Game Totals Pick

Under 154.0(-110)

Reasoning

The Wyoming Cowboys will travel to Lubbock on Sunday for a non-conference game against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Texas Tech is 5-2 on the season and will look to get another win here before playing back-to-back games against high major opponents. Wyoming is 6-1 but has yet to play against a high major opponent and should be in for a great challenge here. The Red Raiders are currently -21.5 but my best bet of the game is the under.

I like the under in this game because Wyoming has played well defensively through their seven games. The total is set for 154 points, and I think that is too much since Wyoming is solid on defense and Texas Tech does not play fast. According to KenPom, Wyoming’s defense is ranked #14 in effective field goal percentage and #1 three-point percentage. Texas Tech’s offense is ranked outside the top 100 in effective field goal percentage this season, so I do expect them to score on Wyoming easily. Texas Tech’s defense is ranked #31 in adjusted efficiency, so both teams should play well on that end of the floor.

Texas Tech does not play particularly fast, which gives the under even more juice. The Red Raiders are ranked #242 in adjusted tempo and should try to control the pace in this non-conference showdown. Take the under here.

*Under 154 available at time of publishing. Playable at 152*

Point Spread Pick

St. Bonaventure Win +4.5(-110)

Reasoning

It’s time for some Sunday hoops as St. Bonaventure gets set to take on FAU. The Bonnies have played well this season, with their only loss coming against UNC, a game they dropped by just 15 points. Their last game against ECU wasn’t the prettiest, shooting 40.7% from the floor, but their defense held ECU to just 29.1% shooting. The Bonnies will also look to get star guard Darryl Simmons II back on track after he finished with just three points on 1-for-10 shooting. On the season, Simmons is averaging 16.9 points and 1.7 rebounds per game.

As for FAU, they’ll look to bounce back from their loss to George Mason, where the Owls still shot a solid 43.9% from the floor. FAU doesn’t have that much depth, with only two players averaging double digits and leading this team in scoring is Kanaan Carlyle, who is averaging 16.6 points and 3.7 rebounds per game. Statistically, these teams match up well – the Bonnies average 75.6 points per game and shoot 46.3%, while FAU puts up 80 points per game and shoots 45.9%. Defensively, St. Bonaventure has the edge, allowing just 69 points per game compared to FAU’s 72. The Bonnies enter as slight underdogs, which makes sense given FAU’s shooting ability, and they’re tough to beat on their home court. Regardless, St. Bonaventure’s defense and slower pace should allow them to keep this game close to the very end.

St. Bonaventure vs FAU prediction: St. Bonaventure +4.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

Free College Basketball Picks Explained

With 353 Division I college basketball teams there are plenty of opportunities to find good value college basketball picks. With so many games played each day it is impossible for sportsbooks to get the lines correct for every single match. As sports bettors, this gives us a great opportunity to research the games, and find those edges to better serve our chances of long-term wagering success. That’s precisely what we do here at Pickswise. Our dedicated college basketball team covers every morsel of NCAAB action, leaving no stone unturned in the search for the best value picks for the top CBB action, and NCAA Basketball Futures, all of which are accompanied with full analysis, for free, only here at Pickswise.

Free College Basketball Picks Against The Spread (ATS)

One of the more popular college basketball wagers is betting against the spread (ATS). Against the spread betting isn’t just picking a winner of the basketball game, it’s about picking the team who will win by a set margin, known as covering the spread.

Let’s say you bet your money that Team A covers the spread (wins by a certain amount of points), Duke -6.5 for example. Or that Team B will cover the spread (keep the game closer than oddsmakers expect), Kentucky +6.5. If Duke beat Kentucky 64-60, then Kentucky would cover the spread, and underdog backers will cash their tickets on Kentucky +6.5 points.

The disparity is a big thing in many college basketball matchups and as such Moneyline betting will often see small odds about a favorite. Betting against the spread is very common, for this reason. It allows bettors to wager on the big favorites, who are expected to win, at better odds, but also the opportunity to bet the underdog. These are the main reasons why college basketball against the spread betting is so popular, but it is also one of our most popular college basketball picks on Pickswise. This is because knowing when an underdog might keep a game close or when potentially evenly matched teams might have blowout is very hard to predict without all the research, expertise, analysis and data our team has at its disposal.

Free College Basketball Totals Picks (Over/Under)

The other main NCAAB wager is the totals which are simply betting over or under a set number of points in a game. This market is seen to be one of the easier markets to beat the book if you can get to grips with some of the most important statistics which contribute to how many points will be scored in a ball game.

Some of the most important factors to consider when handicapping totals in basketball are the number of possessions per team in a game and the pace of play. Our experts at Pickswise consider these key angles as well as matchups, injuries, and betting trends to determine which side of the line has the best chance of hitting, and we have a strong record of getting this right.

CBB Picks

All of our CBB picks are posted right here on the college basketball picks page, all season long. Our experts post their top CBB picks, along with a detailed analysis including the key stats and matchups ahead of that game. Our CBB picks include a pick on the money line, spread, and totals for every match we cover, check them out today. we also have reliable College Basketball Predictions daily throughout the season.

College Basketball Parlay Picks

With so many games available to bet on there’s always great potential for College Basketball Parlays. You could make it a multi-game pick combining different money line or against the spread bets or you might want to get creative with other bet types within a single game parlay. Remember when you parlay you need all included bets to win to cash your wager, but with all those odds multiplied it can be very lucrative.

The statistical method for NCAA Basketball Picks

Just like pro sport teams, the college basketball teams that have success often take a very statistical approach to their decision making, so why wouldn’t you do the same for your bets on them?

At Pickswise we don’t believe in chance bets, our expert team comb through all the data, do all the analysis and provide all their research so you can have confidence in our College basketball picks.
