College Basketball Odds Sunday: Picks for Colgate vs American, Tulane vs UAB
Both of our featured games tip off at 2 p.m. ET, offering a perfect college hoops Sunday afternoon.
First up is the Patriot League semifinal clash between American and Colgate. According to the betting market, American is favored by 1.5 points.
However, our experts see a more significant edge for American, as our PRO Projections rate them at -4 on the spread. This disparity indicates a stronger advantage than the current odds suggest and warrants an additional look for the favorites to clear the moneyline. Furthermore, with a moneyline price sitting at -130, we find great value, given our fair price assessment at -168. This mismatch represents a solid betting opportunity for savvy bettors on the Eagles.
In another intriguing matchup, Tulane faces UAB in conference play as the underdog. The current line lists UAB as 3.5-point favorites, but our PRO Projections suggest this line is inflated. We see this contest as much closer, with UAB only slight favorites at -1.5. Consequently, Tulane emerges as our best underdog pick, particularly appealing on the moneyline, which our experts evaluate essentially as a toss-up.
