Tailing PRO Projections college basketball picks, specifically moneyline underdogs, could make for a fun Wednesday.
Our college basketball experts have utilized our proprietary PRO Projections to identify three underdogs with significant value to win outright. These selections not only cover a wide range of tip-off times, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. ET, but also present a parlay opportunity at BetMGM paying out +2249.
Let’s delve into these three promising upset picks, including an A+ prediction.
College Basketball Parlay: Smart Moneyline Picks for 1/29
The standout selection of the day is the 6 p.m. matchup between Army and Colgate. Current market odds have Colgate favored at -6.5, a significant spread.
However, our PRO Projections suggest the spread should be closer to Colgate -1.8. The moneyline for Army stands at +200, but our experts assess it as a fair price at +114. With these insights, we categorize this as an A+ edge, presenting a strong case for Army as the best pick for Wednesday.
Transitioning to the Wisconsin vs. Maryland game, scheduled for later in the evening, PRO Projections identified another bettable edge. Maryland is currently favored by 5.5 points, yet our projections shave this to Maryland -3.3. The moneyline for Wisconsin is +190, but we calculate a fairer price at +144.
Finally, we shift our focus to the 9 p.m. clash between Saint Mary’s and Santa Clara. Saint Mary’s holds a -4.5 advantage according to the betting market, but our projections narrow that to -2.7. Santa Clara, with a moneyline of +170, should more appropriately be priced at +133, underscoring another B edge.
