Moving Today's Market.     

On the NCAA Gridiron, we get an early week MAC face-off between a pair of teams in the middle of the pack. The games drawing a bit of action despite the plethora of choices in the NBA, NHL and College Basketball. The Northern Illinois Huskies are coming off back-to-back defeats at the hands of the MAC elite, Ball State and Central Michigan.

At Pinnacle, NIU opened as four-point favorites over the Kent State Golden Flashes. The public is strongly behind the Huskies, as they are receiving 70% of spread bets and 65 percent of parlay bets. Despite that backing the line has dropped to NIU -3.

The movement triggered multiple Smart Money plays on Kent State, including one by BetJamaica (40-30, +6.25 units).

On the professional front, there is some interesting movement on tonight's Cleveland-New Jersey match up. LeBron James and the Cavs opened as six-point favorites at Pinnacle. The public loves King James, and the Cavs are drawing 72 percent of spread bets and 76 percent of parlay bets. The line has roller coastered between Cleveland -6 and -5 at most sportsbooks monitored by Sports Insights.

The combinations of movement and betting percentages has triggered multiple Smart Money plays on the Nets, including one at BetOnline (20-9-1, +9 units).
