This game is a perfect example of why betting splits should not be used to help you decide bets. 

This game opened Syracuse -6.5
It’s now -18.5.

88% of the money is NOT on Syracuse -18.5. 

88% of the money is on Syracuse, and it’s anybody’s guess where between -6.5 and -18.5 the majority of that money was bet. 

You are getting the worst of the spread on Syracuse right now. 

Maybe they cover 18.5, maybe they don’t. 

But you are not tailing a sharp side at -18.5 because “88% of the money is on Syracuse” 

Sharp would have been betting Syracuse well before right now.
