The college basketball betting is currently in its sixth week, and already fans have seen a ton of exciting and intriguing games. Whether you love blowouts or close games and even brawls, the first six weeks have set the bar incredibly high for rival basketball league the NBA to follow up starting on Christmas Day. Today we’ll look at a couple of marquee matchups that have bookie software agents wondering which games are giving bettors the best value.
Savannah State at Wisconsin Badgers – The top 10 ranked Badgers are a 27 point favorite in this game, but don’t let the large number fool you. In their victory Tuesday against Milwaukee, the Badgers blew a 17 point lead and were lucky to get out of the game with a victory let alone trying to cover the point spread. With that being said, it is important to note, that this is a very good defensive team at Wisconsin. Within the Big 10, the Badgers are at or near the top in several marquee defensive categories, including points allowed and shooting percentage. Wisconsin isn’t known for putting up too many points, and fans would be wise to pick Savannah State to cover the spread.
Oral Roberts Golden Eagles At Gonzaga Bulldogs – The Bulldogs have been one of the biggest surprises of 2011 season, in that they are struggling perhaps more so then they should. Gonzaga has dropped its last two games, losing a nail bitter to Illinois, before losing by seven to the Michigan State Spartans. However, facing Oral Roberts may just be what the doctor ordered, as they are ranked lower in the standings then Gonzaga. If Gonzaga wants to continue being a story, they should spin their luck by destroying Oral Roberts.
