Finally, we saw ourselves have a pretty good day yesterday.

Best Bets for Monday December 8, 2025

Of course, Doug Gottlieb’s team let us down, but the other four games were big wins for us. It was nice to see some positive success. We are now 88-87 on the season.

Lafayette Leopards at Penn Quakers

Fran McCaffrey’s team is going to want to push the basketball up and down the floor, and they should not have any problem doing so. This feels like a betting spread that is several points too small. The Quakers win this game at home by double digits over the Leopards.

Betting Pick: Penn Quakers -5.5 over Lafayette Leopards

Final Score Prediction: Penn 78-68 over Lafayette

South Carolina State Bulldogs at Charleston Southern Buccaneers

If you saw our rankings for the worst teams in all of college basketball, you would have seen the Bulldogs of South Carolina State there. They are not good on offense and even worse on defense. They are on the road in this game and a double digit underdog. The Bulldogs are going to struggle to keep pace.

Betting Pick: Charleston Southern Buccaneers -10.5 over South Carolina State Bulldogs

Final Score Prediction: Charleston Southern Buccaneers 80-60 over South Carolina State Bulldogs

Southern University Jaguars at Texas Longhorns

The Southern University Jaguars get their chance at the Texas Longhorns on Monday night. The Longhorns have yet to hit their stride this season. Texas should be able to use this game as a chance to get right and get healthy. Before the SEC season starts, the Longhorns are going to want to be playing consistent basketball. This is a start.

Betting Pick: Texas Longhorns -21.5 over Southern University Jaguars

Final Score Prediction: Texas Longhorns 91-69 over Southern University

Incarnate Word Cardinals at New Orleans Privateers

This is going to be a competitive basketball game. Vegas agrees with that as the betting spread is just a single point. A competitive game means possession by possession, which usually leads to a lower scoring total. This is going to come in just under the number. Take the under and hope for no overtime in New Orleans.

Betting Pick: Incarnate Word Cardinals and New Orleans Privateers UNDER 150.5

Final Score Prediction: New Orleans 75-74 over Incarnate Word

Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils at Kansas State Wildcats

The Delta Devils are another team that appeared in the bottom 10 rankings in all of college basketball. They face a Kansas State team that has really struggled so far with four losses already. Despite that, Jerome Tang and his Wildcats should be able to name the score. Kansas State should score 100 and win this easily.

Betting Pick: Kansas State Wildcats -31.5 over Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils

Final Score Prediction: Kansas State 101-60 over Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils
