Alabama A&M Bulldogs at Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils
There is very little reason to trust Mississippi Valley State right now. The Delta Devils struggle to score, turn the ball over at a high rate, and have not shown the ability to defend or rebound consistently. With just one win on the season, this is another tough spot against a more reliable Alabama A&M team.
The Bulldogs should control this game from start to finish and create separation with steady offense and cleaner execution.
Betting Pick: Alabama A&M Bulldogs -10.5 over Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils
Final Score Prediction: Alabama A&M 77-65 over Mississippi Valley State
Milwaukee Panthers at Green Bay Phoenix
A Wisconsin rivalry takes center stage at the Kress Events Center. Both teams enter with identical 7-8 records, but momentum favors Green Bay. Milwaukee has dropped back-to-back games, while the Phoenix are coming off a convincing blowout win at Fort Wayne.
With confidence high and home court in their favor, Green Bay is in a good position to keep rolling.
Betting Pick: Green Bay Phoenix +2.5 over Milwaukee Panthers
Final Score Prediction: Green Bay 77-75 over Milwaukee
Oregon Ducks at Rutgers Scarlet Knights
Oregon picked up an important road win at Maryland in its last outing, a result Dana Altman’s group badly needed. Now the Ducks face another road test against a Rutgers team that can be tough at home.
Oregon’s athleticism and ability to score in transition should be the difference again, as the Ducks string together another strong road performance.
Final Score Prediction: Oregon 78-70 over Rutgers
Nebraska Cornhuskers at Ohio State Buckeyes
Nebraska’s unbeaten run faces a serious challenge in Columbus. The Cornhuskers are coming off a quality win over Michigan State, but Ohio State is playing well, sitting at 10-3 and riding a two-game winning streak that includes a road victory at Rutgers.
This feels like a spot where home court and physical play swing the outcome, with Ohio State doing enough late to hand Nebraska its first loss.
Betting Pick: Ohio State Buckeyes -2.5 over Nebraska Cornhuskers
Final Score Prediction: Ohio State 84-80 over Nebraska
USC Trojans at Michigan State Spartans
USC opened 2026 with a rough road loss at Michigan, and the schedule does not get any easier here. Michigan State is built to punish teams physically, especially at home, and this matchup sets up well for the Spartans.
Expect Michigan State to control the tempo, dominate the interior, and pull away as the game wears on.
Betting Pick: Michigan State Spartans -10.5 over USC Trojans
Final Score Prediction: Michigan State 82-68 over USC
