Michigan State at Wisconsin odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Michigan State at Wisconsin odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Michigan State Spartans (11-4, 3-1 Big Ten) take on the No. 18 Wisconsin Badgers (11-3, 3-1) at the Kohler Center on Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Michigan State vs. Wisconsin odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Wisconsin comes in after losing 79-69 to Illinois on Saturday as a 7.5-point underdog. This was the Badgers 1st loss since falling 78-75 to Wake Forest on Nov. 29. The Badgers have been a strong team this season and unlike past years, these Badgers can score as 8 of 14 games have gone over the total.

Michigan State has played a difficult schedule and held its own this season. The Spartans come in on a 6-game winning streak after beating Michigan 59-52 on Saturday as a 3.5-point favorite. MSU last loss 70-63 to Northwestern on Dec. 4.

Defense will be the story of this game as the Spartans come in allowing just 64.9 points while Wisconsin is even better allowing only 62.4 points.

Michigan State at Wisconsin picks and predictions

Prediction

Wisconsin 63, Michigan State 58

Moneyline

WISCONSIN +100 is a wonderful way to play this game.

Both teams are good and have been playing well of late. Wisconsin, coming off its 1st loss since November and being at home will look to get back on track against a Spartans team that struggled in its prior outing.

Against the spread

PASS. No wager is the play here. Taking Wisconsin on the Moneyline, I will not double down on the spread as well.

Over/Under

UNDER 126.5 (-110) will be the winning play.

The Spartans only allow 64.9 points per game while Wisconsin ranks 35th in the nation allowing just 62.5 Neither of these offenses are overly reliable as well with both teams averaging less then 71 points per contest. This will be a defense-1st game and the Under is the way to go.

Air Force at Colorado State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Air Force at Colorado State odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Air Force Falcons (9-7, 0-3 MWC) make the in-state visit to the Colorado State Rams (9-8, 1-3) Tuesday. The opening tip at Moby Arena in Fort Collins will be at 9 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Air Force vs. Colorado State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Air Force is 0-3 straight up (SU) and 1-2 against the spread (ATS) since Dec. 28. The Falcons have not played since Jan. 3 when they lost 77-65 to the visiting Utah State, failing to cover as 7.5-point underdogs. USAFA is a slow-tempo, defensive-minded squad; the 77 points marked the most they have allowed this season.

The Rams covered as 6.5-point favorites when they downed Fresno State 79-57 Saturday. The win snapped a 4-game losing streak (SU and ATS), and Colorado State’s 79 points marked its most in a single game against an NCAA-I foe since Dec. 3.

Air Force at Colorado State picks and predictions

Prediction

Colorado State 66, Air Force 61

Moneyline

Peg the true odds as being lost between these prices. PASS

Against the spread

This Centennial State matchup split a pair of games ATS last season with each side winning handily.

Colorado State can be quite inconsistent. In a slow-tempo game with a likable Under, anything past CSU -7 gets too risky. PASS.

Over/Under

The Under has hit in 4 straight and 6 of the last 7 meetings in this series. The Under is 12-3 in the Falcons’ last 15 road games against teams over .500 at home (CSU is 6-2 at home).

These teams play games that are typically 3-point heavy, but there are not a lot of other factors that figure to spiral this total. Look for pace to dominate the total — this figures to be a slow-tempo affair. Air Force is in the slowest 10% of teams, and the Rams are slower-than-average overall and have been operating with a slow-down trend over recent games.

BACK THE UNDER 133.5 (-115).

Cavaliers at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 118, Jazz 111

Moneyline

PASS on the moneyline.

Taking the Cavaliers (-150) straight up isn’t advised at the current odds, but I’d be fine taking them win in a parlay.

Against the spread

CAVALIERS -3.5 (-105) is where I’m leaning in this game despite the trends going against this pick. The Jazz have struggled to win games recently and are 3-5 ATS in their last 8 games.

Over/Under

With G Donovan Mitchell making his return to Utah, OVER 226.5 (-112) is an intriguing wager. Both of these teams are top 10 in offensive rating and it will be a massive pace-up game for the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers have gone Over in 5 of their last 6 games following a win and the Jazz are 5-1 to the Over in their last 6 games overall.

Analyzing Tuesday’s Detroit Pistons at Philadelphia 76ers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Detroit Pistons (11-32) and Philadelphia 76ers (24-15) meet Tuesday at Wells Fargo Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Pistons vs. 76ers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

These teams met Sunday as the 76ers covered the spread as 6-point favorites 123-111 at Detroit. Philadelphia G James Harden had a triple-double with 20 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists as the 76ers improved to 4-1 in their last 5 games. G Killian Hayes scored a game-high 26 points for Detroit, which played without its starting C Jalen Duren (ankle).

The Pistons are 5-1 against the spread (ATS) in their last 6 games following a double-digit loss at home in their previous game.

Philadelphia is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings with Detroit.

Pistons at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 120, Pistons 111

Moneyline

PASS.

The 76ers (-700) should win, but their ML is too expensive. Bet the spread or total instead.

Against the spread

BET PISTONS +11.5 (-105).

Detroit bounces back well after getting embarrassed at home and Philadelphia may not be motivated to win by margin after cruising to an easy victory Sunday. An extra-focused Pistons team should be able to lose by single digits after underperforming in the last meeting.

Over/Under

BET OVER 227.5 (-110).

The 76ers have been 1 of the worst teams on defense lately. Philadelphia is bottom-5 in defensive efficiency over the last 3 games and the Over is 4-0 in the 76ers’ last 4 games. Detroit has been a top-10 team in shooting percentage (48.9%) over the last 3 games and should help the Over hit vs. an uninspired 76ers defense.

Vanderbilt at Tennessee odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Vanderbilt at Tennessee odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Vanderbilt Commodores (8-7, 1-1 SEC) face the No. 5 Tennessee Volunteers (13-2, 3-0) Tuesday at Thompson-Boling Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET (SEC Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Vanderbilt vs. Tennessee odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

The Commodores lost 85-82 to Missouri Saturday but covered as 8-point road underdogs. The loss snapped a 3-game win streak.

The Volunteers handily defeated South Carolina 85-42 Saturday to cover as 16.5-point favorites on the road. Tennessee is amid a 4-game win streak and has won 9 of its last 10 games.

Vanderbilt at Tennessee picks and predictions

Prediction

Tennessee 74, Vanderbilt 60

Moneyline

There is absolutely no value on Tennessee (-1800) as a straight wager or in a parlay. AVOID.

Against the spread

Despite Tennessee being the much better team in this game, VANDERBILT +17.5 (-110) should be the correct choice. While the Commodores haven’t faced a team like the Volunteers this season, their last 4 losses were by a combined 14 points.

The road team is 16-5-1 ATS in the last 22 overall meetings between Vanderbilt and Tennessee and the underdog is 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 meetings.

Over/Under

OVER 133.5 (-105) is an intriguing bet in this contest with the Volunteers capable of scoring a decent number of points themselves. Tennessee averages 75.4 points per game while Vanderbilt averages 71.6 points per game.

The Commodores have gone Over in 9 of their last 10 road games against a team with a winning home record and the Volunteers are 5-2 to the Over in their last 7 home games against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400.

Seton Hall at Georgetown odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Seton Hall at Georgetown odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Seton Hall Pirates (9-8, 2-4 Big East) and Georgetown Hoyas (5-12, 0-6) clash Tuesday night at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. Start time is slated for 8:30 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Seton Hall vs. Georgetown odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Seton Hall — winners of 3 in a row over Georgetown — heads into this contest off a monster 76-51 win over Butler Saturday, covering as a 4-point favorite. The Pirates outshot the Bulldogs 52.7% to 26.8%. Their defense ranks well in several defensive analytic measures as they’ve held foes under 30% four times this season.

The Hoyas are 0-25 in Big East play over the past 2 seasons. This year’s squad has lost 7 straight games and 9 of its last 10 (2-8 against the spread). Three-point shooting has been a particular issue in the 7-game skid. Georgetown is 30.6% from distance over that span.

Seton Hall at Georgetown picks and predictions

Prediction

Seton Hall 77, Georgetown 67

Moneyline

There is no value on Seton Hall (-425) as you would need to wager more than 4 times your potential return. PASS.

Against the spread

The road team in this series has won 4 in a row ATS.

Georgetown and Seton Hall had a couple of close games last year — amid the Hoyas going 0-19 in the Big East — so expect coach Shaheen Holloway to have his team’s attention in this midweek road clash.

The Pirates have played an exceptionally tough slate and figure to be underrated by their won-loss record and surface stats.

TAKE SETON HALL -8.5 (-115).

Over/Under

There is some Under lean to Georgetown and some Over lean to the Pirates. Split the difference and walk on by. PASS.

Toledo at Kent State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Toledo at Kent State odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Toledo Rockets (10-5, 1-1 MAC) visit the Kent State Golden Flashes (12-3, 2-0) for some Tuesday night Mid-American Conference action. The opening tip at the M.A.C. Center will be at 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Toledo vs. Kent State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rabbit-tempo Toledo has scored over 100 in each of its last 2 victories. The most recent of those wins was Friday over Western Michigan (102-74). UT shot 52.4% from the field and covered as a 15.5-point favorite in the victory. The Rockets have shot a robust 53.3% over their last 4 games.

Kent State has won 6 in a row straight up but has lost 3 in a row against the spread. KSU owns the stingiest defense in the MAC with 61.9 points allowed per game. The Flashes do well to create turnovers and defend the perimeter, and their senior guards key those efforts while providing the bulk of the team’s scoring.

Toledo at Kent State picks and predictions

Prediction

Kent State 80, Toledo 76

Moneyline

The moneyline was OTB at the time of publication.

Against the spread

Kent State has won 3 straight, and 7 of its last 8, meetings with the Rockets. However, this recent vintage of KSU hoops — the last few weeks — has yielded some sideways analytics and confounding results. In a lot of ways, the Flashes have won 6 in a row while playing their worst ball of the season.

Kent State does have a good defense, but it also has not played a slew of talented offensive teams. Toledo is legitimately solid on that side of the ball.

Would have perhaps hoped for a Toledo +6 here, but this one is likely best left alone. PASS.

Over/Under

Toledo’s last 4 lined games have hit the Over. The Over is also 12-1 in their last 13 outings overall and 11-1 in their last 12 on the road. The Over is also 3-0-1 in KSU’s last 4 home games.

Look for Toledo to get more looks in the paint than Kent is accustomed to yielding, and the pace figures to be top-quartile.

BACK THE OVER 153.5 (-110).

Buffalo at Miami (Ohio) odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Buffalo at Miami odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Buffalo Bulls (8-7, 2-0 MAC) visit the Miami (Ohio) Redhawks (6-9, 0-2) for a Mid-American Conference tussle in Oxford, Ohio. The opening tip at Millett Hall will be at 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Buffalo vs. Miami (Ohio) odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Buffalo enters having won back-to-back games straight up and against the spread. The Bulls are 3-1 since Dec. 21 and are a balanced, up-tempo group that has come along defensively of late. UB has held foes under 40% from the floor 3 times in that 4 game span.

Miami went 4-2 from Nov. 26-Dec. 17, but the Redhawks are just 1-3 since. MU has experienced shooting woes and trouble with turnovers in recent losses. Across their last 2 games — both losses — the Redhawks shot just 38.1% while committing 16.5 turnovers per game.

Buffalo at Miami (Ohio) picks and predictions

Prediction

Buffalo 78, Miami 73

Moneyline

The moneyline was OTB at the time of publishing.

Against the spread

The Bulls are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall, and they are the slight lean Tuesday. Buffalo has played a much tougher schedule so far, it is a young team that has been rebounding the ball better and it’s hitting more triples of late.

Miami is coming off an impressive performance against Kent State (69-66 loss as an 11-point underdog Saturday), but that performance sticks out as an aberration. MU looks like a young team struggling on defense.

BET BUFFALO -3.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Miami is 4-3 O/U at home. The Under is 4-0 in the Bulls’ last 4 road games against teams with losing home records.

The pace numbers for both teams have been on the decline of late.

Dallas Stars at New York Islanders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Dallas Stars at New York Islanders odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Dallas Stars (24-11-6) face the New York Islanders (22-17-2) Tuesday at UBS Arena. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Stars vs. Islanders odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Stars have won 3 in a row on home ice, winning by an average of 3.0 goals per game. Total bettors have also loved the Stars lately, as the Under is 5-1-1 in the past 7 games overall and 10-3-1 across their past 14 outings.

The Islanders were swept on an Alberta road swing, losing 4-2 to the Edmonton Oilers Thursday and 4-1 to the Calgary Flames Friday. The Under has cashed in 4 of the past 5 games overall for the Isles.

The STARS (-115) are worth playing as slight road favorites despite the fact Dallas is just 2-6 in the past 8 trips to Long Island.

The Stars are 5-1 in the past 6 games against Eastern Conference teams while going 5-2 in the past 7 against Metropolitan Division teams.

The Islanders are just 1-4 in the past 5 games against Western Conference teams while going 1-7 in the past 8 games against Central Division foes. The Isles are also a dismal 19-40 in the past 59 games against a team with a winning record, too.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Islanders +1.5 (-280) are quite costly if you would like a little bit of insurance, and do not want to play New York straight up.

New York is risky business as an underdog, going just 1-3 in the past 4 on the puck line.

AVOID.

Over/Under

UNDER 5.5 (-110) might be the best play on the board.

The Under is 5-1-1 in the past 7 games overall for the Stars, while going 6-1-1 in the past 8 against Eastern Conference foes. The Under is 17-6-4 in the past 27 road games, too, while cashing at a 20-8-4 clip in the past 32 games against winning teams.

For the Islanders, the Under is 4-1-2 in the past 7 games overall, while going 2-0-2 in the past 4 games at home. The Under is also 3-0-1 in the past 4 for the Islanders against winning teams.

Auburn at Ole Miss picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 72, Ole Miss 63

Moneyline

The moneyline is OTB at the time of publishing.

However, Auburn should open as a short favorite based on the spread and isn’t a bad play if you don’t want to fiddle around with the points and just want to declare a winner.

The Tigers are the ranked team and they’re playing way better basketball than their counterparts. It’s rather surprising that this line isn’t much, much higher.

Against the spread

AUBURN -2.5 (-105) is a great play on the road.

The Tigers are just 2-5 ATS in the past 7 against teams with a winning overall record. However, the Rebels are 1-4-1 ATS in the past 6 games overall and 1-6-2 ATS in the past 9 against winning teams.

Auburn showed some signs of life in a win against a very good Arkansas team Saturday, proving that this team can be elite when it’s locked in. Ole Miss isn’t close to being on the same plane.

Over/Under

OVER 132.5 (-110) is the lean but go with a half-unit play at best.

It’s all about the Over for Auburn lately, going 6-2 in the past 8 games overall and 4-0 in the past 4 road games.

However, the Under is 5-0 in the past 5 games for Ole Miss, while going 4-1 in the past 5 following a non-cover and 4-0 in the past 4 following a SU loss.
