Illinois Fighting Illini at Iowa Hawkeyes
This is a meaningful Big Ten matchup in Iowa City, with the Hawkeyes coming off a loss and Illinois playing well entering the weekend. On paper, it looks like a spot where the Illini could keep rolling. Instead, this feels like a classic home response game. Iowa finds enough offense late and pulls the mild upset, tightening the Big Ten race.
Betting Pick: Iowa Hawkeyes -1 over Illinois Fighting Illini
Final Score Prediction: Iowa Hawkeyes 80, Illinois 75
Memphis Tigers at Florida Atlantic Owls
Florida Atlantic is a short home favorite in Boca Raton, and the setting matters here. Memphis has struggled to find consistency and looks a step behind some of its recent teams. When it comes down to execution late, FAU takes advantage of being at home and secures a key conference win.
Betting Pick: Florida Atlantic Owls -1.5 over Memphis Tigers
Final Score Prediction: Florida Atlantic 88, Memphis 85
Northern Kentucky Norse at Green Bay Phoenix
Green Bay continues to be one of the more entertaining teams to watch right now. The Phoenix are playing with confidence, shooting the ball well, and responding in big spots. At home on Sunday, they keep that momentum going and come away with a comfortable win.
Betting Pick: Green Bay Phoenix +3 over Northern Kentucky Norse
Final Score Prediction: Green Bay Phoenix 77, Northern Kentucky 70
Northwestern Wildcats at Rutgers Scarlet Knights
Northwestern heads east for a road test, but Rutgers has not shown much consistency lately. The Wildcats are the more reliable shooting team and handle the environment well. Northwestern knocks down enough shots to earn a road victory.
Betting Pick: Northwestern Wildcats -4.5 over Rutgers Scarlet Knights
Final Score Prediction: Northwestern 75, Rutgers 70
Cincinnati Bearcats at UCF Knights
This Big 12 matchup favors the home side. UCF already owns a marquee home win this season and faces a Cincinnati team that has struggled to find its footing. The Knights do enough on both ends to win by more than a single possession.
Betting Pick: UCF Knights -3.5 over Cincinnati Bearcats
Final Score Prediction: UCF Knights 72, Cincinnati 68
