Sunday College Basketball Best Bets
As the calendar approaches Christmas, the schedule begins to thin, but Sunday still provides a solid betting card. Here are the games we’re backing to wrap up the weekend.
Penn State Nittany Lions at Pittsburgh Panthers
This neutral-site matchup pits the Big Ten against the ACC. Penn State enters at 8-3 but has dropped two straight, including a home loss to Michigan State. Pittsburgh is 6-6 and looking to regain momentum after an uneven start to the season.
With both fan bases expected to be well represented, this game should feel close to a true toss-up. In the end, the slight underdog has value.
Betting Pick: Pittsburgh +1.5
Final Score Prediction: Pittsburgh 75, Penn State 70
Southern University Jaguars at Baylor Bears
This matchup has the potential to get out of hand quickly. Southern is 4-7, while Baylor has been dominant at home and is coming off a 57-point win over Alcorn State. While Southern may offer slightly more resistance, the gap in talent is significant.
Baylor should control this game from the opening tip.
Betting Pick: Baylor -24.5
Final Score Prediction: Baylor 90, Southern 60
Vanderbilt Commodores at Wake Forest Demon Deacons
One of the more entertaining games on the slate, Vanderbilt puts its unbeaten record on the line after a thrilling win over Memphis. Wake Forest returns home, where the Demon Deacons should benefit from a strong crowd in Winston-Salem.
Despite the road setting, Vanderbilt’s toughness and execution late should be the difference in a close contest.
Betting Pick: Vanderbilt -4.5
Final Score Prediction: Vanderbilt 82, Wake Forest 80
Kennesaw State Owls at Alabama Crimson Tide
Kennesaw State has an 8-3 record, but questions remain about the level of competition the Owls have faced. Alabama presents a major step up, especially in a Huntsville setting that should heavily favor the Crimson Tide.
Alabama’s scoring ability and pace should overwhelm Kennesaw State.
Betting Pick: Alabama -21.5
Final Score Prediction: Alabama 92, Kennesaw State 60
Chattanooga Mocs at Alabama A&M Bulldogs
The nightcap in Huntsville features a competitive mid-major matchup. Chattanooga has underperformed expectations but still carries the higher ceiling. Alabama A&M sits at 6-5 and is coming off a road loss at Ole Miss.
Expect a tight game throughout, with Chattanooga making just enough plays late.
Betting Pick: Chattanooga -1.5
Final Score Prediction: Chattanooga 72, Alabama A&M 70
