I will do my best to provide college basketball winners for you on a nightly basis. The majority of the nights we will try to keep it to three plays, but some days may ask for more. I recommend you play them individually .. however, never be scared of a little sniper parlay!
Season Record: 91-71
Season Best Bet Record: 35-18
1/9 Card:
Army +8
Howard PK
Oral Roberts +5
————————————
Army +8 : Best Bet of the night! The Black Knights could win this outright. Jalen Rucker is HOT right now. He scored 35 points last time out, and is averaging 22ppg through a 3-0 Patriot start. I like that this game is at Christl Arena. Army didn’t pull out a win against Colgate at home last season, but they scored 90 points on them and shot 55% from the field. Colgate’s defense is horrific this season, so we may see another offensive outburst from Army this year. The Raiders rank 267th in the country in defensive efficiency. Army will be in this game throughout, and may even win outright.
Score Prediction: Colgate 77 – Army 75
Howard PK : I like Howard to outscore MD Eastern Shore tonight. The Hawks are rated out as one of the worst offenses in the country. They are 346th in offensive efficiency. The Bison are finally fully healthy, and scored 84 points in route to a 20 point conference opening win. Howard’s problem comes on the defensive end where they rank 249th in the country. However, MD Eastern Shore is actually rated behind them on that end of the court as well (258th). The Bison will win this game behind the prowess of their offensive ability.
Score Prediction: Howard 70 – Maryland Eastern Shore 67
Oral Roberts +5 : My Golden Eagles have been fantastic this season. They have also been good to us ATS. 3-0 in games where we have taken them. I think tonight is a great spot. New Mexico is crashing back down to their baseline after an incredible 14-0 start, but the market is still grading them out highly. I think it is due to Vegas trying to trap people into catching a falling knife – “Surely, New Mexico wins and covers tonight after losing two in a row”. This ORU team is on a 10 game winning streak, and still carry a lot of the pieces from their 2021 NCAA Tournament run. I think Kareem Thompson could be a great defensive matchup to throw at Mashburn. If you can limit Mashburn, you can beat the Lobos. Also, the Lobos only had 6 guys play meaningful minutes last time out. Oral Roberts is deep. That could play a major factor. This will be a one possession game either way. I locked this in at 5 last night, and I might actually grab another unit at +6. I don’t like this as much as Army, but it’s pretty close.
Score Prediction: New Mexico 80 – Oral Roberts 78
Best of luck! Let’s snipe this one y’all!!
