You might not get rich backing Wisconsin at -625. However, the sportsbooks’ betting odds imply a 86% chance of winning this college game. The market suggests that Minnesota are least likely to win at +440.
The spread currently stands at 9.5 and the total points line is 146.5. The advantage of the Totals is that you only have to choose from one of two options. The Over 146.5 selection is available to back at -115.
You’ll find a broad selection of team props and game lines for most college contests, with the best basketball betting sites offering plenty of options. Be sure to review both the pre-game and in-game markets before placing your bets.
The favorite to score most points is Nick Boyd. You can get -105 that he scores Over 19.5 points or -125 that he goes Under.
Instead of focusing on the overall outcome, some bettors prefer to look at the college basketball micro betting lines. As the name suggests, it means placing short-term in-game wagers and this might include Next Field Goal, with the options being for a two-pointer or a three-pointer.
