Third-year guard Tyrese Proctor&nbsp;is out tonight but his backup, freshman guard Isiah Evans, has dropped 16-plus points in three straight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Duke has won four of its last five games by 20-plus points with the outlier being an 80-62 victory over Virginia at John Paul Jones Arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Blue Devils are 9-6 ATS as a home favourite this year winning by an average of 25.4 points. FSU has dropped seven of its last 10 games and doesn&#8217;t stand a chance in this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other parlay predictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Florida -6.5 (-175):<\/strong> Florida has been even better as a home favourite, boasting a 10-4 ATS record according to Team Rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s won those games by an average of 24.5 points and has covered this spread in five straight games at the O&#8217;Dome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The No. 12 Aggies are no slouch but ride a nasty three-game losing streak into this game, dropping a pair of contests at home to the Tennessee Volunteers and Vanderbilt Commodores. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As mentioned earlier, Florida is stout on both ends of the court. A&amp;M relies mainly on its defence and ranks 312th in effective FG%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At home, the Aggies could maybe turn this into a rock fight. But on the road, I can&#8217;t see it happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong><strong>Arizona\/Iowa State over 149.5 points <\/strong><\/strong>(-143):<\/strong> Finally, I want to take the over in a game between two strong offences that play fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Arizona: 17th in adjusted offensive efficiency and 51st in tempo (70.2).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Iowa State: 23rd in adjusted offensive efficiency and 99th in tempo (68.9).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tempo is a stat which logs how many possessions a team gets per 40 minutes, and while 51 and 99 might not seem high, keep in mind there are 364 NCAA Division I teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Four of Arizona&#8217;s last five games have cleared this total with the outlier landing on exactly 149 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When these teams met on Jan. 27, the Wildcats won an 86-75 barnburner in Arizona. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Picks made at 1:45 p.m. ET 03\/01\/2025<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s officially March, so let&#8217;s dial up a parlay for Saturday&#8217;s loaded NCAA basketball slate.
