Dramatic shift in betting line for Kentucky-Mizzou game
The Kentucky-Missouri game has seen a dramatic line shift as the pro’s and the Average Joe’s are divided on bets.
Kentucky opened as a 6-point favorite over Mizzou. At BetMGM in Nevada, the number of bets on UK outnumbers bets on Mizzou 2/1. Sharps, however, are hammering MU as the underdog. The amount of money bet is 5/1 in Mizzou’s favor at BetMGM Nevada and the line has dropped from Kentucky -6 to -3.5.
Bill Connelly of ESPN’s SP+ is known for being better than 50 percent for picks against the spread. Through last Saturday, SP+ was at 54 percent ATS in 2020. This week, Connelly shared a projected Wildcats 26-22 win. At the time, the line was still -5.5.
Per @BetMGM NV’s @scottatmirage on KY-MIZZOU: Kentucky from -6 to -3.5. “Sharp play on Missouri. Ticket count 2/1 Kentucky, but all the money is on Missouri, 5/1.” @Covers
