One-Sided Encounter Expected by the Books

It’s a tall order for Houston Christian to win this college game and that is reflected in the fact that many sportsbooks are not offering the Moneyline. However, the spread provides an opportunity to take a view on which team will perform best.

The spread is 8.5 and the total points line is currently 143.5. The advantage of the Totals is that you only have to choose from one of two options. Those expecting a low total can back Under 143.5 at -105.

There are plenty of team props and game lines available for college basketball wagering, and we recommend checking out the top sportsbooks to find the bet that aligns with your prediction for the game.

Betting Lines & Odds
