I already like February more than January – I’m undefeated this month on my daily best bets! Yep, 1-0 for February, on my way to 28-0 surely. For my best bet for Sunday, February 2nd: College Basketball Predictions, I’m turning my attention to some American Athletic Conference action going down in the Tudor Fieldhouse in Houston, Texas. Let’s go!
Best Bet For Sunday (February 2nd): College Basketball Predictions
Memphis Tigers vs Rice Owls
Start Time: 3:00 PM EST
Coach Penny Hardaway has his Memphis Tigers humming along quite nicely, as they’ve won four straight games, eight of nine, and 10 of 12 (I could continue but you get the idea). After starting the season out of the national rankings, they’ve had a number beside their name for five straight weeks, currently sitting at #19. Their 7-1 conference mark has them tied with North Texas for tops in the AAC, and they’re 6-1 on the road (excluding neutral site games), which is where they’ll be tomorrow.
The Rice Owls are having themselves a season, but not of the good variety. Losers of six straight, they’ve also dropped three straight at home in the Tudor Fieldhouse. Taking into account fancy stats like point differential, strength of schedule, and home-court advantage (only worth 2.39 points historically for Rice), I’ve calculated the playable spread for this game as Memphis -14.5. That would make the Tigers laying the points the play to make.
Best Bet: Memphis -10.5 (-110)
Best Bet Overall Record: 168-148 (53%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $234.25
Return on Investment: 1%
