College Basketball Preview, Picks, and Best Bets for February 7

Matt Dewoskin ATS College Basketball Picks Record (Est 11/3/2025)

All Selections: 140-128-5
Perfect 3-0 Cards: 13-78

Wisconsin at Indiana

Start Time: 12:00 PM EST

Wisconsin enters this game with a 16-6 overall record and a 3-1 mark on the road. The Badgers are 11-11 overall against the spread and 3-1 ATS on the road.

Indiana comes into this matchup with a 15-8 overall record and an 11-2 mark at home. The Hoosiers are 12-11 overall ATS and 7-6 ATS at home.

Wisconsin has won seven of the last 10 matchups in this series outright, and is 5-4- 1 ATS against Indiana over that same stretch.

The Badgers have won eight of their last 10, including three straight road wins and covers. Indiana is off a 1-1 West Coast road trip. The Hoosiers won and covered against UCLA, but lost as a favorite against USC.

Wisconsin has made it a habit of winning outright on the road. The Badgers can score with Indiana, and they have the size and veteran leadership to go toe-to-toe with just about anyone in the Big Ten. Indiana is also returning from the goofy West Coast road trip, and there’s a non-zero chance they’ll suffer a hangover. The Hoosiers are the better team on paper, but games aren’t won on paper. The metrics favor Indiana, but the actual game results say that they’re not as good as Wisconsin. Indiana ranks well in metrics, but Wisconsin wins games.

Wisconsin is just playing better, and they’re catching points. They’ve also proven that they’re not afraid of travel. Let’s lock up the Badgers to keep this one within the 4.5-point spread and potentially steal another one on the road.

Best Bet: Wisconsin +4.5

American at Navy

Start Time: 4:00 PM EST

American enters this matchup with a 13-11 overall record and a 3-7 road mark. The Eagles are 13-9 overall ATS and 6-4 ATS on the road.

Navy comes into this game with an 18-6 overall record and an 11-1 mark at home. The Midshipmen are 13-9 overall ATS and 6-4 ATS at home. This isn’t duplicated from the sentence above.

American won outright at home as a 2.5-point underdog against Navy in January. Navy has won six straight games since the loss, and they’ve covered five times over that stretch. American is currently on a three-game losing streak that includes a road loss at Loyola (MD) and at home against Bucknell.

Navy is the better team and is playing better basketball at the moment. The Midshipmen have the 14th-best scoring defense in the country, and they have the more efficient offense. Navy is also a much better rebounding team than American. The Midshipmen also get a struggling team coming into their building with a revenge angle on the table. Let’s lock up the Midshipmen to win and cover against American.

Best Bet: Navy -5.5

Central Arkansas at Lipscomb

Start Time: 5:00 PM EST

Central Arkansas comes into this game with a 13-10 overall record and a 2-9 road mark. The Bears are 12-9 overall ATS and 4-7 ATS on the road.

Lipscomb enters this matchup with a 15-9 overall record and an 11-0 mark at home. The Bisons are 11-11 overall ATS and 5-4 ATS at home.

Lipscomb has won six out of eight games in this series. However, Central Arkansas is 4-3-1 ATS against Lipscomb head-to-head.

Central Arkansas is on a six-game winning streak that includes road wins at Queens and West Georgia. The Bears have covered in five straight games. Lipscomb has won seven of their last 10 games, but it’s only 3-7 ATS over that stretch. The Bisons are off a road loss at Austin Peay and just wrapped up a three-game road trip.

Lipscomb has the better offense. The Bisons are 61st in the nation in three-point shooting percentage and 45th in free-throw shooting percentage. Central Arkansas struggles to defend the perimeter. They’re ranked 207th in the nation in three-point shooting percentage against.

From a situational perspective, Lipscomb is playing its first home game in two weeks. The situation and the head-to-head results say that this is a Lipscomb spot. The Bisons get this game on their floor, and that should favor the better shooting team. Lock up Lipscomb to win and cover against Central Arkansas.

Best Bet: Lipscomb -3
