College Basketball Odds, Biggest Edges for Saturday
*Odds, projections as of Saturday morning
New Mexico State vs. Sam Houston Pick
3:30 p.m. ET | ESPN+
A low-profile game doesn’t necessarily mean it should be avoided, as evidenced by Action PRO’s projection edge.
While Sam Houston is a 2.5-point consensus favorite, PRO’s projection of New Mexico State -2.5 translates to an 8.8% edge — the second-largest on Saturday’s slate.
PRO Pick: New Mexico State +2.5 (-110) — FanDuel
Arizona vs. Kansas Pick
4:30 p.m. ET | ESPN
Arizona is listed at +3.5 as of the time of writing, but Action PRO suggests that spread is still too long.
Our data sets this line at Wildcats +1.3, offering a 6.9% edge for Arizona bettors.
PRO Pick: Arizona +3.5 (-105) — DraftKings
Houston vs. Baylor Pick
10 p.m. ET | ESPN
Houston is a 4.5-point favorite against Baylor, a line that appears way too short according to our projection.
Action PRO sets this line at Cougars -9 and that 4.5-point difference results in a 12.5% edge — the largest edge on Saturday’s board — for those willing to lay the points with Houston.
PRO Pick: Houston -4.5 (-110) — Fanatics
