Wednesday’s college basketball betting odds, picks and predictions include 10 matchups between teams ranked in the AP Top 25. With so many high-quality matchups on the board, there’s plenty of opportunity to make some profitable bets. Here are the top three picks to keep an eye on:
1. North Carolina vs. Duke: The Tar Heels are a -1.5 point favorite at most sportsbooks and they have revenge on their mind after Duke upset UNC in the ACC Championship game last season. However, the Blue Devils are a much better team this year and should be able to pull off the upset.
2. Kansas vs. Villanova: Given that these teams are in the same division, it should come as no surprise that the line has shifted in Villanova’s favor. However, Jayhawks coach Bill Self is a very good coach and should have his team ready for the semifinal game.
3. Gonzaga vs. UCLA: Gonzaga is a -1.5 point favorite at most sportsbooks, but that doesn’t mean that UCLA is going to roll over. The Bruins are a talented team and are capable of pulling off the upset. However, Gonzaga should be able to beat UCLA by at least 14 points.
