NBA Best Bets for this Weekend – 2/24/2022
February 22, 2022
The SEC is known first and foremost as a football conference. Beyond that, it’s the best college football conference in the country. However, the SEC is about to take the mantle for Las Vegas Betting Odds College Basketball. Indeed, this football-crazed conference is now becoming the best league in college basketball. Two of the big reasons why are the Auburn Tigers and Kentucky Wildcats. Kentucky is “old money” as a traditional blue blood. Certainly, the Wildcats are the biggest brand in the sport. Auburn is “new money” as an emerging national power. Both have huge games on Saturday.

#4 Purdue Boilermakers at Michigan State Spartans, 2 p.m. ESPN
Purdue has struggled recently with the College Basketball Odds Lines. To illuminate, the Boilermakers have covered only two of their last eight games. But Purdue still leads the Big Ten Conference standings for the regular season championship. Also, Purdue has gone under the total in three of its last four games. Now the Boilermakers stand at 24-4 straight up, 13-13-2 against the spread, and 17-11 over the total. Purdue ranks 6th in the nation out of 350 teams for scoring offense.
Of great concern is that Michigan State has failed to cover five of its last six games. The Spartans stand at 18-8 straight up, 13-12-1 against the spread, and 13-12 over the total. Head coach Tom Izzo may be a Hall of Fame legend, but lately, he has voiced his frustration with his players.
Best Bet: Michigan State Spartans
#3 Auburn Tigers at #17 Tennessee Volunteers, 4 p.m. TV TBD
Auburn has cooled off for Betting odds on College Basketball with one cover in their last five games. Overall, the Tigers are 24-3 straight up, 18-9 against the spread, and 15-12 over the total. Auburn ranks 19th in the nation for scoring offense. The problem for Auburn is that they drew too much public attention after their huge win over Kentucky.
Tennessee has covered three of its last five games. The Volunteers have gone under the total in three of their most recent four outings. Tennessee stands at 19-7 straight up, 15-11 against the spread, and 11-15 under the total.
Best Bet: Tennessee Volunteers
#6 Kentucky Wildcats at #18 Arkansas Razorbacks, 2 p.m. CBS
Late on, Kentucky has covered four of its most recent seven games. Three of their previous five games went under the total. Kentucky stands at 22-5 straight up, 13-14 against the spread, and 13-14 under the total. The Wildcats are fighting with Auburn for the lead of the SEC as Arkansas is right behind. The Wildcats rank 9th in the nation for scoring offense.
Arkansas has paid in nine of its last ten games. The Razorbacks stand at 21-6 straight up and 17-10 against the spread.
Best Bet: Kentucky Wildcats

#15 Illinois Fighting Illini at Michigan Wolverines, 2 p.m. CBS
Illinois has caught too much public attention that has driven down its
Las Vegas Odds for College Basketball value. To illustrate, the Fighting Illini has covered only three of its most recent seven games. Illinois has gone under the total in five in its last eight tilts. As a result, the Fighting Illini now stands at 19-7 straight up, 12-14 against the spread, and 15-10 over the total. Kofi Cockburn is arguably the best player in the country. He leads Illinois with 21.7 points and 11.2 rebounds per contest.
Of course, Michigan made news for all of the wrong reasons last week in their loss at Wisconsin. The Juwan Howard head slap of a Wisconsin assistant and the near brawl that followed will take a long time to be lived down.
The Wolverines are having an equally difficult time with only three payouts in their last ten games on the hardwood. Michigan has a record of
14-11 straight up, 10-15 against the spread, and 15-10 over the total. Perhaps what was really upsetting Juwan Howard is that he no longer has predecessor John Beilein’s recruits.
Best Bet: Illinois Fighting Illini
