Top NCAAB Betting Matchups of the Week – November 13th

Top Contenders

Duke

  • College Basketball Championship Odds: 5/1
The Blue Devils (2-0 SU, 1-0 ATS) throttled overmatched Elon 97-68 in their opener and equally overmatched Utah Valley State in game 2, 99-69 to hit the new week unblemished. Possible No. 1 overall pick Marvin Bagley III is averaging team-highs in scoring (24.5 points per game), rebounding (10.0 RPG) and field-goal percentage (65.7%) heading into Week 2.

Michigan State

  • College Basketball Championship Odds: 11/2
Michigan State won their opener over North Florida 98-66 as a 31-point home favorite and remain in second place in the college hoops futures odds to win the 2018 national championship. The Spartans will battle top-ranked Duke on Tuesday night live from the United Center in Chicago. Sophomore All-American forward Miles Bridges scored a team-high 20 points while adding 10 rebounds and three blocked shots. Nick Ward chipped in 16 points while going 6-for-6 from the field despite playing just 16 minutes. 6’11” freshman McDonald’s All-American, Jaren Jackson Jr., also had a successful debut for the Spartans with 13 points, 13 boards, four blocked shots, three assists and two steals.

Arizona

  • College Basketball Championship Odds: 8/1
The Wildcats are off to a perfect 2-0 start, even if they haven’t covered the chalk yet (0-1-1 ATS). Small forward Allonzo Trier is averaging a blistering 31.0 points per game so far while big man DeAndre Ayton is averaging 12.5 boards and 2.5 blocks.

Kentucky

College Basketball Championship Odds: 10/1 John Calipari’s young squad is off to a perfect 2-0 start. 6-5 shooting guard Hamidou Diallo is looking fantastic so far and shot 8-for-16 from the field in the regular season opener.

North Carolina

  • College Basketball Championship Odds: 12/1
North Carolina won their opener against Northern Iowa with forward Luke Maye scoring a game-high 26 points on 11 of 16 shooting from the field and 2 of 3 from beyond the arc. Two other players reached double figures for Roy Williams’ squad. The College Basketball Championship Odds for North Carolina are not very good.

Kansas

  • College Basketball Championship Odds: 16/1
Kansas kicked off the regular season Friday night at Allen Fieldhouse by blowing Tennessee State out of the water in its 92-56 win as a 27-point home favorite. Six Jayhawks players scored in double figures led by junior wing Lagerald Vick, who drained 8-of-12 attempts from the field and 4-of-7 from 3-point distance while finishing with 23 points, five rebounds, and three assists. Senior guard Devonte’ Graham had a solid all-around game with 10 points, 12 assists, seven boards and three steals.

Missouri

  • College Basketball Championship Odds: 16/1
Missouri is off to a 2-0 start but the big story surrounding the Tigers is the hip injury to McDonald’s All-American Michael Porter Jr., who played just two minutes in Friday’s opener against Iowa State because of the injury and sat out Monday’s game against Wagner. Missouri coach Cuonzo Martin said after Friday’s game that Porter approached him after he submitted the starting lineup to the official scorer and said that his leg “didn’t feel right.” Martin said he removed Porter at the first opportunity because “his safety and his health was most important. Porter scored two points in his brief appearance in the Tigers’ 74-59 season-opening victory. Porter’s brother Jontay, a five-star recruit in his own right, has looked fantastic and scored 11 points on 5-of-8 shooting, grabbed a team-high eight rebounds and recorded four assists against Wagner.

Wichita State

  • College Basketball Championship Odds: 16/1
The Shockers (2-0 SU, 1-0 ATS) beat the hell out of UMKC in their opener 109-57 and followed that up with an 81-63 win over Charleston. 6-8 senior center Shaquille Morris is averaging team highs in scoring (17.0 ppg), field goal shooting percentage (72.2%), steals (1.5 per) and blocks (3.0 peer).

Louisville

  • College Basketball Championship Odds: 20/1
Despite the fact that the Cardinals are off to a 1-0 start at the time of this writing, does anyone really expect them to contend for much of anything by the midway point of the season? I mean, really, Louisville was absolutely rocked by a program shifting federal investigation debacle that caused the Cards to part ways with longtime head coach Rick Pitino. I’m not expecting anything out of Louisville this season, other than some possible jail time for somebody important, and neither should you!

Villanova

  • College Basketball Championship Odds: 20/1
The Wildcats smacked Columbia around in their opener 75-60 as four players scored in double figures for Jay Wright and the Cats limited the Lions to just 41.8 percent shooting from the field. McDonald’s All-American redshirt freshman Omari Spellman had 11 points and 11 rebounds in his debut after academically ineligible last season.
