Men’s and Women’s College Basketball Best Bets:
This week has not been quite as kind to us as the last three have, and while that’s frustrating, there’s no cause for concern and we’ll continue to trust the process and stay the course with what’s been working. There is a plethora of games on both the men’s and women’s side today, but for the article we’ll continue sticking to the men’s games since sportsbook are waiting as long as humanly possible to post women’s lines, which doesn’t mesh well with my afternoon schedule every day, so my apologies for the lack of women’s plays recently.
Reminder on how to read the projections: If the spread is a positive number, that indicates the team on the left (Home, unless neutral site) is favored by TSI. If the spread is a negative, that indicates the team on the right (Away, unless neutral side) is favored by TSI. TSI total is the projected number of combined points in the game.
