College Basketball Picks

Kentucky has been in this situation many times before and is expected to put the game away very quickly. The longer Abilene Christian hangs around — which might be longer than people think — the more difficult it will be for Kentucky to get separation and score the comfortable victory that’s expected here. Translation, Kentucky scoring early takes their soul and gets Kentucky bettors the -22 point cover.

Nevada can cover the -2.5 if Cody and Caleb Martin both play a good game. The Martin brothers have obviously been the leaders for this Wolfpack team and between them they lead the Wolfpack in nearly every offensive category. in 3 of their 4 losses this season, at least one of the Martin brothers have failed to score more than 10 points illustrating that both need to be scoring if they want to continue winning. Matt breaks down the matchup and their potential to score the ball tonight.

The Colgate Raiders take on the Tennessee Volunteers tonight and Matt Lowry takes on the sportsbooks and gives you his college basketball prediction. Colgate is up against a big time team in Tennessee but Volunteer backers are up against a big time spread of 17.5. Can the Vols cover a big number coming off a shellacking at the hands of Auburn?

The first thing to notice about these two teams, is that they score a boatload of points. Kansas has seen the total go over in 7 of the last 10 games and 5 of the last 6. As for the Huskies, the over is 5-5 in their last 10 and 3-2 in their last 5. Both of these two teams last games have gone over the current over under total line of 143. Is that enough to look hard at a pick on the over? Matt Lowry breaks it down!

The Bradley Braves take on the Michigan State Spartans as huge 18.5 point underdogs this afternoon at 2:45pm. Matt Lowry breaks down the matchup, the sportsbook’s monster spread and gives his pick on the total of 133.5.
