Thursday night at Rupp Arena, the public is hammering UCLA (-220), with 67% of the money pouring in on the Bruins against Utah State (+180). The spread sits at -5 (-110), but when the betting action leans heavily to one side, sharp bettors start asking: Is this too good to be true?
UCLA has the pedigree, but Utah State has the firepower to keep things close. The Bruins are the public’s pick, but March Madness loves an underdog story. Is this where the public gets burned, or does UCLA roll as expected?
Smart bettors know: When the action is lopsided, it’s time to take a second look. Where’s your money going?
