Matchup: Houston at Mississippi State
Line moves: Houston opened as a three-point favorite, currently a 1.5-point underdog
What that means: The bookmakers saw Houston as the team with BCS potential, the sharps disagreed and put big money down on Miss. St. to prove it.
Bert says: "That is definitely coming from the sharp side, it's a steam play. My guys called me at home last night to let me know it had happened to us. We took a limit bet of $10,000 on Mississippi State and then we moved the number. The bubble has burst for Houston in the eyes of the wise guys, plus the Cougars are going to play an SEC team. That game they played against UTEP last week really changed people's opinions. We opened it just like everyone else around town and have tried to adjust, because college football has been good for sharp play this year, but sometimes you get a hit."
