With the college football season completed, we can now fully dig into college hoops for our daily best bet plays. That is exactly what I’m doing for Tuesday. For my best bet for Tuesday, January 21st: College Basketball Predictions, we’re checking in on some Big East action going down in the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
Best Bet For Tuesday (January 21st): College Basketball Predictions
Marquette Golden Eagles vs Seton Hall Pirates
Start Time – 8:00 PM EST
Coach Shaka Smart’s Marquette Golden Eagles had high expectations placed on them entering this season, and for the most part they’ve exceeded them, going from a preseason ranking of #18 to their current spot at #10. However, they were upset in their last game – at home, no less – by Xavier. Lucky for them, the schedule offers up a nice bounce-back spot tomorrow night on the road in New Jersey.
The Seton Hall Pirates are not a very good basketball team, losing their last three and eight of their past nine. This includes a 28-point loss at home to St. John’s last time out. Based on the teams’ resumes and Seton Hall’s home-court advantage (not sure that exists when you lose by 28 on your home floor), I’d line this game up at Marquette -17.5. That makes the Golden Eagles on the spread the best bet tomorrow.
Best Bet: Marquette -12.5 (-110)
Best Bet Overall Record: 163-140 (54%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $625.09
Return on Investment: 2%
