My 3 Best College Basketball Predictions
1. Arkansas (-5) vs Miami ATS Pick
The last time the Miami Hurricanes hit the court, they lost at home to a 1-7 Charleston Southern team. Now John Calipari brings his Arkansas team into Coral Gables.
Both these rosters were impacted by the transfer portal. Calipari brought a couple of his former recruits with him from Kentucky and added other key transfers while Miami saw three of its top five scorers transfer elsewhere.
It didn’t help that Pack missed the last game for Miami. Pack is considered to be questionable for the game.

When making Dec. 3 college basketball picks, it is hard to trust the Hurricanes right now. Go with the Razorbacks to cover as 5-point favorites.
2. Kentucky (-2) vs Clemson ATS Pick
Clemson’s 7-1 record is looking pretty good until you look a little closer and see that the wins came against Saint Francis, Eastern Kentucky, Charleston Southern, Radford, San Francisco, Penn State and Florida A&M.
The lone loss came on the road to Boise State and now the Tigers are a 2-point underdog at home against No. 4 Kentucky.
Talk about your step up in competition.
A week full of opportunity.

Kentucky is averaging 96.7 points per game with Otega Oweh one of six Wildcats averaging at least 10 points. Take Kentucky to cover against the college basketball spread as the road favorite.

3. Northwestern vs Iowa Over Pick: 146½
It will be interesting to see which team controls the tempo in the Big Ten clash between Northwestern and Iowa. Northwestern is outside the top 300 in adjusted tempo in the Pomeroy ratings while Iowa is in the top 25.
The Hawkeyes attempt nearly 10 more shots per game than Northwestern, even though Iowa can struggle to get to the foul line.
Four of the last six times that Northwestern played at Iowa, the game went over. Our NCAAB betting pick is for that college basketball trend to continue.
Bet on Northwestern vs Iowa Over 146½
