In the unpredictable world of college basketball, having accurate data to lean on can make the difference between winning and losing. Yesterday was a testament to our refined and proprietary PRO Projections.

Our system went undefeated on spreads with a 3-0 record, and our moneyline picks finished with a solid 2-1 mark. As we prepare for today's action, we're excited to share three more premium picks for major conference games.

These are all grade-A selections for the moneyline, identified through a meticulous comparison of our in-house numbers with current betting markets. What makes today even more exhilarating is the potential return on investment—you'd be looking at a whopping +5040 payoff at DraftKings if you parlayed all three picks outright to win.

It's a chance to capitalize on an undervalued contender, knowing that the market perceives a larger gap than what our data suggests.

Iowa against the spread is a B+ grade, while an Iowa moneyline bet is an A- strength.
