College Basketball Preview, Picks, and Best Bets for November 14
Matt Dewoskin ATS College Basketball Picks Record (Est.November 2, 2026)
All Selections: 17-19
Perfect 3-0 Cards: 2-10
Jackson State at Winthrop
Start Time: 2:30 PM EST
Jackson State enters this game with a 1-3 overall record and a 3-1 mark against the spread. The Tigers won outright at Tulane, and covered at Texas Tech and Southern Miss. Their only miss ATS was as a heavy underdog at Mississippi State.
Winthrop comes into this matchup with a 0-3 overall mark and a 1-2 mark ATS. The Eagles just covered for the first time in a loss at Kennesaw State.
Winthrop likes to play at pace, and Jackson State has been on the road since November 2nd. This game is the Tigers’ fifth straight game on the road. The Eagles’ pace should wear down the Tigers by the second half and allow the Eagles to pull away late.
Jackson State also has a clear disadvantage on the boards. The Tigers have been poor at securing rebounds on the defensive end. Winthrop should be able to get a few extra chances on the offensive board and pick up a few more points.
Winthrop is due for a win, and playing a SWAC team at home is usually a recipe for victory. Especially a SWAC team that’s on its fifth straight road game, doesn’t rebound well, and should struggle with Winthrop’s pace. Lock up the Eagles to get the win and cover in Rock Hill, SC.
Best Bet: Winthrop -7.5
UC-Riverside at Fresno State
Start Time: 6:00 PM EST
UC-Riverside enters this matchup with a 3-0 overall record and a 2-0 mark ATS. The Highlanders have won and covered at home against Denver and won and covered on the road at San Jose State.
Fresno State comes into this game with a 2-1 overall mark and a 0-2 record ATS. The Bulldogs lost and failed to cover at UC-San Diego. They also won and failed to cover against Georgia State.
UC-Riverside has been significantly better at protecting the basketball, forcing turnovers, and limiting opponents’ shooting efficiency so far this season. Fresno State has an advantage in offensive rebounding, but its poor three-point shooting and defensive inefficiency are concerns. This should be a chippy, tight game between two teams that can go through shooting droughts.
UC-Riverside is the better defensive team, and Fresno State lacks the scoring punch to run away with this one. We’re likely looking at a one-possession game, and the Highlanders are catching more than one possession. Take the points with UC-Riverside and don’t be afraid to sprinkle the moneyline.
Best Bet: UC-Riverside +4.5
New Mexico at Santa Clara
Start Time: 10:00 PM EST
New Mexico comes into this matchup with a 3-0 overall record and a 3-0 mark ATS. This is the Lobos first true road game.
Santa Clara enters this game with a 4-0 mark overall and a 3-1 record ATS. The Broncos are 3-0 overall at home and 2-1 ATS at home. Their only non-cover came when they were laying 19.5 points against Sacramento State.
The case for Santa Clara is that they have a clear advantage on the boards and get to play this game in their gym. The Broncos also like to push the pace and can get rolling on the offensive end.
This is not only New Mexico’s first game on the road, but it’s also their first game against an opponent in the top-200. Santa Clara has played three teams in the top-200 and are just off a road win at North Texas. Given the first travel spot, the jump in competition, and the fact that these teams aren’t that different in terms of skill or ability, Santa Clara as a short underdog is the side to take here. Let’s ride with the Broncos at home.
Best Bet: Santa Clara +1.5
