Wisconsin Badgers vs. Michigan State Spartans

• When: Tuesday, February 8th, 2022. 7:00pm ET
• Where: Breslin Center, East Lansing, MI/li>
• NCAAB Betting Odds: TBA

Behind the play of the terrific Jonathan Davis, Wisconsin has continued to reign in the Big Ten. Michigan State, though, is just a game back. In the last head-to-head on Jan. 21, Michigan State blasted Wisconsin 86-74. The game happened on Wisconsin’s home court. Because this is in East Lansing, it’s difficult to see the Badgers turning the tables.

NCAAB Betting Pick: Michigan State Spartans

Houston Cougars vs. SMU Mustangs

• When: Wednesday, February 9th, 2022. 7:00pm ET
• Where: Moody Coliseum, Dallas, TX
• NCAAB Betting Odds: TBA

Kelvin Sampson has Houston playing like a Final Four team. The Cougars rank fourth in points allowed per game at 56.6. Opponents shoot 36% from the field versus Houston, which ranks first in college hoops. But on Wednesday, Houston travels to Southern Methodist to take on the Mustangs, the second-best team in the AAC conference. The Mustangs have won 8-of-10. But although SMU will play hard for a half, Houston’s more talented. The Cougars win and cover.

NCAAB Betting Pick: SMU Mustangs

Purdue Boilermakers vs. Michigan Wolverines

• When: Thursday, February 10th, 2022. 9:00pm ET
• Where: Crisler Center, Ann Arbor, MI
• NCAAB Betting Odds: TBA

20-3 Purdue is back to it’s winning ways. The Boilermakers have gone 5-0 SU in their last 5. Although Purdue is just 3-2 ATS in those 5 games, on Thursday they play against a team they beat in the last head-to-head. Purdue beat Michigan 82-76 on Feb. 5 this year. The Boilermakers didn’t cover. Michigan hasn’t had a great season. There are signs, though, that Juwan Howard’s squad is turning it around. The Wolverines win on the moneyline and cover the spread.

NCAAB Betting Pick: Michigan Wolverines

Texas Longhorns vs. Baylor Bears

• When: Saturday, February 12th, 2022. 12:00pm ET
• Where: Ferrell Center, Waco, TX
• NCAAB Betting Odds: TBA

Heading into the week, the Bears are 0-3 ATS in their last 3 games. Kansas blasted the Bears in their last, dominating Baylor 83-59 on Feb. 5. Texas has won 4-of-5 straight up. This contest sets up for a Longhorns’ upset moneyline victory. Texas sends the best defense in the nation to the court. Opponents average just 54.9 against the Longhorns. Baylor lives off their defense and will become if Texas’ starts getting stops. The Horns moneyline is worth a look.

NCAAB Betting Pick: Texas Longhorns

Florida Gators vs. Kentucky Wildcats

• When: Saturday, February 12th, 2022. 4:00pm ET
• Where: Rupp Arena, Lexington, KY
• NCAAB Betting Odds: TBA

The Gators are a decent basketball team, but Kentucky is dominant. The Wildcats average 81.2 points per while allowing 64 each contest. So even though Big Blue is just 11-12 ATS heading into the week, Oscar Tshiebwe and Sahvir Wheeler should ensure a win and cover in this. Kentucky rolls to a win and cover because Florida’s shooters won’t keep up.

NCAAB Betting Pick: Kentucky Wildcats

UCLA Bruins vs. USC Trojans

• When: Saturday, February 5th, 2022. 10:00pm ET
• Where: Galen Center, Los Angeles, CA
• NCAAB Betting Odds: TBA

The Bruins had a tough weekend. On Feb. 3, Arizona blasted UCLA 76-66. Then in their next game on Feb. 5, Arizona State beat the Bruins 87-84 in overtime. USC fell 72-63 to Arizona on Feb. 5. Before the loss, the Trojans had won 2 straight. These two haven’t played since last March. Since this happens on USC’s court, the Trojans have a slight edge. But UCLA is the overall better team. The Bruins should prevail SU and ATS./p>
