Here are our Tuesday selections:
Pittsburgh Panthers at Miami Hurricanes
This ACC matchup takes place in Coral Gables. Miami has started the season well, winning 11 of its first 13 games. Pittsburgh is 7-6 but recently turned heads with an impressive blowout win over Penn State.
Miami is the better team on paper and should control the game, but conference openers often bring tighter margins. Expect Pittsburgh to compete and hang around enough to cover a sizable number.
Betting Pick: Pittsburgh Panthers +12.5 over Miami Hurricanes
Final Score Prediction: Miami 80, Pittsburgh 70
Florida State Seminoles at North Carolina Tar Heels
Another ACC showdown on Tuesday night. Florida State has struggled to find consistency, entering at 7-6. North Carolina, meanwhile, has won 12 of its first 13 games and looks strong heading into conference play.
The Tar Heels have the edge in talent and depth, but conference games rarely turn into blowouts. Florida State should be able to keep this one respectable in Chapel Hill.
Betting Pick: Florida State Seminoles +16.5 over North Carolina Tar Heels
Final Score Prediction: North Carolina 90, Florida State 75
Seton Hall Pirates at Marquette Golden Eagles
This Big East matchup features two teams heading in opposite directions. Marquette has struggled mightily, sitting at 5-8 and riding a four-game losing streak. The Golden Eagles were last seen getting handled at Creighton on December 20.
Seton Hall is 11-2 despite coming off a loss and should be motivated to bounce back. Even on the road, the Pirates are the more reliable side right now.
Betting Pick: Seton Hall Pirates -3.5 over Marquette Golden Eagles
Final Score Prediction: Seton Hall 74, Marquette 70
Butler Bulldogs at Creighton Blue Jays
Butler was overwhelmed earlier this month at UConn but has since put together back-to-back wins. Still, winning on the road in the Big East is a difficult task.
Creighton has five losses on the season but is coming off a comfortable home win over Utah Tech. The Blue Jays’ shooting should create enough separation to cover at home.
Betting Pick: Creighton Blue Jays -4.5 over Butler Bulldogs
Final Score Prediction: Creighton 85, Butler 75
Louisville Cardinals at California Golden Bears
The final game on Tuesday’s card takes us out west. Louisville enters at 10-2, while California has been impressive at 12-1. The Golden Bears have played well, especially at home, but this is a significant step up in competition.
Louisville’s talent and depth should show over 40 minutes. Expect a competitive game, but one where the Cardinals make the key plays late.
Betting Pick: Louisville Cardinals -4.5 over California Golden Bears
Final Score Prediction: Louisville 88, California 80
