2020 Pac-12 College Basketball Tournament odds and betting futures

Analyzing the 2020 Pac-12 Tournament odds and futures, with sports betting picks, tips and best bets.

The 2020 Pac-12 Conference Tournament starts Wednesday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The tournament features four games Wednesday, and four more battles Thursday. The Oregon Ducks earned the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament, while UCLA, Arizona State and USC also secured first-round byes as the next three top seeds. Below, we look at the futures odds to win the Pac-12 tournament, which has eight teams tipping off the action Wednesday.

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Wednesday, March 11 at 10:20 a.m. ET.

2020 Pac-12 odds: Oregon Ducks (+175)

Regular season record: (24-7, 13-5 Pac-12)

The Ducks were the class of the Pac-12, scratching out a regular-season conference title. While that’s all well and good, they were a perfect 17-0 at home, but just 7-7 in their 14 games either on the road or on a neutral-site court. Oregon rolls into the tourney on a 4-0 straight up and against the spread run, and they’re 6-1 SU/ATS across their past seven games, with only a loss at Arizona State in the mix.

Get some action on this event or others by placing a bet at BetMGM.

G Payton Pritchard is a stud, rolling up 20.5 points and 5.5 assists per game this season. The Ducks are among the best 3-point shooting teams in the nation, hitting at a 39.6% clip from behind the arc.

The FAVORITE IS WORTH A BET AT +175, as Oregon is playing better ball than anyone in the conference.

2020 Pac-12 odds: Arizona Wildcats (+340)

Regular-season record: (20-11, 10-8 Pac-12)

The Wildcats have rather short odds considering they stumbled hard down the stretch. Arizona dropped four of its final five regular-season games, also going 1-4 ATS during the run.

There is just no value here, as the Wildcats are ice cold. ARIZONA IS A TERRIBLE PLAY AT +340, AVOID.

2020 Pac-12 odds: Colorado Buffaloes (+350)

Regular-season record: (21-10, 10-8 Pac-12)

The Buffaloes were at or near the top of the Pac-12 standings all season, but they ended the campaign on a four-game skid, and they failed to cover in five straight and eight of their final nine games. Confidence is EXTREMELY low they’ll win one game in the tourney, let alone a championship. AVOID.

2020 Pac-12 odds: UCLA Bruins (+600)

Regular-season record: (19-12, 12-6 Pac-12)

The Bruins really got their act together down the stretch, winning seven in a row before losing a defensive nail-biter at USC in the regular-season finale. The Bruins might need a win to feel more confident on Selection Sunday, and it’s possible this team is one of the First Four teams. A conference title would go a long way in seeding, and they’re playing the second-best basketball of anyone in the conference besides Oregon. A SMALL-UNIT PLAY AT +600 IS WARRANTED.

2020 Pac-12 odds: Arizona State Sun Devils (+800)

Regular-season record: (20-11, 11-7 Pac-12)

The Sun Devils dropped three in a row at UCLA, at USC and at home against lowly Washington, splashing cold water on their momentum after a seven-game winning streak from Feb. 1-22. The Sun Devils are a very mediocre team who will be NIT-bound barring a championship. It’s not happening. AVOID.

2020 Pac-12 odds: USC Trojans (+1200)

Regular-season record: (22-9, 11-7 Pac-12)

The Trojans are a tremendous sleeper most people give little credit. They rattled off a three-game winning streak against Arizona, Arizona State and UCLA to close out the season, and if you’re looking for a mid-tier value, they’re it. They lost their only meeting against Oregon in Eugene Jan. 23, but they took the Ducks to overtime before falling 79-70. USC IS A TREMENDOUS VALUE WITH UPSIDE AT +1200.

2020 Pac-12 odds: Stanford Cardinal (+1500)

Regular-season record: (20-11, 9-9 Pac-12)

The Cardinal split the season series with Oregon, they split with Colorado and they also had a win at UCLA, while losing an OT thriller at USC. Stanford has a strong defense, and it slows it down with a methodical offense. The Cardinal are a good 3-point shooting team when they do hoist them up, and they’re accurate from the floor. A SMALL-UNIT PLAY AT +1500 ISN’T A WASTE OF MONEY.

2020 Pac-12 odds: Oregon State Beavers (+5000)

Regular-season record: (17-13, 7-11 Pac-12)

The Beavers topped the top-seeded Ducks by a 63-53 count, but could they do it in Vegas? They were swept by Arizona State, but played them tough, too. The Beavers can hang around and be a pain, but they’re likely one-and-done after running out of steam in the second half. AVOID.

2020 Pac-12 odds: Washington Huskies (+5000)

Regular-season record: (15-16, 5-13 Pac-12)

Washington stunned Arizona State and Arizona on the road to close out the regular season, and has the talent to give anyone fits, but can they go 4-for-4 to win a title? Nah. AVOID.

2020 Pac-12 odds: Utah Utes (+7000)

Regular-season record: (16-14, 7-11 Pac-12)

The Utes ended the season on a high note, adding to Colorado’s woes. They upset USC Feb. 23, but they also lost to California, and were dusted by Oregon State. Utah is too inconsistent, thus the long odds. AVOID.

2020 Pac-12 odds: Washington State Cougars (+7000)

Regular-season record: (15-16, 6-12 Pac-12)

The Cougs closed the season on a 1-6 SU/3-4 ATS run in the final seven regular-season games. They have wins against Arizona State, Oregon and UCLA this season, but they were also swept by Cal and Stanford. AVOID.

2020 Pac-12 odds: California Bears (+8000)

Regular-season record: (13-18, 7-11 Pac-12)

The Bears won just three of their final 10 games, and they closed out the season with a 24-point loss in Oregon and 18-point loss in Oregon State. There’s a reason they have the worst odds. They’re skidding hard. AVOID.

Washington State at Arizona college basketball odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Thursday’s Washington State Cougars at Arizona Wildcats sports betting odds and lines, with college basketball betting picks.

The Washington State Cougars (15-14, 6-10 Pac-12) visit the Arizona Wildcats (19-10, 9-7) Thursday in a Pac-12 contest in Tucson’s McKale Memorial Center. Tip-off is set for 10:30 p.m. ET. We analyze the Washington State-Arizona odds and betting lines, with college basketball betting advice and tips around this matchup.

Washington State at Arizona: Three things you need to know

  1. This matchup consists of a couple teams who have piled up some losses of late. Arizona has lost three in a row, and the Wildcats offense, which averaged 81.6 points per game through Jan. 18, has averaged 61.3 PPG during the dry spell. Washington State is coming off a 78-74 win over rival Washington, but that victory was preceded by four straight losses.
  2. Arizona has had a couple home-court setbacks of late, with losses to UCLA (Feb. 8) and Oregon (Feb. 22) over the last few weeks. The latter was an overtime game against a quality Ducks team. The former was on an uncharacteristic shooting night for both the Wildcats and Bruins. In 15 home games, Arizona is 12-3 against the spread.
  3. The Wildcats have exhibited some struggles against teams with a solid mid-range game and who perform well on the offensive boards. Wazzou’s makeup doesn’t fit either bill. A weakness on the Cougars’ side, however — running into trouble against proficient outside shooting teams — is a facet of the game in Arizona’s wheelhouse. UA ranks 37th in the nation in home-court 3-point accuracy 38.8%. The Wildcats have shot 45.5% from distance over their last two games at McKale Memorial Center.

Washington State at Arizona: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 10:50 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Arizona 80, Washington State 64

Moneyline (ML)

We expect Arizona to win rather handily, but the -1667 odds aren’t worth an investment no matter your degree of confidence in the Wildcats. PASS.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on Arizona to win returns a profit of just $0.60.

Against the Spread (ATS)

WSU is 2-7 ATS on the road and 5-9 ATS after a win. Arizona is 3-1 ATS when returning home after multiple road games.

ARIZONA -14.5 (-110) is a line offering just enough wiggle room to make it worthy of a play.

Over/Under (O/U)

In those same UA “homecoming” games, the Over has gone 4-0.

The total for Thursday is three points lower than it was for this season’s first meeting — in Pullman, Wash., Feb. 1 — between WSU and UA. BACK THE OVER 140.5 (+105).

Oregon at Washington State college basketball odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Thursday’s Oregon Ducks at Washington State Cougars sports betting odds and lines, with college basketball betting picks and tips

The Oregon Ducks (14-3, 3-1 Pac-12) and Washington State Cougars (10-7, 1-3 Pac-12) square off at Wallis Beasley Performing Arts Coliseum in Pullman at 9 p.m. ET Thursday. We analyze the Oregon-Washington State odds and betting lines, while providing college basketball betting tips and advice on this matchup.

The Ducks are ranked eighth in the USA TODAY Sports men’s basketball coaches poll.

Oregon at Washington State: Three things you need to know

1. Oregon heads into this one ranked 40th in the nation with 78.2 points per game (PPG), while ranking 12th overall in field-goal percentage (48.4). They’re also 10th in the country in 3-point shooting percentage (39.4).

2. Ducks G Payton Pritchard continues to tear it up, rolling up 19.2 PPG, 5.9 assists per game (APG) and 1.8 steals per contest to lead the team. For the Cougars, F CJ Elleby is their stud with 18.4 PPG, 6.7 rebounds per game (RPG) and 1.8 steals per game (SPG).

3. Washington State is horrible on offense, ranking 333rd in the nation in field-goal percentage (39.7) and 316th in 3-point shooting percentage (29.6).

Oregon at Washington State: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 12:25 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Oregon 86, Washington State 69

Moneyline (ML)

The Ducks (-500) are heavy road favorites, but there’s no sense in placing a bet here as a $10 wager on Oregon to win outright will return a profit of just $2. It’s not worth even the minimal risk. PASS and look to the spread.

Against the Spread (ATS)

OREGON (-9.5, -106) is the play on the road despite the fact they’re laying nearly double digits. The Ducks have covered the spread in 12 of their past 14 games on the road, and they’re 22-6 ATS in the past 28 games overall. The favorite has also hit in five of the past seven in this series, so the arrow points squarely at the Ducks.

On the flip side, Washington State (+9.5, -115) is 1-4 ATS in the past five games overall, and just 3-10 ATS in the past 13 as a dog. The Cougars are also 4-10 ATS in the previous 14 against teams with a winning overall mark.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 139.5 (-110) looks awfully tasty in this one. The Ducks have a high-octane offense capable of throwing up some serious points. The Cougars, they’re the concern here, as they’re pretty pathetic shooting the rock. However, in a potential blowout, they should get some garbage points late against reserves.

The Over is 12-3-1 in Oregon’s last 16 games overall, and 5-1-1 in their past seven on the road. The Over is 5-2 in Wazzu’s past seven overall, too.

Washington State at Washington odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Friday’s Washington State Cougars at Washington Huskies sports betting odds and lines, with college football betting picks.

We analyze the Washington State-Washington odds and betting lines, while providing college football betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Washington State at Washington: Three things you need to know

1. The Huskies have won the last six matchups between the two teams. This will be the 112th game between the two schools.

2. Washington State QB Anthony Gordon had 606 passing yards and six touchdown passes in a win over Oregon State last week.

Washington State at Washington: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 6 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Washington 33, Washington State 30

Moneyline (ML)

AVOID. Washington is likely going to win, even with a close game. However, there is no value to take the Huskies at -304. Washington State is an incredible value at +240 but its better to go with the spread in this rivalry game.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Washington returns a profit of $3.29.

Against the Spread (ATS)

Washington is favored by 7.5 points. Washington State is not a reliable pick against the spread looking at the whole season, covering the spread in four of 11 games. However, they have covered the spread in three of their last five, while Washington has covered in only two of six.

Washington has a top defense and Washington State has a high-flying offense. In this rivalry game, it should be close. Take WASHINGTON STATE (+7.5, -110) to cover.

Over/Under (O/U)

The total is set at 63.5 points. The Cougars can move the ball and score points. The Huskies have struggled offensively but have a top-30 defense in the country. Games featuring Washington State have gone over the point total in seven of 11 games, while the Huskies have hit the over in six of 11 outings. This game will be really close to the projected total. Both teams will score point but the total will come just short. Go with the UNDER (-115).

Oregon State at Washington State odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s Oregon State Beavers at Washington State Cougars sports betting odds and lines, with college football picks and tips.

In Week 13 of the 2019 college football season, the Oregon State Beavers (5-5) will travel to Clarence D. Martin Stadium to take on the Washington State Cougars (5-5) in a Pac-12 matchup Saturday at 9 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Oregon State-Washington State odds and betting lines, while providing college football betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Oregon State vs. Washington State: Three things you need to know

1. Oregon State has lost its last five games against Washington State.

2. Oregon State has won just three of its previous 20 games on the road.

3. Washington State has been fantastic at home over the last few seasons, winning 17 of its last 19 home games.

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 12:00 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Washington State 42, Oregon State 28

Moneyline (ML)

WASHINGTON STATE (-400) opens this contest as a big moneyline favorite after having a ton of success at Clarence D. Martin Stadium. Oregon State (+305) just isn’t a good road teamand likely won’t be able to hang around for long in this contest. Expect Washington State to win comfortably.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Washington State returns a profit of $2.50.

Against the Spread (ATS)

WASHINGTON STATE (-10.5, -110) is a two-score favorite at home over Oregon State in this Pac-12 showdown and for good reason. The Cougars have one of the best offenses in college football, averaging over 40 points per contest. Given Oregon State’s defense is ranked 96th in points allowed per game, expect Washington State to cover the spread relatively easily.

Over/Under (O/U)

The total is set at 75.5, which seems about right considering it will feature a Mike Leach-led team, but the number seems a little too high despite both teams averaging over 30 points per game. Take the UNDER (-115) in this contest.

Stanford-Washington State odds: Cougars double-digit fave at home

Previewing Saturday’s Stanford Cardinal at Washington State Cougars college football matchup, with NCAA football betting odds, picks and best bets

The Stanford Cardinal (4-5, 3-4 Pac-12 North) visits the Washington State Cougars (4-5, 1-5) Saturday at 4:30 p.m. (on the Pac-12 Network).

We analyze the Stanford-Washington odds and betting lines, while providing college football betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Stanford at Washington State: Three things you need to know

1. Stanford hasn’t had much success against Washington State over the last five years, failing to cover the spread in each of their previous five contests.

2. Stanford has had success in the win/loss column, however, coming away with a victory in eight of the last 11 meetings between the two sides.

3. Washington State is currently in the midst of a massive slump as it has lost four of its previous five games.

Stanford at Washington State: Odds, betting lines and picks

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

Prediction

Washington State 35, Stanford 24

Moneyline (ML)

WASHINGTON STATE (-400) opens this game as a pretty significant home favorite over Stanford (+300) despite both teams having just four wins apiece on the season. However, with Washington State averaging close to 40 points per game this season, it’s tough to envision a scenario in which Stanford can ultimately win this game. While it could be close, expect the Cougars to ultimately take home the win at home.

New to sports betting? A $40 wager on Washington State returns a profit of $10.

Against the Spread (ATS)

WASHINGTON STATE (-10.5) is the play here. While Washington State has recently struggled against conference opponents, Stanford is struggling to find any consistency on offense as it has dealt with multiple injuries on that side of the ball. Expect this game to be close for a while, but for the Cougars to eventually cover the spread.

Over/Under (O/U)

The O/U is 63.5 (-106, –115), which would usually feel low considering a contest featuring a Mike Leach-led team. However, Stanford has one of the worst offenses in college football, averaging less than 22 points per game. Expect Washington State to do a lot of scoring, but for the UNDER to hit in this contest.
