Today’s Bets
*All lines via FanDuel. Please bet responsibly.*
Indiana +7.5 vs. Kansas
We played this angle a few times last Saturday and it worked out well. Kansas is playing their first true road game against an opponent that just got absolutely smashed by Auburn their last time out. Did you know Mike Woodson is 6-2 at home against ranked opponents, too? Take the candy with the candy stripes.
Michigan State +2.5 vs. Baylor
This line STINKS. Back against the wall game for Sparty in Detroit against an undefeated Baylor team. Sparty has looked horrendous and Baylor has looked spectacular. And the line is only 2.5? Hold your nose and take the Izzo’s.
Memphis -2.5 vs. Clemson
General principle game. The top-15 team is an underdog on the road against an unranked team that shouldn’t be unranked. Lay the points with the blue tigers.
Valparaiso -3.5 Chicago State
Classic letdown spot for Chicago State after their massive win over Northwestern. It’s not personal, it’s just college basketball.
West Virginia -2.5 vs. UMass
The injection of talent WVU just got is insane. Kerr Kriisa, RaeQuan Battle and Noah Farrakhan are all back. Akok Akok is healthy and Jesse Edwards is the best player on the floor. I’ll take the ‘Neers in a game they’re juiced to play.
Saint Mary’s -5.5 vs. UNLV
Let down spot for the Rebels after their big win over Creighton. Now you have to turn around and play a Saint Mary’s team that is turning the corner? Lay the points.
Creighton -6.5 vs. Alabama
Flip the script and we’ve got a bounce back spot for Creighton. Alabama has no answer for Kalkbrenner and the guards are good enough to keep pace with Sears and Estrada. Lay the points.
