Prediction

Texas Tech 68, Oklahoma 63

Moneyline (ML)

PASS on the Texas Tech moneyline (-400) as there is just too much chalk involved. Play the spread in search of a greater profit margin.

Against the Spread (ATS)

OKLAHOMA (+9.5, -121) is a sharp play on the road against a Texas Tech (-9.5, +100) side which has been rather shaky lately and has both Gs Chris Clarke (undisclosed) and Kevin McCullar (concussion) listed as questionable. Both players give the Red Raiders nice depth, and if they’re unavailable then the Sooners are a slam-dunk play to stay within 9 points in a loss or win outright.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 137.5 (-106) is the way to go in this conference battle. The Under has dominated for Oklahoma lately, going 4-0 in its past four games on the road, and 7-2 in the previous nine. The Under is also 19-8 in the past 27 for the Sooners against winning teams. The Under is 4-1 in Texas Tech’s past five against winning teams, too.

Colorado at USC college basketball odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s Colorado Buffaloes at USC Trojans sports betting odds and lines, with college basketball betting picks and tips.

The Colorado Buffaloes (16-5, 6-3 Pac-12) and USC Trojans (17-4, 7-2 Pac-12) square off at Galen Center at 10:30 p.m. ET Saturday. We analyze the Colorado-USC odds and betting lines, while providing college basketball betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Colorado at USC: Three things you need to know

1. USC picked up a win last time out, while Colorado is coming off a Thursday loss, putting the Buffaloes one game back of the Trojans for second place in the Pac-12.

2. Colorado owns a 9-4 straight up record in 13 meetings since moving to the Pac-12 conference before the 2011-12 season. The Buffaloes swept the season series last year, winning by four points in L.A. and by 11 at home.

3. The road team has connected in five of the past seven meetings in this series.

Colorado at USC: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 12 p.m. ET.

Prediction

USC 68, Colorado 63

Moneyline (ML)

USC (-115) is the play at home, but we can get even better value on the spread.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Trojans to win outright returns a profit of $8.70.

Against the Spread (ATS)

USC (-1.5, +100) is playing much better than Colorado (+1.5, -121) at the moment, and the Trojans will be looking to avenge the season sweep from a year ago. The big man for USC, Onyeka Okongwu, is averaging 17.0 points per game, 9.1 rebounds and 3.2 blocked shots per game while leading the team with a 61.5 field-goal percentage, too. He’ll be the difference in this one.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 135.5 (-110) is worth a small-unit play, as that’s been the trend for both sides lately. The Under is 7-3 in USC’s past 10 overall, and 20-7 in its last 27 home games. The Under is also a perfect 6-0 in the Trojans’ past six games against winning teams. For Colorado, the Over is 8-3 in the past 11 games overall, but the Under is 5-0 in their past five games against teams with a winning overall mark. The Under is also a whopping 25-9 in the past 34 on the road for CU.

Oregon at Colorado odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Thursday’s Oregon Ducks at Colorado Buffaloes sports betting odds and lines, with NCAA basketball betting picks.

The Oregon Ducks (11-2) and Colorado Buffaloes (11-2) square off at the CU Events Center at 9 p.m. ET Thursday. We analyze the Oregon-Colorado odds and betting lines, while providing college basketball betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Oregon at Colorado: Three things you need to know

1. Colorado has picked up 11 victories in 13 games to date, including an 81-71 win over Arizona State Nov. 8 in Shanghai (the game did not count in the Pac-12 standings as the contest was part of the conference’s Global Initiative). However, the Buffaloes rank a dismal 251st with a 42.3 field-goal percentage.

2. Oregon is quite a bit more efficient offensively, ranking 33rd in points scored (80.3 PPG), ninth in field-goal percentage (49.7%) and fifth in 3-pointer percentage (41.7%).

3. Ducks G Payton Pritchard leads the team in points (18.5), assists (6.2) and steals (1.8) per game.

Prediction

Oregon 78, Colorado 69

Moneyline (ML)

No moneyline was available at the time of publishing.

Against the Spread (ATS)

OREGON (-1.5, -115) heads to Boulder looking to make team history against Colorado (+1.5, -106), as the Ducks are 0-8 SU all time in Colorado. The Buffs spanked them 73-51 last season Feb. 2. However, the shooting woes of CU, and the hot shooting this season of Oregon, should result in the first-ever Ducks win in Boulder.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 138.5 (-106) is the way to go, as Oregon’s offense has been red hot. The Ducks post over 80 points per game, and even if they’re slightly below their average, the Over is looking mighty tasty in this one.

South Carolina at Virginia odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Sunday’s South Carolina Gamecocks at Virginia Cavaliers betting odds and lines, with NCAA basketball betting picks and tips.

The South Carolina Gamecocks (7-4, 0-0 SEC) and Virginia Cavaliers (9-1, 2-0 ACC) do battle at John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville at 3 p.m. ET Sunday. We analyze the South Carolina-Virginia odds and betting lines, while providing college basketball betting tips and advice on this matchup.

The Cavaliers are ranked seventh in the USA TODAY Sports men’s basketball coaches poll.

South Carolina at Virginia: Three things you need to know

1. UVA is a perfect 6-0 at home this season, and the Cavaliers have allowed an average of just 41.3 points per game in those six outings. Vermont had the highest production with 55 points in a game Nov. 19.

2. South Carolina ranks just 213th in points scored with 70.6 PPG, and it is 321st in the nation with a success rate of just 28.8% from behind the 3-point line.

3. The Gamecocks have failed to cover the spread in six of the past eight, while the Wahoos are just 1-7 ATS in the past eight overall, so something’s gotta give.

South Carolina at Virginia: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 1:30 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Virginia 58, South Carolina 51

Moneyline (ML)

PASS. Talk about chalk. Virginia (-650) is going to win, but the price is too high – every $6.50 wagered on the Cavaliers ML will only profit $1 if they prevail. South Carolina (+475) offers close to a 5-to-1 payoff, but it ain’t happening.

Against the Spread (ATS)

SOUTH CAROLINA (+10.5, -110) is catching double digits on the road, and that’s a little much. The Gamecocks aren’t a great team, but they’re not bad, either. While they have struggled with the perimeter shooting, they’ll be able to get some inside scoring against Virginia (-10.5, -110). The Wahoos don’t blow anyone out, but they aren’t about to lose this one, either.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 112 (-110) is the play, as this one isn’t going over 110. In this day and age that sounds crazy to say, but Virginia just tosses a blanket on the opposition and teams struggle to score 50 against the Cavs. In fact, that’s considered a ‘good’ day.

Utah State at Florida odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s Utah State Aggies at Florida Gators betting odds and lines, with NCAA basketball betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Utah State Aggies (11-2, 2-0 Mountain West) and Florida Gators (7-3, 0-0 SEC) will square off at BB&T Center in Sunrise, FL at 2:30 p.m. ET Saturday. We analyze the Utah State-Florida odds and betting lines, while providing college basketball betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Utah State at Florida: Three things you need to know

1. Following a 14 point loss at Butler, the Gators rebounded in a big way this past week. They held Providence to 26% shooting from the field on their way to an 83-51 victory.

2. Utah State is coming off a 76-74 overtime win vs South Florida on a neutral court. The Aggies failed to cover the spread for the sixth straight game, and are now 4-8 against the spread on the season.

3. Utah State ranks fourth in the country in rebound margin at plus-11.4 per game. Justin Bean, a 6-foot-7 sophomore forward, has led the team in rebounding in every game, and they also have 7-footer Neemias Queta. Meanwhile, the Gators are tied for 140th in rebound margin a plus-2.6 per game.

Prediction

Florida 68, Utah State 63

Moneyline (ML)

No money line odds were available at the time of publishing.

Against the Spread (ATS)

FLORIDA (-2.5, -110) is coming off a very impressive performance against Providence, and Utah State failed to cover in each of its last six contests. It should be a close game, but if the Gators can hold their own on the boards, they are likely to prevail, and are the side to take.

Over/Under (O/U)

Utah State is highly unlikely to reach its 79.5 points per game average against Florida’s stingy defense, which has surrendered just 62.3 PPG. The Over hit in five straight games for the Gators, but only once during that span was the total this high. A slight lean to the UNDER 133.5 (-110) in this one.

Ohio State vs. Kentucky odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Kentucky Wildcats sports betting odds and lines, with NCAA basketball betting picks, tips and bets.

The Ohio State Buckeyes (10-1, 1-1 Big Ten) and Kentucky Wildcats (8-2, 0-0 SEC) tangle in the CBS Sports Classic Game at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas at 5:15 p.m. ET. We analyze the Ohio State-Kentucky odds and betting lines, while providing college basketball betting tips and advice on this matchup.

The Buckeyes are ranked fourth in the USA TODAY Sports men’s basketball coaches poll. The Wildcats are No. 6.

Ohio State vs. Kentucky: Three things you need to know

1. Ohio State G Duane Washington Jr. (ribs), who averages 11.4 points and 1.8 assists, is questionable to play. He has missed the past two games.

2. Kentucky ranks a dismal 117th with 75.4 points per game, and an even worse 334th in 3-pointer percentage at just 27.5%. Defensively the Wildcats are 26th in the nation, allowing just 60.2 PPG.

3. These teams last met Dec. 19, 2015 with the Buckeyes coming away with a 74-67 victory.

Prediction

Kentucky 72, Ohio State 67

Moneyline (ML)

There were no moneyline odds available at the time of publishing.

Against the Spread (ATS)

KENTUCKY (+3.5, -110) heads into this one with just two covers across its past eight games overall. However, the ‘Cats are 4-1 ATS in the past five as an underdog and 13-2-2 ATS in the past 17 neutral-site games as a ‘dog. In addition, they’re 23-11-2 ATS in the past 36 on a neutral court. Ohio State (-3.5, -110) is impressive at 8-1 ATS in the past nine games overall, but Kentucky gets it done here.

New to sports betting? Every $1.10 wagered on Kentucky will proft $1 if the Wildcats win outright or don’t lose by 4 points or more.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 131.5 (-110) is the play here, going 7-2 in Ohio State’s past nine neutral-site battles. The Over is also 5-1 in Kentucky’s past six games following a straight-up loss. Look for the Wildcats to bounce back with a solid offensively showing after falling to the Utah Utes 69-66 on this same Las Vegas court Wednesday.

Maryland at Seton Hall odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Thursday’s Maryland Terrapins at Seton Hall Pirates sports betting odds and lines, with NCAA basketball betting picks, tips and bets.

The Maryland Terrapins (10-1, 1-1 Big Ten) and Seton Hall Pirates (6-4, 0-0 Big East) meet up at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. at 7 p.m. ET. We analyze the Maryland-Seton Hall odds and betting lines, while providing college basketball betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Maryland at Seton Hall: Three things you need to know

1. The Terrapins look to rebound from their first loss of the season – 76-69 at Penn State Dec. 10.

2. The Pirates are on a two-game skid. They lost 76-66 at Iowa State Dec. 8, and 68-48 at Rutgers in a Garden State Hardwood Classic Saturday, falling as 1.5-point favorites.

3. Seton Hall G Myles Powell, the team’s leading scorer (21.2 points per game), is considered out indefinitely due to a concussion. In fact, Powell was so concussed in the game against the Scarlet Knights last time out, he reportedly asked coach Kevin Willard why his team was practicing at Rutgers. Scary stuff. He joins second-leading scorer Sandro Mamukelashvili (wrist) on the shelf.

Prediction

Maryland 75, Seton Hall 61

Moneyline (ML)

Maryland (-300) is costly –  every $3 wagered profits a $1 if the Terps win outright. Seton Hall (+250) offers a 2.5-to-1 payoff, but this is a PASS. We’ll focus on the spread below.

Against the Spread (ATS)

MARYLAND (-6.5, -110) hits the road looking to rebound from a loss to the Nittany Lions. The Terps catch a break with Powell likely sidelined for the Pirates, and Mamukelashvili already on the mend. Look for the Terrapins to make a statement in this road battle. UMD is 13-5 ATS in the past 18 games following a non-cover, and 7-3 ATS in the past 10 after a straight-up loss, too.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 138.5 (-110) is the play in this one, as it’s uncertain where Seton Hall’s scoring is going to come from. The Pirates’ only two guys averaging double-digit point totals are dealing with serious injuries. Look for the under to hit.

NC State at Auburn odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Thursday’s NC State Wolfpack at Auburn Tigers sports betting odds and lines, with NCAA basketball betting picks, tips and bets.

The NC State Wolfpack (8-2, 1-1 ACC) and Auburn Tigers 9-0, 0-0 SEC) tangle at Auburn Arena at 9 p.m. ET Thursday. We analyze the NC State-Auburn odds and betting lines, while providing college basketball betting tips and advice on this matchup.

NC State at Auburn: Three things you need to know

1. The Wolfpack have just two losses so far, falling by one point to Georgia Tech in overtime in the opener Nov. 5, and 83-78 at Memphis Nov. 28. Since the loss to Memphis, they’re 3-0 straight up and against the spread with wins over Wisconsin, Wake Forest and UNC-Greensboro.

2. Auburn is unbeaten, but it’s 0-2 ATS in the past two against Furman and St. Louis. The Tigers’ best win of the season might be a 10-point victory over Davidson Nov. 8, but their schedule hasn’t exactly been a gauntlet.

3. The Wolfpack enter 6-2 ATS in the past eight road games, and 4-1 ATS in the past five overall. The Tigers are just 2-5 ATS in the past seven at home, and they’re 0-4 ATS in the past four home games against a team with a winning road record.

Prediction

N.C. State 82, Auburn 80

Moneyline (ML)

NC STATE (+260) is an attractive value play with nearly a 3x return on your investment with a victory.

Against the Spread (ATS)

NC STATE (+8.5, -133) has been a cover kins, and it’s on a 3-0 SU/ATS run with impressive resume-building wins. Auburn (-8.5, +110) is one of four remaining teams in the nation with an unblemished record. However, the Tigers haven’t exactly been tested, and the Wolfpack will give them their best battle to date.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 151.5 (-115) is worth a look, cashing in 14 of the past 19 road outings for NC State, and five of the past seven overall. Auburn has hit the Over in five of its past six at home, too.

Previewing Wednesday’s Utah Utes vs. Kentucky Wildcats betting odds and lines, with NCAA basketball betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Utah Utes (8-2, 0-0 PAC-12) and the Kentucky Wildcats (8-1, 0-0 SEC) tangle on a neutral-site floor at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas at 11 p.m. ET Wednesday. We analyze the Utah-Kentucky odds and betting lines, while providing college basketball betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Utah vs. Kentucky: Three things you need to know

1. Kentucky G Ashton Hagans rolls in with 16.3 points and 8.7 assists per game across his past six outings.

2. Kentucky freshman G Tyrese Maxey is just 4-for-26 from the field across his past three games.

3. The Utes enter this game with a 29-29 record all-time in Las Vegas, while going 8-8 under head coach Larry Krystkowiak.

Prediction

Kentucky 85, Utah 77

Moneyline (ML)

Kentucky (-769) is heavily favorited to win, but the ML is too chalky to warrant a wager. A $10 bet on the Wildcats to win outright returns a profit of just $1.30.

Against the Spread (ATS)

UTAH (+11.5, -110) will be able to keep it within single digits, mainly due to the erratic shooting of Maxey. While he has been playing lockdown defense, he has really struggled from the perimeter, and that’s his calling card. Until he gets on track, opponents of the Wildcats (-11.5, -110) will be able to reel them in.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 138.5 (-110) is the play here. Expect Kentucky to snap out of its shooting funk a little bit. The Over is 12-5 in Utah’s past 17 against teams with a winning percentage of .600 or better. While it’s all Under all the time for Kentucky, some trends are made to be broken.

North Carolina at Gonzaga odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Wednesday’s North Carolina Tar Heels at Gonzaga Bulldogs betting odds and lines, with NCAA basketball betting picks and tips.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs (11-1, 0-0 WCC) and North Carolina Tar Heels (6-4, 1-1 ACC) battle at McCarthey Athletic Center in Spokane, Wash. at 9 p.m. ET. We analyze the North Carolina-Gonzaga odds and betting lines, while providing college basketball betting tips and advice on this matchup.

North Carolina at Gonzaga: Three things you need to know

1. The Tar Heels are injury ravaged, as all kinds of key personnel are fighting through injury to play or they’re sidelined. Star Cole Anthony (knee) will miss at least four weeks due to arthroscopic knee surgery, while G Leaky Black (foot) is battling through a sprained right foot.

2. UNC is on a three-game winning streak in this series, going 3-1 all-time vs. Gonzaga.

3. Gonzaga enters as the much healthier team. F Filip Petrusev leads the team with 15.8 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocked shots per game.

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 8:00 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Gonzaga 84, North Carolina 63

Moneyline (ML)

Gonzaga (-667) is an overwhelming favorite to beat the banged-up and struggling visitors from North Carolina (+475), but you can’t risk nearly seven times the return. Look to the spread instead.

A $10 bet on the Bulldogs to win outright would return a profit of just $1.50.

Against the Spread (ATS)

GONZAGA (-10.5, -134) remembers the 103-90 beating it took against North Carolina (+10.5, +110) the last time these teams faced. The Bulldogs are not going to feel sorry for UNC’s injury woes and poor shooting from the perimeter. Look for the Bulldogs to house the Tar Heels in this one.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 145.5 (-106) is a nice small-unit play, especially as part of a parlay. The only concern with the Over is whether or not the Tar Heels can generate enough offense in a potential blowout. They rank 310th in the nation in 3-point shooting, and that’s a huge concern.
