College Basketball Betting Predictions

The sheer volume of NCAAB games on the schedule often means that sportsbooks can’t always set betting lines correctly on every game. Our team of basketball savants know how to evaluate games to find value in order to beat the bookies and that’s why our college previews, predictions and NCAAB picks are sought-after.

The highest level of intercollegiate athletics is the NCAA Division I (D-I) in the United States. D-I schools. By the last count, there are 350 schools that are full members of 32 Division I basketball conferences, plus seven more that are in transition from NCAA Division II and are members of D-I conferences. Alaska today remains the only U.S. state without a D-I school.

The top 25 basketball teams according to the Associated Press entering the season include the Gonzaga Bulldogs, Baylor Bears, Villanova Wildcats, Virginia Cavaliers, Iowa Hawkeyes, Kansas Jayhawks, Wisconsin Badgers, Illinois Fighting Illini, Duke Blue Devils, Kentucky Wildcats, Creighton Bluejays, and Tennessee Volunteers to name a few.

College Basketball Regular Season 2023

The College Basketball season started on November 25, and it’s expected to run through to April 5, when the National Championship takes place. The league looked towards college football to see how the NCAAF season unfolded for decisions about how to move forward with both Men’s and Women’s college basketball seasons.

Free College Basketball Picks ATS

College basketball picks against the spread are among THE most popular types of bets. In a league where the gap in quality, skill and talent level of teams varies significantly from college to college, spread betting is a great leveler that offers attractive angles for profit on both sides of the coin.

Betting point spreads isn’t about predicting the winner of a basketball game, it’s about picking the team that will cover the point spread. This becomes a great wager to consider in lopsided matchups that feature a really good team taking on a lesser team because it allows bettors to bank on underdogs to cover the spread with more confidence than they would have betting the straight up upset. Equally, it allows bettors to back favorites to cover the spread at more reasonable odds than they would find betting on the win in moneyline betting markets.

College Basketball Picks Moneyline

The most straightforward of any bets on sports is the moneyline bet, also known as straight up betting. In a nutshell, bettors pick the winner of a game. However, moneyline betting can be exhilarating when betting on the upset in NCAAB basketball. Correctly predicting an underdog to win a game usually sees bettors handsomely rewarded. In fact, that’s one of the main underlying appeals of moneyline betting.
