Southern at Texas A&M odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Southern at Texas A&M odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Southern Jaguars (1-3) make the trip to College Station to take on the Texas A&M Aggies (3-1) in Wednesday non-nonconference action. The opening tip at Reed Arena will be at 8 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Southern vs. Texas A&M odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

Southern opened with 3 straight losses before filing a Sunday win over National Christian College Athletic Association-member Ecclesia. That was an unlined matchup that saw the Jaguars shoot 56.3% and force 33 turnovers en route to a 131-42 victory. G Tidjiane Dioumassi leads the Jaguars in points (13.0), assists (5.0) and steals (1.8) per game.

Texas A&M, No. 23 in the USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll, enters on a 3-game win streak after season-opening 64-61 loss at UCF. The most impressive of the victories was A&M’s last game, a 78-64 home win vs. Ohio State Friday. The Aggies, led by 15 points apiece from G Wade Taylor IV and backup G Manny Obaseki, covered as 5.5-point favorites and the Under (147.5) came in.

Southern at Texas A&M picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas A&M 85, Southern 55

Moneyline

No interest. AVOID.

Against the spread

The Aggies are 8-1ATS across their last 9 November home games.

Texas A&M brought back a lot of minutes from a 21-win NCAA Tournament squad a season ago. Wednesday, the Aggies are facing a youthful Jaguars five that may well find themselves well out of its depth.

Since its shaky opener, A&M has been tremendously efficient on offense and not reliant on just one or two areas going along well. An offense that generates good looks inside and from beyond the arc will be squaring off against a Southern team that struggles in defending both areas. Add in high offensive rebounding and free-throw rates, and the Aggies figure to have leverage just about everywhere.

Last season, the Jaguars played 4 KenPom top-50 teams in November. They lost all four by an average deficit of 34.0 points per contest.

BACK THE AGGIES -26.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Texas A&M plays at a bottom-third pace, and the Under has gone 3-1 in its games. But the quick-add factors like free throws and second-chance points figure to loom large in the Aggies’ game play against the Jaguars.

Still, the last 5 times the Aggies have been favored by 20-plus points, the Under has gone 4-1.

Consider a partial-unit play on the UNDER 142.5 (-110).

Purdue at Marquette odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Purdue Boilermakers (4-0) and Marquette Golden Eagles (4-0) tussle in a Tuesday night top-15 game in Milwaukee. Tip time at Fiserv Arena will be 9 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Purdue vs. Marquette odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

Purdue is No. 6 and Marquette is No. 14 in the USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll.

The Boilermakers are coming off a big Friday win over the No. 7 Alabama Crimson Tide. The Boilermakers were 4-point home underdogs in that game and prevailed 87-78. Purdue was tagged with just 3 turnovers in that victory.

The Golden Eagles last played on Thursday, coming through as a 2.5-point underdog in a 78-74 triumph at the Maryland Terrapins. An 18-for-24 performance at the free-throw line and a plus-6 in turnovers helped the Eagles remain unbeaten.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Purdue at Marquette picks and predictions

Prediction

Purdue 73, Marquette 71

Moneyline

No interest. PASS.

Against the spread

The last 10 times when tabbed as a road underdog, Purdue has gone 7-2-1 ATS.

Purdue has the younger team, and its a group playing in a tough environment on its fist road trip. But the Boilermakers, save for shooting just 68.4% from the foul line, have been incredibly efficient on offense. They are shooting 46% from 3-point-land; that’s not a number that will hold up, but the distance shooting certainly figures as an area of strength. Purdue also has gotten to the line with good frequency, has defended the perimeter well and has taken good care of the ball.

Those latter 2 points bode well for this matchup in Milwaukee. So does the fact Purdue has already faced — and fared well against — an up-tempo team like the Eagles. Auburn’s early pace numbers are tabbed 10th-fastest by BartTorvik.

Marquette’s defense has been a little suspect in a couple games, especially in yielding a few too many looks at the rim.

These 2 Midwest powers have locked horns each of the last 2 seasons. Purdue won both games straight up and went 1-0-1 ATS.

BACK THE BOILERMAKERS +4.5 (-105).

Over/Under

Last year’s meeting cashed on the Over — a 78-75 Purdue win on a 140.5 — but the 3 previous meetings (2017-21) landed on the Under. The Under is 4-1 in Purdue’s last 5 November road games and is 6-3 across the Boilermakers’ last 9 games as a road underdog.

Peg this one for an above-average pace, mostly due to Marquette’s influence. But don’t expect much point spiral from second-chance or turnover/transition points.

The UNDER 152.5 (-105) is the value side here.

Florida A&M at Florida odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Florida A&M at Florida odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Florida A&M Rattlers (0-3) and the No. 19 Florida Gators (4-0) meet Tuesday at Stephen C. O’Connell Center in Gainesville. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN+ / SEC Network+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Florida A&M vs. Florida odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

The Rattlers are winless through 3 games, taking it on the chin at TCU (105-59 Nov. 4), at SMU (102-73 Nov. 7) and at Maryland (84-53 Nov. 11). FAMU has allowed 102 or more points in 2 of 3 games this season, but it has covered its previous 2 outings despite a losing margin of 30.0 points per game (PPG). The Over is 2-1 to date, too.

The Gators have fired out of the gates with 4 straight victories, including an 87-74 win at Florida State Friday as 5.5-point favorites. Florida is 2-2 ATS in its 4 wins, with an 0-2 ATS mark in 2 games at home, including an 86-62 win Nov. 11 over another SWAC opponent, Grambling. The Under is also 2-0 in 2 games at O’Connell Center.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Florida A&M at Florida picks and predictions

Prediction

Florida 88, Florida A&M 59

Moneyline

Florida (-10000) isn’t worth pursuing, especially since 1-way lines usually have a higher hold.

PASS. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

It takes a little bit of a leap of faith, but play FLORIDA A&M +35.5 (-105) taking the points in Gainesville.

The Rattlers certainly won’t be fazed, as they’ve played in 3 huge arenas already this season, cashing big checks along the way. And FAMU has covered, barely, in the past 2 games.

Florida -35.5 (-115) is 0-2 ATS in a pair of games at home so far, including the 24-point win over Grambling. Look for a similar result here.

Over/Under

UNDER 156.5 (-105) may be the best play on the board.

Florida has cashed low in each of its 2 games on the home floor so far, including its only previous game against a SWAC foe. It has allowed 61.0 PPG at home in the 2 outings, and FAMU is unlikely to put much of a dent in that number.

While the Rattlers cashed high in the first 2 games, it hit the Under in a loss at Maryland last time out, cobbling together just 53 points of offense.

The Lipscomb Bisons (2-3) visit the Kentucky Wildcats (3-0) in the BBN Invitational Tuesday. Tip from Rupp Arena is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN+ / SEC Network+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Lipscomb vs. Kentucky odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

Lipscomb has lost back-to-back games after falling 66-61 against Western Kentucky Sunday while covering as a 5.5-point road underdog. No Lipscomb player had more than 10 points, and the Bisons shot just 34.8% from the field.

Kentucky is undefeated after stunning Duke 77-72 Nov. 12 as a 5.5-point road underdog. F Andrew Carr scored a team-high 17 points while the Wildcats shot 39.7% from the field.

Lipscomb at Kentucky picks and predictions

Prediction

Kentucky 97, Lipscomb 71

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on Kentucky (-5000) to win Tuesday.

Against the spread

BET KENTUCKY -21.5 (-105).

Kentucky is 1-0-1 ATS this season as a favorite of 21.5 points or more, scoring 100 or more points in each game. It is coming off a massive road win against Duke and facing a Lipscomb team that did not see a double-digit scorer in its last game.

The Bisons have struggled this season against competition far worse than what it will see against the Wildcats.

Over/Under

BET OVER 160.5 (-105).

The Bisons have scored 77 or more points in 3 of their 5 games this season, while the Wildcats have scored 100 or more points in 2 of their 3.

Expect Kentucky to carry the load Tuesday, but Lipscomb will be able to add enough on to tip the total.

The UNC-Wilmington Seahawks (3-0) and the No. 1 Kansas Jayhawks (4-0) meet at Allen Fieldhouse Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the UNC-Wilmington vs. Kansas odds as we make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

The Seahawks earned their first road win Friday, defeating the South Carolina Upstate Spartans 89-85 but missing the cover as 9-point favorites.

Kansas improved to 4-0 with a 78-57 win over Oakland on Saturday but fell short of covering as 27.5-point home favorites. The Under 147 hit. Wisconsin transfer G AJ Storr led with 16 points off the bench, while preseason All-American C Hunter Dickinson added 10 points and 9 rebounds.

UNC-Wilmington at Kansas picks and predictions

Prediction

Kansas 93, UNC-Wilmington 69

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s no way anyone should consider betting Kansas (-10000) at this price. That’s risking $100 to win a $1 — not a wise sports gambling strategy. However, when looking at the spread, things get more enticing.

Against the spread

BET KANSAS -22.5 (-110).

This is the first-ever matchup between Kansas and UNC Wilmington. The Seahawks’ impressive scoring numbers are misleading, as 144 of their points came against a Division II team. Their last 2 wins were by an average of just 6 points, including a narrow victory over South Carolina Upstate, one of the worst defensive teams in the country.

Kansas has handled lesser opponents with ease, winning by an average of 25.5 points. Without a way to contain Dickinson, the Seahawks are in for a rough outing at Allen Fieldhouse.

Over/Under

BET OVER 155.5 (-115).

This matchup offers a test for UNC-Wilmington, whose high-scoring offense has yet to face a challenge like Kansas. The Seahawks scored 89 points against a weak defense but haven’t competed against a power program this season. Both of their games so far have gone over the total.

UNC-Wilmington ranks 142nd in tempo and adjusted offense per KenPom, with an impressive 16th spot in possessions per game (80.5). Kansas, ranked 78th in tempo and 9th in adjusted offense, averages 73.6 possessions per game. Facing a soft Seahawks defense, the Jayhawks should find plenty of scoring opportunities.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Cincinnati at Northern Kentucky picks and predictions

Prediction

Cincinnati 76, Northern Kentucky 65

Moneyline

No interest. PASS.

Against the spread

UC and NKU met last Nov. 19 and the Bearcats outshot and outrebounded their neighbors to the south by a wide margin. Cincinnati covered a 12.5-point spread in a 90-66 rout.

Northern Kentucky is not a good rebounding team, and if a big shooting advantage holds, this number is solid. But peg bot sides being due a dose of regression, helping the Norse and hindering the Bearcats.

A veteran NKU core facing some youthful UC players getting their first taste of road play this fall makes for a bumpier ride for the Bearcats this time out.

The leverage here is rather slight, though. Consider a partial-unit play on NORTHERN KENTUCKY +14.5 (-120).

Over/Under

Last year’s meeting cruised past an O/U of 137.5, and the last 6 times UC has been a double-digit road favorite, the Over has gone 4-2.

A mid-tempo game flow without an abundance of free throws should be the expectation. But NKU will launch a lot of 3s; any regression bounce from a shaky 24.3% mark so far would make for some points in chunks. And a fair number of second-chance points would seem likely for the Bearcats.

TAKE THE OVER 137.5 (-110).

Gonzaga at San Diego State odds, picks and predictions

The No. 4 Gonzaga Bulldogs (3-0) and San Diego State Aztecs (2-0) tangle in a Monday contest at Viejas Arena, tipping off at 10 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Gonzaga vs. San Diego State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

Gonzaga heads out for its first road game after 2 easy wins bracketing a closer-than-expected Nov. 10 contest against Arizona State, an 88-80 win. The Bulldogs — owners of a 2-1 mark against the spread (ATS) — have been highly efficient thus far and are averaging a robust 100.7 points per game.

San Diego State is back on the hardwood for the first time since last Tuesday when it clocked a 100-59 victory over D-III Occidental. SDSU is opening a tough stretch that will continue Thanksgiving week at the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas where it will face No. 13 Creighton on Nov. 26.

Gonzaga at San Diego State picks and predictions

Prediction

Gonzaga 77, San Diego State 70

Moneyline

No interest. STEER CLEAR.

Against the spread

SDSU won straight up as a 6.5-point underdog at Gonzaga 84-74 last season. The Aztecs played excellent defense, holding the Zags to a 42.4% mark from the floor, including 5-for-19 behind the 3-point line, and winning the turnover battle 13-11. Plus, the Aztecs’ bench outscored the Bulldogs’ bench 32-11.

GU will surely have revenge on its mind, but the defensive-minded Aztecs play at a below-average tempo and are solid in defending near-proximity looks around the bucket.

Expect Gonzaga to earn the win but perhaps more in the 3-possession territory on the final score.

TAKE SAN DIEGO STATE +10.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Under has gone 10-5-1 across SDSU’s last 16 lined games on home hardwood.

Expect big defensive efforts from both sides and not a ton of clock-stopped looks from the foul line. San Diego State has been a bit loose with the ball at times but tends to get back and avoid quick transition buckets.

TAKE THE UNDER 149.5 (-115).

The North Alabama Lions (3-1) and third-ranked Auburn Tigers (3-0) clash in an intrastate, non-conference showdown Monday. Tip-off from Neville Arena will be at 9 p.m. ET (SEC Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the North Alabama vs. Auburn odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

North Alabama lost a high-scoring game its last time out. That was on Friday when 1.5-point-underdog UNA fell 97-96 to Samford. Despite playing at a mid-level pace, the Lions have averaged 92.3 points per game over their last 3 contests.

Auburn is 3-0 against the spread (ATS). In their last game (Wednesday), the Tigers downed Kent State 79-56 in covering as 22.5-point favorites. Per BartTorvik, a senior-laden AU five has thus far shot 68.9% on 2-point looks.

North Alabama at Auburn picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 87, North Alabama 62

Moneyline

No interest. AVOID.

Against the spread

Auburn is 1-5 ATS the last 6 times it has been favored by 25-plus points.

The Tigers have a stretch of upcoming games which includes highly-regarded Duke, Iowa State and Ohio State. Might they be caught looking ahead and/or working in some load-management strategies before getting to those games?

North Alabama is no stranger to facing upper-echelon programs. The Lions played 4 teams in the top 125 of the BartTorvik ratings last season, and they acquitted themselves fairly well. The team’s Friday overtime loss was against a Samford five that fits that same class (current BartTorvik No. 119).

Some shooting downturn for AU should perhaps be expected. The Lions are efficient enough in both ends of the turnover exchange.

BACK NORTH ALABAMA +29.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Under is 2-1 in Auburn’s 3 games this season and 5-2 across the program’s last 7.

The Under has cashed each of the last 6 times UNA has been an underdog of 15 points or more.

The Tigers figure to get plenty of rim-and-3 points and their fair share of points off turnovers and looks at the line. But expect some efficiency downturn. And look for the Lions to slow their pace.

BACK THE UNDER 150.5 (-110).

IU Indianapolis at Iowa State picks and predictions

Prediction

Iowa State 87, IU Indianapolis 55

Moneyline

PASS.

The Cyclones are such heavy favorites that the ML is OTB.

Against the spread

LEAN IU INDIANAPOLIS +33.5 (-105).

While Iowa State is a far better team than IU Indy and will certainly stretch this victory, a 33.5-point margin is too high to bet. The Cyclones are 0-2 ATS this season, while the Jaguars covered in their only game as underdogs — a 94-80 loss as 30.5-point underdogs at Xavier Nov. 8.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 144.5 (-110).

Iowa State has hit the Under while allowing 56 or fewer points in both of its games this season. Expect more of the same Monday with IU Indy being unable to score enough for the Over to hit.
