Game: Purdue at Iowa

Weather conditions: Flurries 34°F, Chance Precipitation. 30%, Wind from NW 18 mph
 
Where the line opened: Iowa -15

Where it stands now:  -18

Where the wise action is: Iowa (mostly at -15 1/2 and -16). Betting public is on the other side with 65 percent backing Purdue.
 
Over/under movement: Remains at 44. Sixty-six percent of our players are on the over.

Injuries: Purdue has all sorts of injury issues on the offensive line as Justin Pierce, Eric Hedstrom and Sean Sester all are questionable.

Game: Arizona at Oregon

Weather conditions: Partly Cloudy 57°F, Chance Precipitation. 0%, Wind from NNE 6 mph

Where the line opened: Oregon -3 1/2

Where it stands now:  -6

Where the wise action is: Oregon (mainly at -3 1/2 & -4). This will be one of the biggest decisions of the day for us, as a whopping 79 percent of our bettors are on the Ducks.

Over/under movement: 58 1/2 to 59. People usually expect high scoring games with Oregon, so that’s why I guess a staggering 81 percent are on over 59.

Game: SMU at UTEP

Weather conditions: Clear 52°F, Chance Precipitation. 0%, Wind from E 6 mph

Where the line opened: UTEP -9 

Where it stands now: -13

Where the wise action is: UTEP (mostly at -10 & -10 1/2). Squares and sharps see eye-to-eye on this one with bettors backing UTEP at an alarming 84 percent clip.

Over/under movement: 75 to 67 - a huge move on the total, as sharps kept playing it under until 68 1/2). Most of the action (54 percent) from our players is on OVER 67.

Injuries: Good and bad news for SMU. Good: QB BoLevi Mitchell is probable (shoulder). Bad: SMU's two leading receivers Emmanuel Sanders and Aldrick Robinson have been suspended the last two games of the season. The two wideouts account for 17 of SMU's 27 passing TDs.

Game: Troy at LSU

Where the line opened: LSU -19

Where it stands now: -16

Where the wise action is: Troy (+19 and +18 1/2 mainly). Our players are all over the favorite (78 percent backing LSU).

Over/under movement: 54 1/2 to 54. Players are actually leaning towards under 54 (56 percent).

Injuries: LSU QB Andrew Hatch is doubtful due to leg injury.
