NCAAF
7 p.m. ET: UCLA at Cincinnati
This prime-time showdown is currently the most heavily bet college football game of the night. Cincinnati beat UCLA 26-17 in last year's season opener and finished an impressive 11-2 on the year. The Bearcats opened as 4-point home favorites against Chip Kelly's Bruins, who finished last season a disappointing 3-9. Despite the tickets being relatively split, we've seen this line fall to -2.5 or even -2 at some books. This is a clear indication that wiseguys are backing the Bruins and causing sharp reverse line movement in their favor. Since 2005, short road dogs (+4 or less) like UCLA have gone 54.4% ATS (+73.81 units) according to Bet Labs sports. We've also seen smart money target the under, as the total has fallen from 60 to 58.

8 p.m. ET: Georgia Tech at Clemson (1)
The defending champion Clemson Tigers are the top ranked team in the country and currently a +180 favorite to repeat as FBS Champions. Their win total is 11.5 (over -135, under +115), highest in the nation. Star quarterback Trevor Lawrence is a +280 favorite to win the Heisman. Georgia Tech lost to Clemson 49-21 last year and finished 7-6 on the season. Now they must acclimate to new Head Coach Geoff Collins. Clemson opened as a massive 34-point favorite and we've seen the line rise to -37. While Clemson in a blowout seems like an obvious play, there is a reason to buy low on the Yellow Jackets. Since 2005, underdogs of 30+ points in Week 1 who see the line move further away from them have gone 88-60 ATS (59.5%). Essentially you are taking advantage of being gifted extra points caused by public betting (Georgia Tech +34 to +37). The total has ticked up slightly from 59.5 to 60.5.

8:30 p.m. ET: Texas State at Texas A&M (12)
Texas A&M went 9-4 last year in Jimbo Fisher's first year as head coach. Meanwhile, small school Texas State went just 3-9. Hammer the Aggies, right? This line opened with A&M listed as huge 35-point favorites. Despite receiving massive public support, we've seen the line fall to -33. Why would bookmakers drop the spread to make it easier for Average Joes to cover with the Aggies? Because sharps got down hard on Texas State, forcing a 2-point adjustment in their favor. One x-factor here: new Texas State Head Coach Jake Spavital was the former offensive coordinator at A&M, so he knows the opponent well. We've also seen smart money target the under (58 to 57). Winds up to 10 MPH are expected at Kyle Field, which make it harder to kick and throw the ball, leading to more running which chews up the clock and benefits the under.

10:15 p.m. ET: Utah (14) at BYU
Casual bettors bet largely based on bias, gut instinct and rankings. If a ranked team goes against an unranked team, hammer the ranked team. But sportsbooks know this and will shade the lines toward the popular side, creating added contrarian value to buy low on the unranked team. This late night showdown is a perfect example. Utah opened as a six-point road favorite. Sharps hit BYU plus the points early, dropping the line down to 5.5. The number then ballooned back to Utah -7 thanks to heavy public betting. That's when wiseguys doubled down on BYU and crushed the home dog at the key number of +7. The line has since settled back at 6.5. BYU also has excellent contrarian value, getting only about one-third of bets as a home dog in a heavily bet game. The total has dropped slightly from 48.5 to 48.

NFL
7 p.m. ET: Philadelphia Eagles (1-2) at New York Jets (1-2)
Both teams enter their final preseason game with 1-2 records. The Eagles have Super Bowl aspirations (+1300) and this game doesn't mean much to them. They know who they are. Meanwhile, the young Jets are trying to build around Sam Darnold and get some momentum going into Week 1. New York opened as 3-point home favorites and sharps quickly got down on the Jets, moving them to -4. Pro money also came down on the over. We've seen a massive jump with the total rising from 32 to 35 since opening.

7 p.m. ET: Indianapolis Colts (0-3) at Cincinnati Bengals (1-2)
The public is down on the Colts. They've gone winless in the preseason and now they've lost franchise quarterback Andrew Luck to retirement. Fine by the the sharps. They love selling on good news and buying on bad news in order to extract maximum value. This line opened at Bengals -4. Casual bettors are loading up on Cincinnati, yet we've seen the line fall to -3. This signals smart money grabbing the Colts, creating market-wide reverse line movement in their favor. The total hasn't moved off the opener of 33.5.

7:30 p.m. ET: New York Giants (3-0) at New England Patriots (3-0)
Both teams are looking to finish the preseason undefeated. New England opened as a short 2.5-point home favorite. Early smart money hit the Giants, causing the line to fall to -1.5. That's when big Patriots buyback hit the market, pushing the line back up to Pats -3. The Patriots defense has looked stellar this preseason, allowing only 23 points in three games. On the flip side, rookie quarterback Daniel Jones and the Giants have scored 88 points through three games. As a result, the public doesn't know which way to go with the total. But pros have taken a clear position on the over. It's risen from 33.5 to 35.

8 p.m. ET: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-1) at Dallas Cowboys (2-1)
Despite still missing star running Ezekiel Elliott to a holdout, the Cowboys remain a legitimate postseason threat (win total 9, +100 to make the playoffs, +175 to win NFC East, +1800 to win the Super Bowl). The Bucs are not (win total 6.5 with -115 juice on the under). Dallas opened as a 3-point home favorite and pro bettors seem to expect an easy cover for the Boys as smart money has pushed the line all the way to Dallas -5. The total hasn't moved off the opener of 33.5.
