Tuesday’s college basketball odds board is a sneaky good one, offering 34-lined games with 12 top-25 teams in action.
In fact, fans and college basketball bettors are treated right out of the gate with No. 11 Marquette taking on No. 12 St. John’s at 6:30 p.m. ET.
Marquette vs. St. John’s is arguably the most interesting game on Tuesday’s slate, but it’s Drake vs. Murray State (7 p.m. ET, ESPN2) showing as one of today’s sharpest college basketball picks.
College Basketball Odds, Sharpest Pick for Drake vs. Murray State
*Odds as of Tuesday morning
Drake vs. Murray State is not only attracting professional betting action, but it’s also popping as one of Tuesday’s biggest betting model edges according to Action PRO’s college basketball projections.
Let’s take a look.
The Bulldogs are 4.5-point favorites against the Racers based on live college basketball odds as of the time of writing.
Wiseguys are backing Drake as well, steaming this line from its opener of -3.5 to the latest consensus of -4.5, and even up to -5 in some spots.
Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market and 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, Action PRO’s projections set this spread at Drake -8.5, resulting in a beefy 11% edge even after the one-point line move we’ve tracked thus far.
PRO Pick: Drake -4.5 (-110) — DraftKings
