[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Dayton Flyers (22-6, 12-4 Atlantic-10) and Saint Louis Billikens (11-18, 4-12) tussle Tuesday night. Tip-off from Chaifetz Arena will be at 9 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook ‘s lines around the Dayton vs. Saint Louis odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and best bets.

Dayton lost at Loyola-Chicago Friday and has dropped out of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll after spending 7 weeks mostly ranked in the teens. The favored-by-1 Flyers were undone by 20 turnovers in a 77-72 loss to the Ramblers. UD has lost 3 straight road games.

Saint Louis snapped a 4-game against-the-spread (ATS) losing streak Saturday. The Billikens, who were 2½-point underdogs, won 94-91 at the Rhode Island Rams.

SLU heads into Tuesday’s contest looking to avenge a 70-65 loss in Dayton Jan. 16.

Dayton at Saint Louis picks and predictions

Prediction

Dayton 81, Saint Louis 67

Moneyline

Avoid the extra juice here; PASS.

Against the spread

SLU covered as a +12 in the Jan. 16 contest at UD and defeated these Flyers 65-61 at home March 3, 2023. But the public looks to be overvaluing the Billikens in this spot and over-weighing Dayton’s recent road setbacks.

Across its last 20 games against teams with losing records, UD is 14-6 ATS. SLU is 5-11 ATS in A-10 games and 0-5 ATS when looking to avenge a road loss.

The 3 recent road losses for the Flyers are marked — in order — by outlier poor distance shooting, outlier poor shooting inside the arc and outlier ballhandling. After its last 3 road losses, Dayton has responded with an ATS win.

Recent double-digit home losses to VCU Feb. 16 and Richmond Wednesday don’t bode well for Saint Louis. The Rams and Spiders are outside the KenPom top 75; UD currently sits at No. 27.

BACK THE FLYERS -8.5 (-110).

Over/Under

This series has seen 3 straight Unders and the Under going 5-1 across the last 6 meetings.

SLU plays at a fast pace, and UD plays at a slow one. Both teams can drill 3s at a healthy rate, but peg the Billikens as being due some accuracy regression in that department. Look for the Flyers to button up on turnovers, especially against a Saint Louis 5 that ranks as bottom 60 in frequency of turnovers forced, according to BartTorvik.com.

Consider a partial-unit play on the UNDER 151.5 (-110).

Dayton at Saint Louis picks and predictions

Prediction

Saint Louis 73, Dayton 69

Moneyline

With the Billikens posting a 14-3 record at home this season, SAINT LOUIS (-105) feels like the correct choice here.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

SAINT LOUIS +1.5 (-115) is the pick with the moneyline potentially having more value with it being a small spread. The Flyers are a mediocre 5-5 on the road and 4-4 ATS as road favorites this season.

The home team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings and the underdog is 29-12 ATS in the last 41 meetings between these programs.

Over/Under

Even with Dayton playing at a slower pace, OVER 137.5 (-110) is the bet in this matchup. The teams combined average 144.9 points per game and they both are hitting 35% or more of their 3-point attempts.

Saint Louis at Dayton picks and predictions

Prediction

Dayton 70, Saint Louis 62

Moneyline

PASS.

Even though Dayton is expected to secure the victory at home, taking the Flyers straight up at the current odds (-240) isn’t worth the risk or return.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

Following a fantastic road win over the top team in the conference in VCU on Tuesday, DAYTON -5.5 (-105) is where I’m leaning in this matchup. The Flyers are 12-1 at home this season.

The Billikens are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a winning record and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Meanwhile, the Flyers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600.

Over/Under

UNDER 136.5 (-110) is the play for the total with how formidable Dayton’s defense is. The Flyers are limiting opposing teams to only 61.4 points per game (15th in the nation), while they also average only 66.9 possessions per game (324th in the nation).

Saint Louis has gone Under in 6 of its 11 conference games. Meanwhile, Dayton is 7-5 to the Under in its 12 conference games.

VCU at Saint Louis odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s VCU at Saint Louis odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The VCU Rams (17-6, 8-2 Atlantic 10) visit the Saint Louis Billikens (15-7, 7-2) on Friday with tip from Chaifetz Arena set for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the VCU vs. Saint Louis odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

VCU took down Davidson 61-59 on Tuesday, but failed to cover as 4-point road favorites and has not covered in 2 straight games. VCU is 6-2 against the spread (ATS) in the last 8 games and is 9-12-2 ATS this season. The Rams’ defense has been outstanding, holding opponents to 63.2 points per game (tied for 29th-best in the nation).

The Billikens fell 75-65 to Fordham on Tuesday and failed to cover as 4-point road favorites. The loss broke a 6-game winning streak for them. The Billikens are 3-2 ATS in their last 5 and 4-6 ATS in their last 10 to fall to 10-11 ATS on the season. Saint Louis’ strength is its defense where it holds opponents to just 40.2% shooting from the field (35th).

VCU at Saint Louis picks and predictions

Prediction

Saint Louis 65, VCU 63

Moneyline

BET SAINT LOUIS (-155).

Saint Louis has played well at home this season with a 10-2 home record while 3 of VCU’s 6 losses have come on the road. While both teams have had an impressive 10-game stretch, the home-court advantage will prove to be too much for VCU on Friday.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

LEAN VCU +2.5 (-105).

VCU should be expected to keep this game close. The Rams are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games, 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following an outright win, and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a winning straight up record.

On the other hand, the Billikens are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 game against a team with a winning percentage of .600 or higher and only 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a winning straight up record.

The underdog is also 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings between these 2 programs.

While Saint Louis should take this game, VCU +2.5 (-105) is worth a play.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 141.5 (-115).

The Under is 5-1 in the Rams last 6 games overall and 4-1 in their last 5 games following a straight up win.

For Saint Louis, the Under is 5-0 in its last 5 Friday games and the Under is 10-3 in its last 13 games against a team with a winning straight up record.

Saint Louis at Memphis odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s Saint Louis at Memphis odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 16 Memphis Tigers (2-0) and Saint Louis Billikens (3-0) meet Tuesday at FedExForum in Memphis, Tennessee. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the home at away odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

In a battle of two undefeated teams, Memphis will enter as favorites behind head coach and former NBA star Penny Hardaway. He’s recruited top-tier talent, making Memphis one of the nation’s best teams.

It’s a young side though; the Tigers brought in two of the top-six recruits in the nation, PF Jalen Duren and SF Emoni Bates.

Facing a St. Louis team starting just two freshmen, Memphis should have its hands full, especially given the Billikens early-season success. They’ve won each of their first three games by 35 or more points.

Rankings courtesy of the Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Saint Louis at Memphis odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Memphis 70, Saint Louis 64

Money line

PASS on the money line with a slight “lean” to Saint Louis +470.

I think the Billikens are better than many think, and with a young Tigers team capable of making mistakes, an upset is certainly possible. However, I’d likely stay away from it and head towards the points for a better value.

Against the spread

BET on SAINT LOUIS +10.5 (-107) as the Billikens should be able to keep this game close.

They’ve been impressive so far this season and should contend for the Atlantic 10 title. It’s hard to side against a team like Memphis with two top-tier recruits.

However, sophomore Gibson Jimerson is averaging 18.7 points per game. A redshirt junior, Jimerson is the leader of this team, and hitting 43 percent from deep, he may be able to single-handedly keep them inside of double figures.

Saint Louis’s top-four scorers are all 6-foot-5 or taller, so they’ll have the size to compete. With Memphis coming off a disappointing eight-win season last year, I think they struggle against their most challenging opponent yet.

Over/Under

“LEAN” to the UNDER 143.5 (-110) as both sides may be troubled by the length of the other.

The top-six scorers for Memphis all stand 6-foot-5 or taller with Duren and Bates both at least 6-foot-9. Their size should give Saint Louis some difficulties.

Also, neither has faced a quality opponent, so finally having looks contended and getting ran off the three-point line could force more difficult shots and more misses.

The Tigers’ opponents rank 14th in field goal percentage. Expect a solid showing defensively from them. Saint Louis’ opponents rank 21st in field goal percentage, making under 33% of their shots.

This should be a relatively low-scoring game.

Saint Louis at Dayton odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Friday’s Saint Louis Billikens at Dayton Flyers odds and lines, with college basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Saint Louis Billikens (11-3 overall, 4-2 A-10) visit the Dayton Flyers (11-7, 7-6) Friday night for an Atlantic-10 Conference tilt. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET at UD Arena. Below, we analyze the Saint Louis-Dayton college basketball odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

No A-10 teams are ranked in the Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports. The Billikens sit fifth in the A-10, two-and-a-half games behind first-place VCU.

The Flyers, who were 29-2 overall and a perfect 18-0 in conference play last season before the NCAA COVID-19 shutdown, are in eighth place. Behind current New York Knicks PF Obi Toppin – the 2020 NBA Draft’s No. 8 overall pick – the Flyers were ranked No. 3 in the country and likely would have been a No. 1 seed in last season’s NCAA Tournament had it not been canceled.

Saint Louis at Dayton: Three things to know

Dayton, which was a 9-point underdog, won at Saint Louis 76-71 in the season’s first meeting between the A-10 rivals with senior G Jalen Crutcher scoring a game-high 27 points. The Flyers led wire-to-wire as the Billikens played their first game in 33 days following a COVID-19 pause.
Saint Louis enters on a 4-game win streak, going 4-1 since the loss to Dayton. The Billikens are 3-1 ATS in the four wins, outscoring opponents by 16.8 points per game. They beat La Salle 78-57 Tuesday, covering the spread as 16-point home favorites. Senior G Javonte Perkins was the Billikens’ top scorer in five of their last six games and averages a team-best 17.9 PPG.
Dayton suffered a heartbreaking 91-89 double-overtime loss at Rhode Island Tuesday. The Flyers covered the spread as 3-point underdogs but blew a 59-44 lead with 8:29 to go in regulation. On the bright side, freshman F Zimi Nwokeji scored a career-high 29 points. For the season, Crutcher leads UD in scoring (18.9 PPG) and assists (4.8 APG).

Saint Louis at Dayton: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Saint Louis 67, Dayton 65

Money line (ML)

PASS. Dayton (+220) is tempting. The Flyers have won the last six at home in this series. But this isn’t your typical “good” Dayton squad, and Saint Louis will be focused on avenging last month’s loss.

However, the Billikens’ -275 ML price is too high.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

DAYTON +5.5 (+100) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager. While the Billikens are in a groove, riding a 4-game win streak, the Flyers get the nod with this being their Senior Night.

Seniors Crutcher, G Rodney Chatman, G Ibi Watson and C Jordy Tshimanga have meant so much to the UD program. It’s hard to imagine the Flyers not playing one of their best games of the season.

ATS: Saint Louis 9-5 | Dayton 10-8

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 136.5 (-110) is the way to go. Saint Louis’ defense ranks 38th in the country, allowing 63.6 PPG. It has surrendered just 54.0 PPG in its last four games. The Flyers only score 69.3 PPG and yield 67.2 PPG.

Expect a low-scoring slugfest.

The La Salle Explorers (8-12 overall, 5-8 A-10) take on the Saint Louis Billikens (10-3, 3-2) Tuesday in St. Louis. Tip-off is set for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the La Salle-Saint Louis college basketball odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

Against the spread/ATS: La Salle +15.5 (-110) | Saint Louis -15.5 (-110)
Over/Under: 143.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

La Salle at Saint Louis: Three things to know

La Salle limps into this one on a 1-4 SU/2-2-1 ATS slide across the past five. The good news for the Explorers is that their only win during the span was an 82-75 win as 12.5-point underdogs against the Billikens in Philadelphia Feb. 3.
Since that setback to La Salle, SLU has registered three straight victories, including two by 11 or more points. After allowing 82 points to the Explorers, uncharacteristic for the Billikens, they have yielded just 53.0 points per game across the past three.
La Salle has posted a 7-0-1 ATS mark in its past eight games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Saint Louis has covered just two of its past seven overall, and it’s 5-12 ATS in the past 17 against teams with a losing overall mark.

La Salle at Saint Louis: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Saint Louis 73, La Salle 63

Money line (ML)

Saint Louis (-2000) will cost you way too much as opposed to your potential return. While La Salle (+1000) did pull the upset against the Billikens a couple of weeks ago, that served as a wake-up call and SLU has been playing much batter lately. PASS.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

LA SALLE +15.5 (-110) is the play. As mentioned, it won the first meeting outright as a 12.5-point underdog. Saint Louis will return the favor Tuesday night, but La Salle will grab the cover. The Explorers enter 5-0-1 ATS in their six games overall this season as double-digit underdogs. Along with the win vs. Saint Louis, La Salle claimed upsets at Richmond and at Dayton.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 143.5 (-110) is the lean, even though the teams combined for 157 points Feb. 3 with an O/U line of just 140. In St. Louis, we should get a much better defensive effort. Since that loss to La Salle, SLU has ripped off three straight Under results, including allowing just 40 points last time out at Fordham. The Billikens rank 44th in the nation with just 64.1 PPG, so the Under is usually the rule in their games.

Saint Louis at Fordham: Three things to know

The Billikens have won nine of 10 games at home this season, but they’re 0-2 SU/ATS on the road. Saint Louis was favored in each of the two road outings, including an 82-75 loss at La Salle as a 12.5-point favorite Feb. 3. Saint Louis is 1-5 ATS in the past six overall.
Fordham won its most recent home game, topping La Salle 76-68 as a 5.5-point underdog Feb. 6. The Rams are 2-3 SU/ATS in the past five games at home. They’re also a respectable 4-2 ATS in the past six, and 5-1 ATS in the past six as double-digit underdogs.
These teams met last season Jan. 26, 2020 with the Billikens coming away with a 55-39 win as 14.5-point favorites. The Under (119) easily connected that day.

Saint Louis at Fordham: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Saint Louis 68, Fordham 54

Money line (ML)

Saint Louis (-3000) has had two road games to date, losing both despite being the favorite each time. It’s a rather small sample size, but you can’t lay 30 times your potential return with a history like that. AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)

FORDHAM +16.5 (-110) is a tough sell. The Rams have really struggled, not only this season, but for the better part of the past three decades. Fordham has won 13 or fewer games in a season 24 times in the past 28 campaigns. So, taking the Rams plus the points is really hard to do, but the way Saint Louis has played on the road, plus Fordham’s success as a double-digit dog makes the Rams the play here.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 127.5 (-110) is the lean here as Fordham has really struggled to score the basketball. The Rams rank 347th in the nation with 53.0 points per game. The good news is that the Rams are decent defensively, allowing 67.6 PPG. We should have another low-scoring game in this series.

Rhode Island at Saint Louis: Three things to know

URI is coming off a 75-63 home loss against UMass. The Rams are on a three-game losing streak while going 1-2 ATS since their last win at La Salle Jan. 27. The Rams are also 2-4 straight up and 2-4 ATS across the past six overall.
Saint Louis posted a 70-59 win over St. Bonaventure as a four-point home favorite Saturday. SLU is just 2-3 SU/1-4 ATS across the past five games overall, but an impressive 8-1 SU/7-2 ATS in nine games at home.
The home team has posted a 5-2 ATS mark in the past seven meetings in this series, with the favorite cashing in six of the previous eight.

Rhode Island at Saint Louis: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Saint Louis 73, Rhode Island 63

Money line (ML)

Saint Louis (-400) should be able to ease past URI in this A-10 battle, but risking four times your potential return is just not a good long-term betting strategy. AVOID and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread (ATS)

SAINT LOUIS -8.5 (+100) is laying a heavy number, but SLU will on its home floor and a good bet at even-money. The Billikens are just 1-4 ATS across the past five, but the trends point to the favorite and home team posting the cover in this series. Plus, the sub-.500 Rams aren’t exactly crushing it against the number either, going 4-7 ATS over the previous 11.

Over/Under (O/U)

The lean is to the UNDER 138.5 (-110). URI has hit the Under in five straight, going for 63 or fewer points on offense in four of the previous five. The Over is 8-3 in SLU’s 11 games overall this season, but the Under did cash in its most recent win over the Bonnies, and the Over/Under has split 2-2 in its past four.
