College Basketball 1/18

Baylor @ Oklahoma State (BAY -6, 125) 12 PM

Since December 1st, the Cowboys are 2-7 SU and ATS, losing those 7 games by an average of 17 points per loss. They have lost 4 in a row to begin 2020, including a 14 point home loss to West Virginia and a 12 point home loss to Texas. In comes the #2 team in the country who has won 13-0 SU and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games. While playing on the road in conference play can be a challenge for some teams, not the Baylor Bears. They proved they can win on the road by beating Texas Tech and Kansas on their opponents floors. The Cowboys will continue to struggle and this one could get ugly.

Bet: BAY -6
Confidence: 4 Units
Result: Baylor 75 Oklahoma State 68

West Virginia @ Kansas State (WV -6, 124) 2 PM

In a very similar game, the Mountaineers travel to Kansas State as 6 point favorites. Like the Cowboys, the Wildcats have been horrible lately. In their last 12 games they are 3-9 SU and 2-10 ATS. Meanwhile, West Virginia is 7-1 SU and ATS in their last 8 games and have won their last 3 games by double digits. This just doesn’t feel like the upset spot so I’ll lay the points.

Bet: WV -6
Confidence: 3 Units
Result: West Virginia 68 Kansas State 84

Purdue @ Maryland (MD -5.5, 125) 2 PM
Houston @ Wichita State (WS -3.5, 138.5) 4 PM

Ok, it’s not a good idea to keep taking road favorites, or road teams in general so we will stay away from that here, and for good reason. The Boilers are coming off an impressive home win against the Spartans. But, the Boilers are just 3-6 ATS after a win 1-4 ATS on the road this season. The Terps are 10-0 SU and 6-4 ATS at home this season, so I expect them to come away with the win here.

 Let’s continue to roll with another home team. Over the last 7 seasons, the Shockers are an impressive 96-7 at home, including 12-0 SU and 8-4 ATS this season. Houston has been playing well lately, but not well enough to go in to Witchita and steal a win.

Bet: Either Tease MD -1.5/WS +0.5 OR Parlay MD -5.5/WS -3.5 OR Single Bets
Confidence: 2 Units
Result: Purdue 50 Maryland 57
Houston 65 Wichita State 54
