College Basketball Odds, Parlay for 2/20: Data-Driven Predictions
The first game tips off at 7 p.m. ET.
In a matchup between New Mexico State and Jacksonville State, Action hoops data supports the underdog Aggies.
New Mexico State enters the game as a +5.5 ‘dog, yet our proprietary model shows a closer game, suggesting a line of +2.9. With current odds at +205 to win outright and our model rating them at +133, this represents the second-best bet of the day.
Next on the docket is UTEP facing Kennesaw State in the same window.
UTEP enters as a +3.5 underdog, yet PRO Projections grade this tilt almost evenly, making UTEP a nearly pick ’em at +0.3. With a market moneyline of +150, our model suggests a fair price of +100, making it our third-best bet. Kennesaw State’s 15-8 against the spread this season but perhaps due for some regression from here on out.
Lastly, North Alabama takes on Lipscomb in what our experts deem the best bet of the day.
With an impressive 20-8 record, North Alabama is flying under the radar as a +7.5 underdog. Our data, however, marks this line at +3.8, and while shops offer a +260 moneyline, we estimate the true odds at +155. This significant gap makes North Alabama a must-watch for bettors looking to capitalize on undervalued matchups before the real fun begins next month.
