Top 3 College Basketball Picks Today

1. Ohio State ATS +10

These are good times to be a fan of the Ohio State Buckeyes after Ohio State topped Notre Dame to win the College Football Playoff title on Monday. The basketball team hits the road to face reigning national finalist Purdue.

The last time the teams met, Ohio State came away with a 73-69 upset victory. Of course, that came at home.

The Buckeyes haven’t been as successful when playing the Boilermakers on the road.

This is a much different Purdue team without the 7-foot-4 Zach Edey in the middle of everything.

Don’t be fooled by Ohio State’s 10-8 record. The Buckeyes lost by one point to Indiana, by two points to Wisconsin and by two points to Oregon in January.

When making college basketball picks for Jan 21, take Bruce Thornton and Ohio State to cover as a 10-point underdog.

2. Creighton -6.5 to Cover at DePaul

Creighton beat Kansas when the Jayhawks were the top-ranked team in the nation and the Bluejays just ended the 28-game home winning streak of two-time defending national champion UConn.

A 24-point effort by Jamiya Neal proved that there is much more to this Creighton team than just veteran forward Ryan Kalkbrenner and guard Steven Ashworth.

The sports betting odds have Creighton favored by 6.5 points at DePaul. DePaul is an improved team with the Blue Demons ending a long Big East losing streak with a win at Georgetown. That came three days after DePaul made a top-10 Marquette team have to work for an overtime victory.

With so many veteran players on this Creighton team, don’t look for too much of a letdown as the Bluejays deliver as a road favorite.

Bet On Creighton -6.5

 

3. Marquette’s Kam Jones to have 7+ Assists (-170)

Let’s stay in the Big East for the Marquette-Seton Hall game.

Seton Hall will be playing at home where four of the six wins for the Pirates have come. A quick peek at the Pomeroy basketball ratings shows that Seton Hall is near the bottom in adjusted tempo so don’t be surprised to see this be a game with a pedestrian pace.

However, it might be hard for Seton Hall to deal with Marquette’s do-everything guard Kam Jones.

Jones hasn’t been shooting the ball particularly well but with 45 assists in his last six games, going with Jones at -170 to have 7+ assists could be the best way to proceed when making college basketball player prop bets.
