There are 41 lined games on Tuesday’s college basketball odds board, 40 of which get underway at 6:30 p.m. ET or later.
Alone on an island is Drexel vs. Howard, tipping at 3:30 p.m. ET (ESPN+).
As is typical with these early weekday matchups, recreational bettors will show little interest in Drexel vs. Howard, which makes sense.
First, most people are at work at 3:30 p.m. ET on a Tuesday, and second, these aren’t precisely big-time programs that the public is falling over itself to bet on.
But a winning college basketball pick on Drexel vs. Howard will pay just the same as one on North Carolina vs. Florida tonight, and that’s all that matters for value-minded bettors.
College Basketball Odds, Sharpest Pick for Drexel vs. Howard
Live college basketball odds show Drexel as a 2.5-point spread favorite against Howard on Tuesday afternoon.
However, it’s the over/under that’s attracting the attention of professional bettors.
Today’s total sits at a consensus of 145.5 as of the time of writing.
However, this line opened at 145 before sharp bettors did their thing.
Our data shows that wiseguys steamed the over at 145, explaining why this number has climbed to 145.5 and even to 146 at some sportsbooks, like DraftKings.
Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market, often resulting from bettors with the resources and respect to move odds getting down on the same wager at multiple sportsbooks simultaneously.
As always, shop for the best price, including odds and the vig, if tailing the smart money on Tuesday’s Drexel vs. Howard matchup.
PRO Pick: Over 145.5 (-105, BetMGM)
