Top 3 College Basketball Picks Today

1. Maryland vs Nebraska Over 147.5 (-110)

Maryland is very quietly hanging around in sixth place in the Big Ten despite a 2-5 record on the road.

The Terrapins are coming off a 90-point showing in a win over Rutgers to improve to 7-2 over their last nine games. Freshman Derik Queen had 29 points and 18 rebounds in a game featuring plenty of first-year stars. He is a player to keep an eye on when looking at the college basketball prop options.

Nebraska’s Brice Williams is averaging 25.5 points, 9.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists over his last four games and he could also offer some value in the prop bets.

Each of the last two times that Maryland played at Nebraska, the game landed over the total, per NCAAB betting trends. Nebraska has allowed an average of 83 points in its last four games against ranked teams. That is enough to go with the Maryland vs Nebraska game to land over.

2. Bet Memphis (-7) ATS

If teams think that the 2024-25 season has presented challenging obstacles, they should consider what the South Florida Bulls players have needed to deal with.

USF head coach Amir Abdur-Rahim died in October at the age of 43 while undergoing a medical procedure, per NCAAB news. The Bulls have battled through the adversity on their way to five conference wins. Now, a Memphis team that is 10-1 in the American Athletic Conference comes to Tampa.
