Best College Basketball Prediction, Picks and Odds for Today: Bet UNC vs Clemson Over 144.5 on Feb 10

Let’s take a look at some NCAA basketball betting lines from Monday’s schedule to find the top picks.

Top 3 College Basketball Picks Today

1. North Carolina vs Clemson Over 144.5

There are plenty of numbers and college basketball betting trends to consider when looking at Monday’s lone ACC game.

Even with a win over Pittsburgh on Saturday, North Carolina has dropped four of its last six games. In one of those wins, the Tar Heels scored 102 points to top Boston College in overtime.

Clemson would be taking an eight-game winning streak into the game if not for an overtime loss to Georgia Tech. The Tigers have plenty of confidence after handing Duke its first conference loss over the weekend.

Defining moments.

When considering college basketball picks for Feb 10, we would tread very carefully before taking Clemson to cover as 5.5-point favorites.

Clemson has seen eight of its 12 games as the home favorite land over the total. That is enough for us to take Chase Hunter and the Tigers to score enough for the matchup with North Carolina to land over 144.5 points.

2. Baylor vs Houston Over 132.5

With Houston among the newest additions to the Big 12, there is not much history between the Cougars and the Baylor Bears heading into Monday’s matchup.

Before Houston’s 82-76 win in 2024, the teams hadn’t met in the regular season since 2002.

Baylor did win with ease in the 2021 Final Four as the Bears were the last team standing in the March Madness bracket.

Picking Houston home games to land over the total set by BetUS Sportsbook has been a risky venture, with just five of the 13 games finishing over the total.

Baylor was held to 59 points in a recent loss to Texas Tech but also has 89, 81 and 91 points over his last four games with freshman VJ Edgecombe, who has averaged 22 points over his last five contests, starting to heat up. He will be on the radar for those looking at the college basketball player prop options.

Houston has put up an average of 75.4 points over its last five games. The numbers probably would have been higher had starting guard Emanuel Sharp not missed the last two games. All signs point to Sharp playing on Monday.

The last two games between the teams went over the total and when placing college basketball bets, go with the game to land over 132.5.

3. Fresno State (+15) to Cover at Nevada

It is not unusual to see Fresno State listed by the college basketball spread as a double-digit underdog against Nevada. When the teams met in January, Nevada was favored by 12.5 points and the last time the Bulldogs came to Nevada, the line was set at 14.

Fresno State lost both of those games but did cover each time.

With one Mountain West victory and a 1-10 road record, this has not been a season to remember for Fresno State. It doesn’t help that leading scorer Amar Augillard hasn’t played since mid-December. Even though the Bulldogs take a six-game losing streak into the matchup with Nevada, two of those losses came in overtime and two others were by eight points or less.

Nevada hasn’t won a game by at least 15 points since Dec. 14. Take Fresno State to cover as 15-point underdogs when making NCAAB picks.
