CBB Best Bet: Maryland +2.5 over Rutgers

I like the Terrapins here. Maryland is primed to cover the 2.5-point spread against Rutgers because of their recent dominance in this rivalry, posting a solid 5-3 record both straight up and ATS in their last eight meetings with Rutgers. Conversely, the Scarlet Knights are having a tough year. Rutgers has struggled significantly with a 2-8 straight-up record over their last ten games, and their inability to perform on extended rest is even more concerning. The Scarlet Knights are just 1-6 ATS as a favorite and 2-5 ATS when playing on four or more days of rest this season. Maryland’s defensive consistency should stifle a cold Scarlet Knights offense on the way to an outright underdog win. Final score projection: MARYLAND TERRAPINS 71, RUTGERS SCARLET KNIGHTS 67.

CBB Best Bet: UAB -6.5 over Tulane

I’m backing UAB in this one. The Blazers are well-positioned to cover the 6.5-point spread at Bartow Arena due to their historical mastery over the Green Wave. The Blazers have dominated this matchup lately, posting an impressive 8-2 record both straight up and ATS in their last ten games against Tulane. Additionally, UAB thrives on standard turnaround times, maintaining a sharp 10-7 ATS record when playing on two or three days of rest this year. Given Tulane’s defensive struggles on the glass (339th in defensive rebounding percentage), UAB’s physical interior play should allow them to pull away comfortably in the second half. Final score projection: UAB BLAZERS 82, TULANE GREEN WAVE 73.
