3 Best NCAAB ATS Picks for 11/21

1. Baylor vs St. John’s ATS Pick: Bet Baylor -3 to Cover in Bahamas Game

The holiday tournament season is upon us with one of the most intriguing matchups coming in the Bahamas when Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitino’s St. John’s Red Storm is listed by the college basketball betting odds as the underdog against Baylor.

St. John’s is going to make some noise in the Big East this season. Pitino brought in some high-impact transfers but, after beating Fordham, Quinnipiac, Wagner and New Mexico at home, things are about to get real with a matchup against the Baylor team that topped 100 points in each of its last two games.

When making NCAA basketball predictions, roll with Baylor at -3 on Thursday.

2. College Basketball Pick: Can Virginia Cover (+12) vs Tennessee in Bahamas?

Even without the sweet-shooting Dalton Knecht, who recently had nine 3-pointers in a game for the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers, Tennessee is off to a 4-0 start. Veteran guard Zakai Zeigler, who leads the way with averages of 15.5 points and 7.8 assists, will be a popular Nov. 21 player prop option. His over/under for the game is 14.5 with -108 odds to surpass the total.

Virginia is also undefeated despite head coach Tony Bennett walking away from the team shortly before the start of the season – a surprising announcement that headlined NCAA basketball news.

We like the Volunteers to open play in the Bahamas with a win, but the 12-point line seems a bit on the high side for a Virginia team that knows how to hang around in games and gets after it defensively.

3. Bet UNC Greensboro vs Indiana To Land Over

With sophomore Mackenzie Mgbako leading the way, Indiana has scored 90 and 87 points in its last two games. Now UNC Greensboro comes to town for a game airing on FS1.

The college basketball spread has UNC Greensboro listed as an 18-point underdog and that is sure to attract some action. However, we prefer the option of the game landing over the 146-point total even if two of the Hoosiers’ first three games this season went under the total, according to the UNC Greensboro vs Indiana betting trends.
