Edlow’s Edge: College Basketball Betting Picks | Michigan State + Kansas 12/1

College hoops is off to a good start, and now that we’ve gotten a look at most teams a couple of times, it’s time to really dive in. I have a few college basketball betting picks for Super Tuesday, including some headline games in the Champions Classic. Using the help of OddsShopper to locate the best plays and prices, let’s analyze some college basketball betting odds and CBB picks and best bets.

College Basketball Betting: CBB Picks + Best Bets

CBB Pick: Davidson vs. Providence: Davidson Moneyline (+110)

I liked Davidson in this one once we knew the matchup on Monday night, but after watching Tuesday afternoon’s result between Texas and Indiana, Davidson is my favorite play on Tuesday’s board.

Davidson is a well-coached, veteran team with good guard talent. They are tough for anyone to deal with, which we saw on Monday. As 8-point dogs, Davidson took Texas down to the final possession, losing by just 2. Texas is arguably the most well-prepared team to start this season, returning 99% of its minutes played from last season. But the Longhorns still had issues putting Davidson away.

Not to get too elementary, but Indiana dominated Providence by 21 on Monday and then went on to lose to Texas by 22 on Tuesday afternoon. Providence is a team to consider fading early this season, and Davidson looks like it may be a tougher opponent than oddsmakers are giving them credit for.

CBB Pick: Michigan State vs. Duke: Michigan State +4 (-110)

Duke has a lot of talent on its roster, just as you’d expect. Jalen Johnson put up 19 points and 19 boards in his Blue Devil debut, but the team took its foot off the gas, winning by just 10 points and losing the second half by 7. Losing focus for any period of time won’t be tolerated in this game.

Michigan State is a veteran team, and has already passed a tough test this season. The Spartans hand the point guard position over to the electric Rocket Watts and have veterans around him like Aaron Henry, Joey Hauser and Josh Langford. An 80-70 win over Notre Dame was a great early-season test.

This game is usually in Chicago but will be at Duke this year. I think that’s taking some points away from the Blue Devils here, when in an empty gym it shouldn’t matter much. Give me the experienced team that’s already played a tough game this season. I like the Spartan moneyline here too as a CBB best bet.

CBB Pick: Kentucky vs. Kansas: Kansas -4.5 (-110)

This is kind of a similar spot here, with the exception being that Kentucky has been tested — it just failed. The Wildcats lost by 12 as 8-point favorites to Richmond, and while the Spiders are a terrific team, this one could have even gotten more away from Kentucky.

Kansas began the season with a loss to Gonzaga, which I wouldn’t hold against anyone — the Bulldogs are the best team in the nation. The Jayhawks followed that one up by taking care of business with a 22-point win and cover over St. Joseph’s. While Kansas lost a couple of big pieces, it returns plenty of key upperclassman and thrives on the defensive end. I could see this one going a lot like the Richmond game for the Wildcats. They’re talented enough to hand around for a bit, but Kansas’ experience will prevail.
