Three straight losses on my daily best bets have shattered the feeling of invincibility I’ve had in 2025. But another day brings another chance to get a winning streak going. For my best bet for Wednesday, January 15th: College Basketball Predictions, we’re off the gambling capital of the world, Las Vegas, and the Thomas & Mack Center.
Best Bet For Wednesday (January 15th): College Basketball Predictions
Utah State Aggies vs UNLV Rebels
Start Time – 11:00 PM EST
I figured it was time to switch things up to snap my slump, and I haven’t made any NCAA basketball plays lately, so my best bet for the day takes place on the collegiate hardwood. More specifically, I’ve zeroed in on some Mountain West Conference action going down on the campus of The University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Unfortunately for the home fans, I don’t expect this game to go in the Rebels’ favor. They’ve lost two straight heading into this game, and the Utah State Aggies have reeled off six straight wins, propelling themselves into the national rankings (currently they’re #22). And UNLV has yet to beat a ranked team this season, going 0-2 thus far.
Even after adding UNLV’s home-court advantage into the numbers, the Aggies should be about an eight-point favorite in this game. That makes the value on the Aggies’ end of the spread.
Best Bet: Utah State -4.5 (-108)
Best Bet Overall Record: 161-137 (54%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $737.10
Return on Investment: 2%
