It’s been a rough couple of nights on the hardwood, but Tuesday offers a chance to bounce back with a fresh slate of intriguing matchups across the country. From Big Ten battles to a Sunshine State showdown, here’s a look at the best bets for November 11, 2025.

We started Monday at 0-4, but grabbed the last one to go 1-4 on the day. Our Miami/Stetson UNDER lost by ½ point. That’s back-to-back 1-4 days. Our Monday saw us lose -3.38 units. All of those are shown at BetStamp. We are now 20-20, -1.15 on the season.

Slowing the Tempo in Columbus

Appalachian State Mountaineers vs. Ohio State Buckeyes

Ohio State has been lighting up the scoreboard early this season, but Appalachian State’s deliberate pace should frustrate the Buckeyes. The Mountaineers don’t have the talent to pull the upset, yet their defense can limit the damage enough to keep it respectable.

Betting Pick: Appalachian State +25.5 over Ohio State

Prediction: Ohio State 80, Appalachian State 60

A Navy Challenge for the Nittany Lions

Navy Midshipmen vs. Penn State Nittany Lions

Penn State barely survived Fairfield in its opener, raising questions about how quickly the new roster will come together. Navy plays disciplined basketball and should make this one uncomfortable for the Lions. Expect Penn State to escape, but not by much.

Betting Pick: Navy +13 over Penn State

Prediction: Penn State 75, Navy 69

Defense Rules in the Sunshine State Rivalry

Florida State Seminoles vs. Florida Gators

This annual in-state clash should deliver plenty of energy, but don’t expect a full-blown track meet. Florida’s defense is on another level compared to the early-season opponents Florida State has seen. The Gators win, but the total stays under.

Betting Pick: Under 180.5

Prediction: Florida 90, Florida State 75

Red Raiders Ready to Test Illinois

Texas Tech Red Raiders vs. Illinois Fighting Illini

Illinois has cruised through its early schedule, but Texas Tech’s physical style will pose a much tougher test. JT Toppin and the Illini can score in bunches, yet the Red Raiders’ toughness and balance should keep them in this game, and maybe even steal it.

Betting Pick: Texas Tech +3.5 over Illinois

Prediction: Texas Tech 80, Illinois 78

Bluejays Take Flight in Spokane

Creighton Bluejays vs. Gonzaga Bulldogs

Creighton’s depth has been impressive, with Josh Dix and Owen Freeman emerging as key contributors. Gonzaga hasn’t faced a real challenge yet, and Creighton’s shooting and poise make them a dangerous underdog.

Betting Pick: Creighton +11 over Gonzaga

Prediction: Gonzaga 88, Creighton 80

Two days in a row under .500. Time to get back on the saddle with some wins. Best of luck with all your Tuesday bets. Be sure to follow them all at BetStamp all season long!
