Because the common season nears its finish, many groups will ramp up their depth as they take one final shot at their regular-season convention title. This usually ends in thrilling video games, sudden finishes—and, sure, some nice betting alternatives.
Nevertheless, males’s video games should not at all times the most effective ones to wager on, which is why I’ve included a few ladies’s video games in at present’s record.
Michigan vs. Illinois
No. 15 Michigan enters this sport having received eight of its final 10 video games. Nevertheless, the Wolverines should not taking part in in addition to a document like that sometimes signifies. They went 1-2 in opposition to ranked groups, with the latest loss to Michigan State (75-62) slightly over every week in the past.
Since then, they’ve received two video games—49-46 against Nebraska and 84-82 in opposition to Rutgers. Neither sport ought to have been as shut because it was.
As for Illinois, the Illini are coming into this sport recent off a 20-point win over Iowa. However three losses preceded that win, and so they weren’t aggressive in any of them. They misplaced by 14 to Michigan State, by 21 to Wisconsin, and by 43 to Duke.
Michigan has reduce it shut in its final two video games however managed to win each. Illinois crushed Iowa (one of many worst groups within the Huge Ten) however was crushed within the three video games prior. Due to that, I don’t trust in Illinois placing up a battle in opposition to a motivated Wolverines workforce at residence.
The primary half will likely be aggressive—Illinois could actually have a lead on the break—however Michigan will draw back within the second half.

Finest Bets, NCAAW: Duke vs. Florida State
Duke suffered a crushing loss to then-No. 1 Notre Dame a few weeks in the past, adopted by a 70-62 loss to Louisville. However then the Blue Devils dominated Syracuse 80-49 and defeated No. 8 North Carolina by 15 factors (68-53) on Thursday.
The Blue Devils could have their work reduce out for them in opposition to a Florida State team riding a four-game win streak, which incorporates victories over No. 20 Georgia Tech and No. 3 Notre Dame in its final outing.
A part of me actually desires to get behind Florida State. Nevertheless, Duke’s protection is stable and can maintain FSU nicely beneath its season common (89.3 factors per sport). The Blue Devils’ offense (sixth-best within the ACC) could have no downside scoring in opposition to Florida State’s protection (second-to-last within the ACC).

Finest Bets, NCAAW: TCU vs. Baylor
As if ending the common season on a excessive notice was not motivation sufficient, TCU (27-3, 15-2) and Baylor (25-5, 15-2) are basically taking part in for the Huge 12 regular-season title at present. Each groups are coming in sizzling. TCU defeated Houston 91-56 on Wednesday for its sixth consecutive win.
With a 79-62 win over Kansas State on Monday, Baylor has received 9 in a row. Its final loss? It got here in opposition to TCU, 80-75, on Jan. 26. That win snapped Baylor’s 37-game win streak in opposition to TCU. The Horned Frogs have never beaten Baylor in Waco.
A targeted and decided Baylor workforce practically overcame a 22-point deficit with 5 minutes left within the third quarter. They didn’t, however they went on to win 9 in a row. Nevertheless, TCU received seven of its subsequent eight (dropping to Kansas State 59-50 on Feb. 5); each win was by double digits.
I wish to take Baylor’s moneyline. I actually do. However whereas the Bears have been taking part in nice basketball for the reason that loss, so has TCU. Will probably be a terrific sport, however I in the end suppose TCU will win ultimately.
