It’s possible I shot too high or got too aggressive with my pick from November 2nd. Meanwhile, my buddy Jeff Fox, who will be writing these every other day with me, nailed his pick. I’m slightly too competitive to be okay with that. It was bad enough that some of my picks didn’t hit. It was even worse that the heavy favorite, like Iowa State, straight-up lost. Rather than get too crazy with five plays in one today, I’m just going for three, and they’re alternative lines. He is up +2.73 units while I’m down 1, and yes, I am going to keep track. Fade or follow, here’s my college basketball parlay pick of the day for the games today!

College Basketball Parlay Pick Of The Day (November 4th)
SE Louisiana vs. Auburn (8 PM ET)
My college basketball parlay pick for the day today starts with Auburn -25.5 over SE Louisiana. The current line is actually 28.5, so I bought three points with the alternative line. The Tigers are at home on the Plains against a Southland team that is essentially starting from scratch after some major roster turnover.
Auburn brings SEC-level athleticism, size, and scoring, with plenty of productive returners. Even if the Tigers take their foot off the gas or deal with any opening-night rust, the points give us slight flexibility. SE Louisiana simply doesn’t have enough bodies or experience to hang with this team for a full game.
North Dakota State @ St. Mary’s (10 PM ET)
Next, I’m looking at the Saint Mary’s vs. North Dakota State game. The Gales are home in Moraga, where they’ve been extremely tough, and they hold a clear edge in talent and system even under a new coach. They are currently 12.5-point favorites, and I teased this one down three points as well.
NDSU is a solid Summit League team with continuity, but the Gaels should control the paint and be able to dictate the tempo of the game. Saint Mary’s doesn’t need a dominant blowout. They just need to take care of business and win by ten to cover for us.
Longwood @ St. Joseph’s (7 PM ET)
I’ll finish with St. Joseph’s at home against Longwood. However, I moved the -10.5 points to -7.5 for some flexibility. The Hawks open at home in the Atlantic 10 against a Big South team. Longwood can score in bunches, but Saint Joseph’s has the home-court edge, better overall talent, and the ability to dictate a more physical game.
Combine all three of these together, and you get a nice +240 parlay. I’m aware that if this hits, I’ll still be behind Jeff. However, this one will get us back on track and back in profit.
