College Basketball Predictions Tonight: Data-Driven Parlay for 2/18
Tipping off the action at 6:30 p.m. ET, we’ve identified crucial opportunities in two games.
PRO Projections marquee pick of the day comes from the clash between Villanova and UConn. Despite public perception, UConn has struggled to meet expectations this season, making this a prime spot to back Villanova.
The line is set at +9.5, but our experts’ analysis suggests a more competitive +5.8. On the moneyline, Villanova stands at +340, although we project it closer to +214. Both are Grade-A picks based on data, highlighting two powerful edges worth exploiting.
Next, we delve into a top-15 showdown between Purdue and Michigan State. Here, PRO Projections confidently supports Purdue at +3.5, as we’ve calculated a tighter spread of +1.3.
Additionally, with a moneyline currently at +140, our internal numbers imply a narrower margin at +106. The potential for Purdue to outperform market expectations positions this as a strategic choice for bettors seeking value in tonight’s high-profile clash between the Boilermakers and Spartans.
Parlaying both teams to win outright is +956 odds at BetMGM. If we parlayed both teams using our numbers, the fair price would be closer to +547.
