The Texas Longhorns take on the Arizona State Sun Devils on Wednesday in the Peach Bowl, which is a College Football Playoff quarterfinal match up. And everyone and their mother seems to be betting heavily on the Texas Longhorns.

But according to BetMGM, there is plenty of “sharp” money on the Sun Devils. Here’s a note from Brian Davis on X, sharing that Texas is getting more bets than any team in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals. But the line hasn’t really budged from its opening number of 12.5 points.

 

So if Texas i the most-bet side at BetMGM, but the line has held steady at 12.5 points, that means that there must be some massive bets coming in on Arizona State, i.e. the “sharp” money, to keep the line where it’s basically been since it opened.
