Yesterday was quiet for PRO Projections spotting big underdogs, with little value. Tuesday’s college basketball PRO picks are a whole different story.
We’re going big-game hunting with three picks Tuesday, as our models pinpointed three games where the spread and moneyline deviate significantly from our expert-grade odds. For those interested in the allure of a parlay, there’s a stunning +5828 potential return.
Let’s dive into these strategic underdog picks that could enhance your betting lineup, including two valuable grade-A selections and an enticing high B+ option. Here’s a breakdown of tonight’s most insightful picks.
College Basketball Picks, Projections, Parlay for 2/25
With tip-offs starting at 7 PM ET and extending into the night, let’s begin by examining the standout underdog play of the day: Army vs. Lafayette. The current spread is Lafayette -4, yet our model calculates a more competitive Lafayette -1.5. This discrepancy enhances Army’s value, especially with a moneyline of +154 compared to our fair price of +106. This A-grade opportunity suggests considerable value in backing Army in the early window.
The second highlight of the night is Santa Clara facing powerhouse Gonzaga. The market spread is Gonzaga -5.5, but our analytics suggest it should be much closer at Gonzaga -3.4. While the consensus moneyline positions Santa Clara at +202, our evaluation establishes a more realistic +144. After accurately predicting St. Mary’s win over Gonzaga this past weekend, this A- grade pick stands ready for consideration again.
Finally, turning to our most daring upset pick: Wyoming against Nevada. With Nevada currently favored by 13.5 points, our model proposes a fairer spread of 9.8. The existing moneyline for Wyoming at +675 is significantly higher than our calculated fair of +417, offering a B+ grade investment with potential for significant returns.
