NCAAB Picks and Predictions
Our expert team has analyzed all the key stats, betting trends, and recent performances to provide the best college basketball picks today. Whether you're searching for free NCAAB picks or detailed betting insights, you're in the right place. Here are our in-depth picks for every game on December 19, 2024:
Alabama State Hornets vs. Norfolk State Spartans
Pick: Norfolk State Spartans -4 (-112)
Norfolk State aims to snap a three-game losing streak with their offensive firepower averaging 75.8 points per game. Despite recent struggles, their defense allows 69.9 points per game compared to Alabama State’s 82.2. With Amarr Knox leading Alabama State’s offense (23 points in their last outing), expect Norfolk to cover the spread through superior team depth and shooting efficiency.
North Alabama Lions vs. Charleston Southern Buccaneers
Pick: North Alabama Lions -9 (-112)
The Lions’ strong home performance (4-1 SU) and defensive discipline (31.9% opponent 3-point shooting) make them a top NCAAB pick today. Charleston Southern’s defensive inefficiencies (77.8 points allowed per game) will be exposed against North Alabama’s offensive leaders like Jacari Lane (15.7 PPG).
Georgia Bulldogs vs. Buffalo Bulls
Pick: Georgia Bulldogs -27.5 (-120)
Georgia boasts a dominant offense averaging 81.4 points per game, led by Asa Newell (16 PPG). With Buffalo allowing 78.2 points per game and struggling against top-tier teams, Georgia’s superior shooting (50.1% FG) ensures they will cover the large spread.
Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders vs. Lipscomb Bisons
Pick: Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders -1.5 (-110)
The Blue Raiders have won each of their last seven home games, supported by their efficient defense. Lipscomb’s reliance on perimeter shooting will be tested against Middle Tennessee’s perimeter defense, making this one of the best college basketball picks tonight.
Morehead State Eagles vs. UT Martin Skyhawks
Pick: UT Martin Skyhawks +5.5 (-105)
The Skyhawks’ offense, averaging 79.4 points per game, should keep this matchup close. Morehead State’s inconsistent defense (73.6 points allowed per game) gives UT Martin value against the spread.
Wyoming Cowboys vs. Bellarmine Knights
Pick: Wyoming Cowboys -14 (-110)
Wyoming’s home-court advantage and recent performance against weaker opponents make them a strong NCAAB betting pick today. Bellarmine’s inability to defend (86 points allowed in their last game) puts Wyoming in a favorable position to cover the spread.
Texas Longhorns vs. New Orleans Privateers
Pick: Texas Longhorns -34.5 (-110)
Texas is among the best college basketball teams today, scoring 84 points per game while allowing just 62.9. Against a New Orleans squad allowing 83.2 points per game, the Longhorns’ Tre Johnson (19.9 PPG) is poised for a standout performance.
Saint Mary’s Gaels vs. Merrimack Warriors
Pick: Saint Mary’s Gaels -20 (-112)
The Gaels’ elite defense (63.3 points allowed per game) and dominance at home make them one of the best NCAAB betting picks. Merrimack’s struggling offense (63.2 points per game) won’t keep up.
Grand Canyon Antelopes vs. Chicago State Cougars
Pick: Grand Canyon Antelopes -29.5 (-115)
Grand Canyon’s balanced attack (78.8 PPG) against Chicago State’s porous defense (83.9 points allowed per game) ensures a comfortable win. Look for Grand Canyon to cover the large spread easily.
