Only one more day until we can watch and bet on football again! But I’ve been doing ok biding my time winning on the NHL and college hoops, so no rush. For my best bet for Saturday, January 25th: College Basketball Predictions, we’re headed to Tobacco Row – more specifically the LJVM Coliseum in Winston Salem, North Carolina – for an Atlantic Coast Conference rivalry game!
Best Bet For Saturday (January 25th): College Basketball Predictions
Duke Blue Devils vs Wake Forest Demon Deacons
Start Time – 4:30 PM EST
The Duke Blue Devils are cruising through the conference portion of their season, going 8-0 thus far in the ACC, behind the play of their dominant freshman Cooper Flagg. But their opponent tomorrow, the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, are surprisingly breathing down their necks with a 7-1 conference mark, having won six straight games and eight of nine.
But when you look under the hood you find that the Demon Deacons probably aren’t as great as their record indicates. The advanced stats only have them ranked as the 84th-best team in the country (Duke is #2). Even considering their very strong home-court advantage historically (worth over six points a game), the visiting Blue Devils should be expected to roll in this game. My line is Duke -15.5, so the Blue Devils on the spread is my best bet of the day.
Best Bet: Duke -10.5 (-108)
Best Bet Overall Record: 166-142 (54%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $725.29
Return on Investment: 2%
