The Holiday Bowl between Oregon and UNC has sharp, big moneyed and expert bettors all targeting one side of the spread.

The Action Network's proprietary PRO tracking data has indicated a disproportionate number of big moneyed wagers on this particular side of the spread.

In addition, one of our premier college football handicappers is also on the same pick.

It's rare to see these three prongs of symbiosis on one line — especially for a heavily liquid bowl game.

We don't recommend using these tools as an alternative to investing — variance is much less forgiving in sports gambling compared to the financial markets — but similar principles apply in regard to profits over a long-time horizon.

Oregon vs. UNC: Sharp, Big Money, Expert Pick on Spread

Sharp and big moneyed bettors are rolling with Oregon's spread on Wednesday night.

While 59% of the retail money is on Oregon to cover at a market consensus of roughly -13.5, about 95% of the money is. That 36% discrepancy indicates a substantial amount of big moneyed wagers have been placed on the Ducks to cover tonight.

Our premier college football expert is also targeting Oregon at around that price.

Keep in mind our tracking data shows that many whales put their money down close to open, when the Ducks were favored by just 9.5 points. That line has deteriorated on account of sharp action.

The best price on the market for Oregon's spread is with FanDuel at -13.5 (-105).
