North Dakota State vs. Oral Roberts picks and predictions

Prediction

Oral Roberts 75, North Dakota State 69

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on a moneyline play for Oral Roberts in this game, a team that has gone 18-0 in conference play this season and is rightfully favored.

Against the spread

LEAN NORTH DAKOTA STATE +10.5 (-110).

While Oral Roberts has performed well outright this season, it has struggled against the spread, going 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games including 1-7 ATS in its last 8 and 1-7 in its last 8 games following an outright victory. North Dakota State is 6-3 ATS in its last 9 games including 2 covers the last 2 times it was the underdog.

For the Golden Eagles, the Under is 6-1 in their last 7 overall including 6-1 in their last 7 following an outright win, and 5-1 in their last 6 games following a ATS loss.

FCS Championship Game: North Dakota State vs. South Dakota State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s North Dakota State vs. South Dakota State FCS title game odds and lines, with expert picks, predictions and best bets.

In Sunday’s FCS Championship Game, the North Dakota State Bison (12-2) take on the South Dakota State Jackrabbits (13-1) at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET (ABC). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the North Dakota State vs. South Dakota State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The defending champion Bison topped Montana State in Frisco last season, as North Dakota State posted its 4th FCS national title in the past 5 seasons, and its 9th national title overall, just since 2011.

South Dakota State has never won a national title, but it was runner-up to Sam Houston in May 2021 during the COVID season of 2020-21. This will be SDSU’s first game in Frisco in front of a full crowd, too, although it played at Iowa this season, so it won’t be fazed by a large crowd.

SDSU ousted defending national runner-up Montana State 39-18 to get to Frisco, and it has won 13 straight games, including a 23-21 win at North Dakota State Oct. 15. The Jackrabbits’ only loss was their opener, a 7-3 decision at Iowa Sept. 3.

QB Mark Gronowski led the Jackrabbits completing 65.1% of his passes for 2,744 yards and 23 touchdowns with just 5 interceptions. He can tuck it and run, too, going for 351 yards and 11 TDs. RB Isaiah Davis is a force on the ground, rushing for 1,348 yards with 14 TDs.

North Dakota State dismissed Incarnate World in a wild FCS semifinal, winning 35-32. Since the October loss to the Jacks, the Bison have rattled off 7 straight wins, with 5 of those victories by 17 or more points.

The Bison will be looking to run, using RBs Kobe Johnson (902 rushing yards, 7.6 yards per carry, 8 TD), TaMerik Williams (679 yards, 7.4 YPC, 8 TD) and FB Hunter Luepke (619 yards, 6.3 YPC, 9 TD). QB Cam Miller, who passed for 1,715 yards, 11 TDs and just 3 INTs can also run it, going for 497 yards on the ground with a team-high 15 rushing scores.

North Dakota State vs. South Dakota State picks and predictions

Prediction

North Dakota State 25, South Dakota State 23

Moneyline

NORTH DAKOTA STATE (+180) is a tremendous value at this price as it’s a chance to nearly double up. The Bison have appeared in 9 of the past 11 national title games, and they have never lost.

South Dakota State has had an amazing season, including the regular-season win at North Dakota State in a game the Jackrabbits trailed 21-7 at the half.

Will the Jackrabbits beat the Bison twice this season and hand them their 1st loss in a title game?

I don’t think so. Back the defending champs.

Against the spread

If you want to be less risky and take some points for insurance, NORTH DAKOTA STATE +5 (-109) is still a good play.

When these teams faced off earlier in October, South Dakota State went on the road and won by just 2 points.

The Jackrabbits defense ranks No. 1 in the nation, allowing just 83.0 rushing yards per game on the ground, while the Bison offense rank 3rd with 273.3 rushing YPG. The line that wins this battle will be the national champion. I expect that to be the Bison.

Over/Under

OVER 47.5 (-112) is the lean, ever so slightly.

Both of these teams can score. SDSU was good for 33.4 PPG, while NDSU went for 35.3 PPG.

Both teams are very good on defense, too, with the Jacks allowing just 15.4 PPG and the Bison yielding 18.4 PPG.

Which way will this game go?

The last time they faced each other, we saw a total of 44 points. Expect a total in the upper 40’s here. It won’t be a shootout, but it also won’t be a defensive slog.

This game will come down to the final possession to cash an Over ticket.

North Dakota State at Kansas odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s North Dakota State at Kansas odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The North Dakota State Bison (0-1) travel to Lawrence to battle the defending national champion Kansas Jayhawks (0-0) Thursday at 8 p.m. (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the North Dakota State vs. Kansas odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

No. 5 Kansas starts its championship defense against a North Dakota State team coming off a season-opening 76-58 loss to No. 10 Arkansas. However, the Bison did cover as 22.5-point underdogs.

This will be another challenging game as Kansas is the winningest program in college basketball history. The Bison will look to get out of this game unscathed as they hope to make an impression in the Summit League and make the NCAA Tournament.

North Dakota State at Kansas picks and predictions

Prediction

Kansas 87, North Dakota State 65

Moneyline

PASS.

A wager is not worth making on the ML for either team.

Against the spread

LEAN NORTH DAKOTA STATE +24.5 (-112).

Kansas is far better than North Dakota State. But we see, early in the season, that not all teams come out strong.

The defending champions may just come out a little lazy in this one with coach Bill Self on a university-imposed suspension. While talent will win out and the Jayhawks will roll, they might keep it just close enough to not cover this large 24.5-point number on opening night.

Over/Under

BET OVER 146.5 (-112).

North Dakota State has already played a game this season against a top-10 opponent in Arkansas. The Razorbacks, like the Jayhawks can score. The Bison gave up 76 to Arkansas and I can see 80 going up in this one.

On the other side, Kansas will be sitting starters by the end of the game and the defense will take a hit. It will take garbage time to get there, but OVER 146.5 (-112) is my FAVORITE PLAY.

Summit League Championship: North Dakota State vs. South Dakota State odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s North Dakota State vs. South Dakota State odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The North Dakota State Bison (23-9) face the South Dakota State Jackrabbits (29-4) Tuesday in the Summit League championship game. Tip-off from Denny Sanford Premier Center in Sioux Falls, S.D., is at 9 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Below, we look at the North Dakota State vs. South Dakota State odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The Bison dispatched last season’s Summit League champ Oral Roberts 92-72 to earn a spot in the Summit League Championship. Oral Roberts is an experienced team that captivated America with a run to the Sweet Sixteen as a 15-seed in 2021. North Dakota State enters this game with nine wins in its last 10 games and has covered the spread in six of its last seven outings.

The Jackrabbits swept the regular-season series against the Bison, but both games were decided by just 4 points. SDSU has won 20 consecutive games since its last loss Dec. 15.

[tipico]

North Dakota State vs. South Dakota State odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

South Dakota State 83, North Dakota State 77

Money line

South Dakota State is likely the right side but there’s just no value with a -280 tag. Each of the two regular-season meetings was a nail-biter, and this one likely to be right along those same lines. Too much so to consider a money line play. PASS.

Against the spread

SOUTH DAKOTA STATE -5.5 (-120) won each of the regular-season meetings by 4 points, and you can expect another close shave here. However, the fact this game is in Sioux Falls gives the Jackrabbits all the advantage they need to get back to the NCAA Tournament.

Over/Under

The OVER 149.5 (-115) is the way to go, especially in South Dakota State games. The Jackrabbits have scored 79 or more points in nine straight outings and have cashed the Over in three of their last four overall. The Over also hit in each of the two regular-season meetings with North Dakota State, with a total of 156 points in the Jan. 29 meetings, and 176 total points Dec. 30 in Fargo.

Denver at North Dakota State odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Denver Pioneers at North Dakota State Bison odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets in a Summit League battle.

The Denver Pioneers (9-16, 5-7 Summit) tussle with the North Dakota State Bison (15-8, 7-4) in a Saturday matinee in Fargo, N.D. The contest at Scheels Center is slated to tip off at 2 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Denver vs. North Dakota State odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Denver has allowed 75.6 points per game over its last eight contests and yielded a 36.8% mark from beyond the arc over that span. But the Pioneers snapped a two-game skid behind an 81-79 overtime win as 1-point road favorites at North Dakota Thursday. G KJ Hunt had a career-high 32 points in the victory.

North Dakota State defeated Nebraska-Omaha 71-64 Thursday but failed to cover the spread as a 16-point home favorite. The Bison shot 46.9% from the field in the win. They have shot 49.5% over their last four games and are 4-1 in their last five games.

NDSU took the season’s first head-to-head meeting 87-69 in Denver Jan. 10.

Denver at North Dakota State odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

North Dakota State 73, Denver 60

Money line

This one is priced best for the house. LOOK ELSEWHERE.

Against the spread

North Dakota State has the much better defense in this matchup. With the Pioneers hitting just three 3’s in the Jan. 10 meeting, the Bison easily covered a 5.0-point spread. NDSU led 44-23 at the half.

Denver likely needs to triple up on its distance production to get within 10 in this game in Fargo, but defending the perimeter is a strength for North Dakota State.

BACK THE BISON -11.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The Under is 4-1 in NDSU’s last five games as the Bison have improved their defensive efficiency numbers of late.

Both teams play at a slower-than-average pace, and both hit the defensive boards while struggling to get second-chance points.

BACK THE UNDER 138.5 (-110).

North Dakota State at TCU: Three things to know

After an 0-5 SU start, North Dakota State has rattled off a pair of victories against South Dakota and rival North Dakota. While their overall record isn’t terribly attractive, they do have covers in losses to ranked teams Creighton and Kansas. In fact, they only lost by four in Lawrence against the Jayhawks on Dec. 5, easily covering a 25-point number.
TCU has losses to Providence and Oklahoma, but there’s no shame in those games. They also won on the road against Oklahoma State last time out, taking it outright as a five-point underdog. In fact, they have won each of their past two as a ‘dog, also topping Texas A&M on a neutral court. The Over is 4-1 in the past five for TCU.
North Dakota State has struggled on offense, posting just 60.9 PPG to rank 315th in the nation, while hitting just 39.0 from the field. The one thing they’re very good at doing is hitting free throws, going 77.3 percent from the charity stripe.

North Dakota State at TCU: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

TCU 71, North Dakota State 62

Money line (ML)

TCU (-900) will cost you nine times your potential return, and that’s risky behavior. North Dakota State’s (+575) near-miss at Kansas should serve as a cautionary tale. This is a team capable of springing an upset, and they’re not intimidated playing on the road against top teams. AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)

NORTH DAKOTA STATE +12 (-115) has hit against the number in four of the past five, including those covers against KU and Creighton. Meanwhile, TCU is just 2-2 SU and 1-3 ATS in four games on their home floor so far this season. Look for another non-cover for the Frogs.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 128.5 (-110) is worth a small-unit bet, although it won’t be a terribly high-scoring affair. The Over has connected in four of the past five at home for TCU, including its past three at home.
