WE WILL END FEBRUARY WITH BEST BET WINS. LET'S RIDE.

Virginia @ Duke(-10.5)

DK -110

FD -110

The Hoos are a really good team. Issue is the Blue Devils are a buzz saw. Duke is also undefeated at Cameron Indoor and Virginia has been incredibly shaky on the road to begin with. Needing OT to beat Notre Dame and only beating BC by 2 possessions does not inspire confidence. The Blue Devils are going to win by 15+ in all likelihood.

Texas Tech @ Iowa State(-9.5)

DK -120 FD -120

This game would've been awesome with JT Toppin participating. Unfortunately he is not playing and Iowa State is a staggering 15-0 at home. I think that trend continues for the Cyclones.

Kansas @ Arizona UNDER 148.5

DK -108

FD -108

Both teams play great defense and at a slow pace. 148.5 is simply too high given that both teams normally live in the low 70s and low 80s respectively. It's also the number 10 and number 3 defense by KenPom respectively. I expect a game in the high 60s at the most.

Villanova @ St. John's(-7.5)

DK -102

FD -102

Nova's destiny in 2026 is to be the whipping boy for the two good Big East teams coming off bad losses. this time the Johnnies got throttled by UConn and are playing host to a team they already put 86 on while playing on the road. Kevin Willard is doing a good job rebuilding Nova, but he's just not there quite yet and I expect them to fold again.
