Creighton Bluejays vs Baylor Bears Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/24/25

It’s Feast Week, and the college basketball will be coming at us fast all week long! We get started early on Monday, and one of those early games features the Creighton Bluejays and the Baylor Bears in Las Vegas as part of the Player’s Era Tournament. Both Creighton and Baylor have eased into the season, playing only 3 games so far. Both teams are 3-0, and Monday will be the measuring stick for both. Each side is almost entirely rebuilt this year, so this is a big week for these teams to see where they are nationally. Baylor opens as a -4.5 favorite. I think it has a higher ceiling, so I am going to back the Bears.

Baylor famously lost its entire roster from last season, so head coach Scott Drew had to start over from scratch. Along with a host of transfers, Drew also convinced star freshman guard Tounde Yessoufou to join him in Waco. Yessoufou will be another in the long line of Baylor’s one-and-done guards, and he is very talented. This Baylor offense will run through its guards and will struggle against good interior teams, but the Bears are also playing a version of the pack-line defense that makes them much better defensively than they usually are. Creighton lost its top 4 scorers from last year and rebuilt with a lot of depth in the portal. The Bluejays are deep, but the key player is probably Iowa transfer Josh Dix — who is an elite defender and a good outside shooter. I am concerned that Creighton got smoked by Gonzaga by nearly 30, though, and that has me eying the Bears in this spot.

Creighton vs Baylor prediction: Baylor -4.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
