Memphis has attempted 35 free throws per game, while Louisville has averaged 27. Both teams have shown ways to generate points by attacking defenders and reaching the line. Louisville's final form is an elite defense but they aren't there yet. Chattanooga made 12 of its 15 attempts at the rim in the opener highlighting this.

A year ago, this game would have been a much different venture for Pat Kelsey's Louisville Cardinals team. However, with a frontcourt first, more physical approach in 2027, it's poised to cover this number. My projections have the Cardinals as 9 point favorites, this isn't a big edge but I'm comfortable playing it to there

Free College Basketball Computer Picks & Expert Picks

Our computer picks table uses a variety of variables such as a team's recent play, home/away splits, injuries and the betting odds for each game for its predictions. The table displays how our computer picks have fared over the past 100 games of the college basketball season. Our computer's algorithm picks the moneyline, spread, and total winner for each NCAAB game.

How To Use Our College Basketball Picks

Before making your NCAAB picks, refer to our college basketball computer picks to see a predicted score for each NCAAB matchup. You can also gauge whether our computer picks heavily favor a side or total in the game. Our college basketball computer picks can even provide value when you're targeting an underdog. Further research can be done using our college basketball betting trends.

If you like a heavy favorite, but our computer picks believe it will be a close game, you may want to do some further research before placing your college basketball bets. You could check out what other bettors are thinking on our college basketball consensus picks page.

As you can see above, as things stand, the table has been unprofitable on both moneyline and spread betting in the last 100 college basketball games. However, our computer picks have been extremely profitable when predicting totals of late, as $100 bettors would be up $599 when betting on our last 100 totals picks.

Free Computer Picks by Odds Shark

Moneyline

Betting on the college basketball moneyline is simple. You're choosing which team you believe will win the contest. The NCAAB moneyline is a bet that includes the odds to win each contest. The favorite will be denoted by a (-), while the underdog will be labeled with a (+) symbol.

You may see a college basketball betting line displayed like this:

TeamMoneyline Odds
Duke-110
North Carolina+120

In this instance, you'd have to bet $110 on Duke to win $100, while a bet on North Carolina would pay out $120 plus your original $100 wager should the Tar Heels win the game.

Spread

A college basketball point spread is a wager on the margin of victory. A spread is the sportsbook's attempt to level the playing field of uneven matchups.

The favorite in every contest will be marked with a (-) along with the number of points they need to win by, in order to cash your bet. The underdog will be labeled with a (+) sign and the number of points they need to avoid losing by.

A college basketball spread could look something like this:

TeamSpread
Duke-3 (-110)
North Carolina+3 (+120)

Here, the Duke Blue Devils would need to win by more than three points to cash your college basketball bet against the spread. While the North Carolina Tar Heels simply need to win, or lose by fewer than three points to cover the spread. The number in parentheses denotes the amount you have to wager to make $100.

Total

A total bet, sometimes called the Over/Under, is the total amount of points sportsbooks believe both teams will combine for in the game. Since college basketball games are shorter, and teams don't employ players like Steph Curry, you'll notice college basketball totals are often far shorter than NBA odds.

A college basketball total may look like this:

TeamTotal
DukeOVER 142 (-110)
North CarolinaUNDER 142 (-110)

In this rivalry game Duke and North Carolina would have to combine for more than 142 points for the Over to hit.

You'd need to bet $110 on the Over to receive a payout of $100. Conversely, if the game ends with a score lower than 142 total points, your bet loses. That same $110 bet would pay out $100. Our Odds Calculator can give you a better idea of how much you'd win based on the amount wagered.

Best College Basketball Betting Sites

If you're ready to bet on college basketball picks, you first need to find the right sportsbook. The best betting sites offer secure banking, best odds, bonuses, and reliable customer service.
