Top 3 College Basketball Picks Today

1. Florida State vs Duke Over 149.5

Duke is proving that there is more to its squad than just dynamic freshman Cooper Flagg. The Blue Devils have averaged 94.2 points during their current five-game winning streak.

It will be interesting to watch how Duke looks without veteran guard Tyrese Proctor. One of three double-digit scorers for the Blue Devils, Proctor avoided serious injury when he went down in Tuesday’s win over Miami. However, he is unlikely to be on the court against Florida State.

The Seminoles have allowed 89 and 96 points in their last two games, and the Blue Devils could score early in often against a Florida State team that is just 2-7 on the road. FSU’s Jamir Watkins is averaging 24.5 points in his last two games and could be a tempting pick among the college basketball player props.

When making Florida State vs Duke bets, go with the game to land over the 149.5-point total.

2. Bet Indiana (-1.5) To Cover At Washington

Indiana continues to play hard for lame-duck head coach Mike Woodson, earning three wins over the last four games. It all started with a four-point win on the road against a ranked Michigan State team that snapped a three-game road losing streak.

Now the Hoosiers have their longest trip of the season in conference play to play Big Ten cellar-dwelling Washington.

It is hard to believe that this will be the first time this season that Indiana is listed by BetUS Sportsbook as a road favorite.

The teams haven’t met since Indiana’s 102-84 win at Madison Square Garden in 2013. When making your college basketball picks, take the Hoosiers to cover as the 1.5-point favorites.

3. Bet Gonzaga vs San Francisco Over 157

Gonzaga is flying a bit under the radar this season after falling out of the Top 25 in the national polls.

The Bulldogsaren’t going to catch Saint Mary’s in the race for the West Coast Conference regular-season title, but they need to win on Saturday at San Francisco to avoid falling into third place in the WCC standings.

Gonzaga had 95 points in its most recent road game and has scored at least 86 points in its last three games against the Dons.

When the teams met on Feb. 11, Gonzaga won 88-77 as the game landed over the college basketball odds total of 153.5. Look for a similar result in the rematch and take the game to go over the 157-point total.
