Check out Saturday's biggest line moves:
Maryland at Florida State
The Seminoles opened as 16.5-point favorites, but saw that number expand to 18 as of Friday night. And it’s easy to see why no one has faith in the Terrapins. Maryland is 2-7-1 ATS this season and is allowing more than 32 points per game. The Terrapins also are 4-10 ATS in their past 14 games against the Seminoles.
Florida International at Florida
The Gators already were slated to take a chomp out of the Golden Panthers, opening as 41-point favorites. But that number rocketed as high as 45 points with many books as bettors expect Florida to shred the visiting defense. Florida International is just 1-5 on the road this season and is allowing more than 33 points per game. This should be a tune up for the Gators.
Iowa State at Missouri
The Tigers opened as 13 point favorites, but saw that number balloon to 15.5 with many books later in the week as sharps were all over the Tigers. This is a curious move, as Missouri is 1-7 ATS in its past eight games against teams with a winning record and is a horrendous 1-3 ATS in its past four games against Iowa State. Missouri also will be without starting receiver Jare Perry.
Texas Christian at Wyoming
The Cowboys better cowboy up. Texas Christian started as a 28.5-point favorite, but saw that number rise as many as three points with some books, as bettors jumped all over the hottest team in the country coming off an absolute beat down of Utah. The Horned Frogs also are 3-0-1 in their past four meetings with the Cowboys.
UAB at East Carolina
The Blazers have won three straight, but no one believes in UAB’s defense, which allows 31.7 points per game. The Blazers opened as 10-point underdogs, but that number grew to 13 point during the week as the improving Pirates garnered a huge swath of the action. East Carolina is 3-1 ATS in its past four games overall and 3-1 ATS in its past four games against UAB.
Air Force at Brigham Young
The Cougars have dominated this series lately and it showed with the spread, as it opened at 7.5 points but grew to as many as 10 by Friday night. BYU has won the past five meetings and is 5-0 ATS during that span, winning by an average of 19 points. The Cougars also are scoring more than 35 points per game this season.
San Diego State at Utah
History says that the Aztecs have no chance in this meeting – and the line movement seems to agree. The Utes opened as 17-point favorites and that line has moved to as many as 20 as of Friday night. Utah is 5-1 ATS in its past six games against San Diego State, the Aztecs are allowing 30 points per game and are a horrid 3-7 ATS this season.
Kansas State at Nebraska
Not many bettors think that the Wildcats are back. Kansas State opened as a 14-point underdog and saw that number increase to as high as 17 with some books. The reason? Kansas State is 0-4 on the road this season and 0-3 ATS against the Cornhuskers the past three season. Over that span, the Wildcats have yielded an average of 50 points per game.
