I also like the No. 23 BYU Cougars to cover a sizeable spread against the No. 10 Iowa State Cyclones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my NCAA basketball predictions for March 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NCAA basketball predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"insights\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.com\/sportsbook\/sports\/basketball\/competitions\/10530\">Full college basketball betting markets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Parlay: BYU +11.5 | Vanderbilt -4.5 | Auburn ML (+265)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BYU +11.5 (-175):<\/strong> BYU is a 9.5-point underdog, and I&#8217;m perfectly content taking those points as a straight wager. But for this parlay, I&#8217;ll tack on a bit of extra cushion at a price which is still palatable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Cougars have won six straight games and are 10-2 since Jan. 21.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>BYU has covered a +11.5 spread in 26 of 29 games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Iowa State is just 4-6 ATS in its past 10 games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A whopping 47.8% of BYU&#8217;s field goal attempts come from 3-point range, which is the 17th-highest rate in NCAA Division I, per KenPom.com. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Iowa State has a strong defence, but it&#8217;s much better at defending the interior (41st in 2PT%) than the perimeter (137th in 3PT%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cougars are peaking in March, which is exactly what you want to do in college basketball. After seven consecutive Quad 1 losses earlier in the season, BYU has won four in a row (including vs. Kansas and at Arizona).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BartTorvik.com projects a four-point win for Iowa State on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other parlay predictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vanderbilt -4.5 (-182):<\/strong> When you&#8217;re betting on an Arkansas Razorbacks game, nothing matters more than location, location, location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a road team, the Razorbacks are 3-6 SU and ATS, with an average point margin of -6.6 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At home, Arkansas is 12-4 SU and 8-8 ATS, with an average point margin of +13.4 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last time out, Arkansas \u2014 a bubble team for March Madness \u2014 lost by 19 on the road against South Carolina, a squad with virtually no chance of reaching the NCAA tournament. Woof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now the Razorbacks are on the road again, this time facing a Vanderbilt Commodores team with home wins over No. 4 Tennessee, No. 15 Missouri and No. 19 Kentucky, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Commodores are 8-3 ATS as home favourites this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong>Auburn moneyline<\/strong><\/strong> (-200):<\/strong> Texas A&amp;M lost its fourth game in a row on Saturday, which caused a 10-spot drop in the Associated Press poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make matters worse, it now has to host top-ranked Auburn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tigers (27-2, 15-1 SEC) have locked up the top spot in the nation&#8217;s best conference. Johni Broome leads a group of six Auburn players who average 10-plus points, and the defence ranks No. 10 in effective field goal percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, and Auburn is 7-0 as a road favourite this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the Tigers&#8217; few weaknesses is that they&#8217;re foul-prone, but Texas A&amp;M only shoots 69.4% from the free-throw line (272nd in D-I). I expect another loss for the Aggies tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 3:15 p.m. ET 03\/04\/2025<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several ranked teams are in action in the world of college basketball tonight, and a few of them are featured in my +275 parlay.
