Let’s break down today’s best value plays.
Indiana Hoosiers at Illinois Fighting Illini
A premier Big Ten matchup highlights the day. Illinois is looking to snap a two-game skid, while Indiana enters on back-to-back wins and playing with confidence. If the Hoosiers heat up offensively, they can keep this tight. Illinois likely gets the win at home, but the spread is generous.
Betting Pick: Indiana Hoosiers +10.5 over Illinois
Final Score Prediction: Illinois 79, Indiana 72
South Florida Bulls at Florida Atlantic Owls
An in-state clash with rivalry energy. South Florida took the first meeting, but FAU returns home motivated. Expect a spirited performance from the Owls, who should benefit from crowd momentum in a competitive contest.
Betting Pick: Florida Atlantic +4.5 over South Florida
Final Score Prediction: Florida Atlantic 88, South Florida 82
Bradley Braves at Southern Illinois Salukis
The Missouri Valley has been unpredictable all season, and this matchup fits that theme. Bradley already beat Southern Illinois once and matches up well stylistically. Expect another tight game that comes down to late possessions.
Betting Pick: Bradley +2.5 over Southern Illinois
Final Score Prediction: Bradley 72, Southern Illinois 71
Illinois State Redbirds at UIC Flames
A Land of Lincoln rivalry rematch. UIC won the first meeting in Normal, but Illinois State now gets a shot at payback. The Redbirds were preseason conference favorites and could show flashes of that ceiling here.
Betting Pick: Illinois State -1 over UIC
Final Score Prediction: Illinois State 74, UIC 68
Belmont Bruins at Murray State Racers
Murray State needs this one to stay alive in the MVC race. Belmont exploded for 103 points in the first meeting, but expect a defensive adjustment from the Racers at home. This feels like a narrow win for the host.
Betting Pick: Murray State -1.5 over Belmont
Final Score Prediction: Murray State 88, Belmont 86
