and a couple books are already at 9 \u00bd. The public is playing LSU at better than 3:1. The Tigers have been solid, but the Mountaineers may have hit their stride against Maryland last week. Depending upon how high the line goes, there might be some buy back on this game.<\/p>\n

UTEP (-11 \u00bd) vs. Memphis<\/strong>\u2013 The Miners opened at 7 points, but the line has been steamed up to 11 \u00bd. The squares have been killing the Miners, still playing them at over 95% after the wiseguys bet the piss out of UTEP. The El Paso Times writes that Donald Buckram will probably play on Saturday after missing the team\u2019s first 3 games. But Buckram was expected to be back against Houston, then New Mexico State, and now Memphis. It\u2019s hard to say if he\u2019ll play, but if he is back and his knee isn\u2019t bothering him, look out. The Miners want revenge after losing to Memphis last year, 35-20.<\/p>\n

Florida Atlantic (-10) vs. North Texas<\/strong> \u2013 More steam with this line. The Owls opened at just 4 points, but heavy money from sharps and squares has spiked the line. It has gone up to 10 \u00bd, and then some buy back brought it down to 9, and now it\u2019s hovering between 9 \u00bd and 10 points. Don\u2019t be surprised to see this line go even higher. The public is still playing Florida Atlantic at over 95%. The Owls are coming off a bye, while the Mean Green got waxed by Army, 24-0 and are down to their 3rd string QB and have other\u00a0multiple injuries to starters.<\/p>\n
