Best Bets for Wednesday December 3
Here are the five games we like most.
Queens NC Royals vs Gardner Webb Bulldogs
If you saw our Bottom 10 rankings this week, you know Gardner Webb made the list. They are struggling on both ends of the floor and have not shown signs of improvement. Queens should take advantage, push the pace, and control this one from the start.
Betting Pick: Queens Royals -12.5 over Gardner Webb Bulldogs
Final Score Prediction: Queens 90-70 over Gardner Webb
Indiana Hoosiers vs Minnesota Golden Gophers
We start Big Ten play with a matchup between two teams trending in different directions. Indiana has opened the season strong while Minnesota has stumbled. Conference games tend to reset the energy, though, and Minnesota should scrap enough to keep this close. Indiana wins, but not by much.
Betting Pick: Minnesota Golden Gophers +11 over Indiana Hoosiers
Final Score Prediction: Indiana 78-70 over Minnesota
Northwestern Wildcats vs Wisconsin Badgers
Wisconsin has been playing at a slightly quicker pace this season, but this number still feels too high for a Big Ten game. These matchups are usually physical and slow, and Northwestern should help keep the tempo grounded. Wisconsin wins, but the total stays under.
Betting Pick: Wisconsin Badgers and Northwestern Wildcats UNDER 155.5
Final Score Prediction: Wisconsin 80-72 over Northwestern
Mississippi State Bulldogs vs Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
This is a quietly interesting matchup. Georgia Tech has defended well but has struggled to generate offense. Mississippi State remains inconsistent as a shooting team. That combination points to a grind-it-out style with long possessions and limited scoring bursts.
Betting Pick: Mississippi State Bulldogs and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets UNDER 149.5
Final Score Prediction: Mississippi State 72-70 over Georgia Tech
NC State Wolfpack vs Auburn Tigers
Will Wade vs Steven Pearl should bring plenty of energy. Both teams play fast, but both are also streaky shooters. The moment feels big, and the defenses should rise to match it. With the number sitting high, the under makes the most sense.
Betting Pick: NC State Wolfpack and Auburn Tigers UNDER 166.5
Final Score Prediction: Auburn 88-78 over NC State
Enjoy the games tonight. Best of luck, and whether you are fading or following, keep up with all our picks at BetStamp throughout the season.
