Illinois at Iowa college basketball odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Sunday’s Illinois Fighting Illini at Iowa Hawkeyes sports betting odds and lines, with college basketball betting picks and tips.

The Illinois Fighting Illini (16-5) visit the Iowa Hawkeyes (15-6) Sunday afternoon for a 1 p.m. ET tip-off in a Big Ten tussle at Carver–Hawkeye Arena. We analyze the Illinois-Iowa odds and betting lines, with college basketball betting advice and tips around this matchup.

Illinois at Iowa: Three things you need to know

1. Illinois heads into Sunday’s road affair having won seven straight games. That run includes road victories at Wisconsin (Jan. 8), Purdue (Jan. 21), and Michigan (Jan. 25). Overall analytics, however, like Iowa at home more than they like Illinois on the road.

2. The Hawkeyes are returning home off a loss at Maryland. That has spelled a pair of 20-point victories on two other such occasions this season. It’s Iowa’s field-goal defense that gets the biggest boost in the environs of Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The Hawkeyes have held foes under 40% in six of their last eight home games.

3. Iowa C Luka Garza scored 21 points despite being limited to 24 minutes of action due to foul trouble in the first half of the Hawkeyes’ loss to Maryland. But Garza was missed, and his foul status throughout the game against Illinois will be key. The Illini are a middle-of-the-road team when it comes to drawing fouls.

Illinois at Iowa: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 9:15 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Iowa 73, Illinois 68

Moneyline (ML)

Its been a wild Big Ten this winter, but this line (Illinois +170/Iowa -209) doesn’t vary enough from expected outcomes. AVOID.

Against the Spread (ATS)

Illinois is 5-2 against the spread on the road. Iowa is 7-2-2 ATS at home.

This game figures as a 3-6-point game in a number of ways you slice it. That spells a PASS.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Under is a combined 25-16 in games these teams have appeared in this season, 6-1 when Illinois is facing a .600 team and 4-0 in Iowa’s last four games following an ATS loss.

Both teams have been a little off in shooting the basketball over their last couple games, and we wouldn’t expect the Illini to impact the score too much in three-by-three fashion (Illinois ranks 323rd in the nation in 3-point rate and 317th in 3-point accuracy). Play the UNDER 146.5 (-110) here, with a sleepy early Sunday game coming in at around 141 for a total.

Analyzing Kentucky Wildcats at Auburn Tigers sports betting odds and lines, with college basketball betting picks and tips.

The Kentucky Wildcats (16-4) head to Auburn Arena to play the Auburn Tigers (18-2) at 6:00 p.m. ET. We analyze the Kentucky-Auburn odds and betting lines, with college basketball betting advice and tips around this matchup.

Wildcats at Tigers: Three things you need to know

  1. Auburn is 3-6 straight up and 4-4-1 against the spread versus the Wildcats since Bruce Pearl’s first season at Auburn (2014-15).
  2. Kentucky has won eight of its previous nine games, including two overtime victories over ranked opponents – the Louisville Cardinals and Texas Tech Red Raiders.
  3. Auburn is winners of three in a row after dropping the previous two to SEC opponents—Georgia Bulldogs and Alabama Crimson Tide— by double-digits.

Wildcats at Tigers: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 2:15 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Auburn 79, Kentucky 70

Moneyline (ML)

We are backing the senior-laden Auburn -167 team against the trademark diaper dandy stacked Wildcats +135. The four starting seniors for Auburn are going to be jacked up to win in their final home game against SEC-rival Kentucky who’s starting zero seniors.

However, what gives me pause in betting the moneyline is Kentucky is the first ranked opponent for Auburn in 2019-20, while the Wildcats are 3-1 straight up and against the spread against ranked competition. I do like Auburn in this spot but still I’m PASSING ON A MONEY LINE WAGER in Kentucky-Auburn.

Against the Spread (ATS)

I LOVE AUBURN -3.5 (-110) for a couple of trendy reasons:

  • Auburn has the second-best ATS record in the SEC since 2014 at 45-37-1 with a 10.2 margin of victory and Kentucky has the second-worst ATS record as a road team at 24-30-1 ATS.
  • Kentucky doesn’t do well when spotted points on the road:  the Wildcats are 5-8 ATS as a road ‘dog since 2014.  And the Tigers have the best ATS record in the SEC when laying points at home:  they are 37-23-1 ATS and a 15.8 margin of victory with Pearl at the helm.

Over/Under (O/U)

LET’S TAKE the OVER 142.5 (-121) in Kentucky-Auburn. The Tigers have a 6-4-1 over/under record at home and the Wildcats have a 4-0 O/U record on the road. Also, we like Auburn laying points in this spot so it’s good to note that their O/U record as a home favorite is 38-21-2 since 2014, which is an SEC high for overs in that period. Furthermore, Kentucky has a 8-5 O/U record as an away underdog in that time frame.

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.

The road the Final Four has officially started. The Connecticut Huskies travel to the Memphis Tigers in an AAC showdown, live on CBS All Access.

The Huskies are fresh off a 78-63 win over Temple that ended a four-game losing streak (three against ranked teams) and will be looking to start another winning streak.

Texas Tech at Kansas college basketball odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s Texas Tech Red Raiders at Kansas Jayhawks sports betting odds and lines, with college basketball betting picks.

The Texas Tech Red Raiders (13-7) visit the Kansas Jayhawks (17-3) Saturday afternoon for a 4 p.m. ET tip-off in a Big 12 battle at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence. We analyze the Texas Tech-Kansas odds and betting lines, with college basketball betting advice and tips around this matchup.

Texas Tech at Kansas: Three things you need to know

1. The Jayhawks, ranked third in the USA TODAY Sports coaches poll, have won five straight games and eight of their last nine. A staunch Kansas defense has held opponents to 60 or fewer points in eight of those nine games. Over that stretch, the Jayhawks have held foes to a 37% field-goal percentage while rebounding at an average margin of plus-5.

2. Texas Tech F Kevin McCullar is questionable (concussion) for this one. McCullar is TTU’s third-leading rebounder. Kansas already has a substantial rebounding edge in the game, and the Red Raiders can ill-afford a big-man injury and/or foul trouble.

3. The Red Raiders were at home their last two games. Texas Tech is 0-3 ATS the last three times they have played away from home after multiple games in Lubbock.

Texas Tech at Kansas: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 11:45 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Kansas 70, Texas Tech 61

Moneyline (ML)

Kansas (-455) is a line with some value baked in. Kansas can score in such a variety of ways — from 24 feet and in and including uncontested 15-footers — and some computer ratings give the Jayhawks a 12-to-16-point edge in this late-afternoon tilt at Allen Fieldhouse. An expected slow pace favors the talent on the floor, and in that department, Kansas is loaded.

Take the -455 here with the value being that the Jayhawks have an 82% chance to win outright by any total.

Against the Spread (ATS)

The Red Raiders are 2-6 against the spread in their last eight road games against a team with a winning home record. Texas Tech is 2-6 ATS over their last eight games following a straight-up win.

KANSAS (-8.5, -115) is worth a line watch in conjunction with the above. The ATS number had some fluidity early. If it goes down to 8-or-lower, some half-and-half action is advisable.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Under is 14-5 when Kansas is favored and 6-4 in TTU games against winning teams. The UNDER 131.5 (-110) is a respectable number, though. There isn’t enough projectable leeway south of that figure to allow for some profit margin.

Iowa at Maryland college basketball odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Thursday’s Iowa Hawkeyes at Maryland Terrapins sports betting odds and lines, with college basketball betting picks and best bets

The Iowa Hawkeyes (15-5) visit the Maryland Terrapins (16-4) Thursday at 8:30 p.m. ET in a Big Ten battle at Xfinity Center in College Park, MD. We analyze the Iowa-Maryland odds and betting lines, with college basketball betting advice and tips around this matchup.

Iowa at Maryland: Three things you need to know

  1. Iowa beat Maryland by 18 points (67-49) in Iowa City Jan. 10. The 18th-ranked team in the USA Today Sports Coaches Poll has bombed its way to four straight victories since. Over the five-game win streak, Iowa has shot 37.7% from beyond the 3-point arc.
  2. No. 15 Maryland allowed an aggregate 52% field-goal accuracy mark (and a 46% mark from 3-point-land) over its last two games, both losses on the road. That’s part of a trend that has seen the Terrapins defense struggle away from home. But recent home games? Maryland has held foes to 36%, 31% and 36%, respectively, over its last three contests in College Park.
  3. Junior C Luka Garza scored 21 points against the Terps when Iowa and Maryland last met. He has scored 20-plus in four straight games since and has averaged 26 points per game over the five-game span. Garza has had some big road games this season and will be a key performer Thursday.

Iowa at Maryland: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 9 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Maryland 73, Iowa 67

Moneyline (ML)

PASS. Iowa (+200) is the lean, but its a line bracketed by a juice cushion without much value.

Against the Spread (ATS)

Iowa is 4-0-2 against the spread over its last six games against teams playing .600 basketball. Over the last five meetings between these two programs, the underdog is 4-1.

The Hawkeyes carry in solid momentum, and the IOWA (+5.5, -106) line is a slight lean. But Maryland has a strong home-court advantage. In a game where the Under is advisable (see below), a line-watch for a +6 would be a wise move. If it’s not there, move on.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Under is 4-0 in the Hawkeyes’ last four games as a road favorite, 6-2 in Iowa’s last eight vs. winning teams,  5-1 in the Terrapins’ last six home games and 6-2 in Maryland’s last eight games as an underdog.

This is a fast-paced team (Iowa) against one wanting to slow things down (Maryland). Including their Jan. 10 game against the Terps, the Under has prevailed the last three times Iowa played a slow-down team. The UNDER 145.5 (-110) has value — enough so for a moderate play.

The Sooners are fresh off a one-point win over Mississippi State after losing to No. 1 ranked Baylor last week. They’ll try to get back on a winning streak and push themselves up the Big 12 standings against Kansas State.

The Wildcats are 1-5 in conference play so far this season and are coming off back-to-back losses, against No. 3 ranked Kansas and Alabama (SEC). But don’t count out Kansas State as they took down No. 12 ranked West Virginia earlier in January and certainly seem capable of playing upset artists once again.

West Virginia at Texas Tech college basketball odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Wednesday’s West Virginia Mountaineers at Texas Tech Red Raiders college basketball odds and lines, with picks and best bets.

The West Virginia Mountaineers (16-3) visit the Texas Tech Red Raiders (12-7)  Wednesday at United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock, TX. Tip-off for the Big 12 clash is set for 8 p.m. ET. We analyze the West Virginia-Texas Tech odds and betting lines, with college basketball betting advice and tips around this matchup.

West Virginia at Texas Tech: Three things you need to know

1. Texas Tech has lost two straight games and four of its last six. TTU’s most recent setback was an overtime effort against Kentucky (Saturday). It was the Raiders’ third overtime loss of the season.

2. West Virginia arrives in Lubbock having won five of its last six games. WVU has held foes to a 34.9 field-goal percentage over those six games.

3. This one sets up as a rare modern game with neither side likely to do much damage from beyond the 3-point arc. Neither is in the NCAA-I top-200 in either 3-point accuracy or attempt rate.

West Virginia at Texas Tech: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 11 a.m. ET.

Prediction

West Virginia 67, Texas Tech 63

Moneyline (ML)

West Virginia (+120) hasn’t been a great road team, and their results — even in wins — tend to be on the inconsistent side. WVU did beat the Red Raiders by 12 (66-54) in Morgantown, W. Va. Jan. 11. In several key factors, the Mountaineers have things trending the right way and in areas where the Red Raiders (-143) have developed some question marks.

WEST VIRGINIA +120 is a lean and worth an undercard play.

Against the Spread (ATS)

The Mountaineers are 6-0 against the spread over their last six against teams playing .600-basketball, and they’re 5-1 over their last six games as an underdog. The Red Raiders are 0-4 ATS in their last four against teams with a winning percentage over .600. In its last dozen games as a favorite, Texas Tech is 3-9.

West Virginia is strong on the glass, and the Mountaineers have the inside and mid-range game to create mismatches and sustained runs on the scoreboard. WEST VIRGINIA (+2.5, -110) is a strong play. (You may need to get to that line soon.)

Over/Under (O/U)

WVU games have gone Over in three of its last four outings, but the Under prevailed over the three games prior to that stretch. The Under is 6-1 over the Mountaineers’ seven road tilts. Trends on the TTU side are a mixed bag. Both defenses are top-10 in the nation in defensive efficiency (a measure of points allowed per possession), and the total here reflects that.

I have a lean toward the OVER 128.5 (-110) but with no finger on the trigger.
