The NFL Conference Championship games are set and will be analyzed intensely for the rest of the week, but it’s right back to finding the smartest college basketball picks for seasoned sports bettors.
There are just 15 games on Monday’s college basketball odds board, and I use the word “just” relatively.
Few sports can boast 15-game slates that are also considered on the smaller side, but that’s exactly the case when it comes to college hoops.
Just two top-25 teams are in action tonight as well, but that doesn’t mean there’s not value to be had, either.
With this in mind, let’s leverage the Action Network’s PRO betting tools to identify the best college basketball picks for Monday, including McNeese State vs. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (7 p.m. ET) and Weber State vs. Montana (9 p.m. ET)
College Basketball Picks for Tonight
*College basketball odds as of Monday morning
McNeese State vs. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Pick
7 p.m. ET | ESPN+
This isn’t a game that will attract much, if any, public money.
However, the wiseguys are all over it.
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi opened as a 5.5-point underdog against McNeese State, but sharps were quick to steam the Islanders, driving this number down to a consensus of +3.5.
Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market that is often the result of bettors with the resources and respect to move odds getting down on the same side of the same game at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.
In addition, Caesars is offering this line at Texas A&M Corpus-Christi +4, so be sure to shop for the best odds if getting down on this matchup.
PRO Report Pick: Texas A&M-Corpus Christi +4 (-110) via Caesars

Weber State vs. Montana Pick
9 p.m. ET | ESPN+
Sharps are also taking a market-moving position on the Weber State vs. Montana under, evidenced by two steam moves on that side of the total.
With smart money flowing, oddsmakers have been forced to react by adjusting this line down from its opener of 146.5 to 144.5 as of the time of writing.
PRO Report Pick: Under 144.5 (-110)
