SBR’s expert cappers are authorities in the college game and their NCAAB predictions, complete with the best college basketball picks, are actively craved by hoops enthusiasts across the country.
While the NBA draws fans from around the globe, the NCAAB is a uniquely North American experience. The NCAAB just like the NBA has been around for years, but it’s only been in the last two decades that men’s college basketball has brought major interest in sports betting circles, and among sports betting sites and betting apps.
College basketball today has developed into one of the most competitive sports leagues in North America and it transcends genders with both NCAAB and Women's NCAAB attracting endorsements and promotions, as well as fanfare. Indeed, in some parts of the country, NCAAB games are a bigger deal than NBA games and the season-ending March Madness are fast-becoming a national pastime, represented by the most in-demand NCAAB picks today.

Guaranteed college basketball picks, commonly referred to as guaranteed winners or sure bets, don’t exist.

College Basketball Betting Predictions
The sheer volume of NCAAB games on the schedule often means that sportsbooks can’t always set betting lines correctly on every game. Our team of basketball savants know how to evaluate games to find value in order to beat the bookies and that’s why our college previews, predictions and NCAAB picks are sought-after.
The highest level of intercollegiate athletics is the NCAA Division I (D-I) in the United States. D-I schools. By the last count, there are 350 schools that are full members of 32 Division I basketball conferences, plus seven more that are in transition from NCAA Division II and are members of D-I conferences. Alaska today remains the only U.S. state without a D-I school.
College Basketball Regular Season 2024-25
The College Basketball season starts on Monday, Nov. 4, and it’s expected to run through early April, when the National Championship takes place. The league looked toward college football to see how the NCAAF season unfolded for decisions about how to move forward with both Men’s and Women’s college basketball seasons.
Free College Basketball Picks ATS
College basketball picks against the spread are among THE most popular types of bets. In a league where the gap in quality, skill and talent level of teams varies significantly from college to college, spread betting is a great leveler that offers attractive angles for profit on both sides of the coin.
Betting point spreads isn’t about predicting the winner of a basketball game, it’s about picking the team that will cover the point spread. This becomes a great wager to consider in lopsided matchups that feature a really good team taking on a lesser team because it allows bettors to bank on underdogs to cover the spread with more confidence than they would have betting the straight up upset. Equally, it allows bettors to back favorites to cover the spread at more reasonable odds than they would find betting on the win in moneyline betting markets.
College Basketball Picks Moneyline
The most straightforward of any bets on sports is the moneyline bet, also known as straight up betting. In a nutshell, bettors pick the winner of a game. However, moneyline betting can be exhilarating when betting on the upset in NCAAB basketball. Correctly predicting an underdog to win a game usually sees bettors handsomely rewarded. In fact, that’s one of the main underlying appeals of moneyline betting.
College Basketball Tonight
If you’re looking for college basketball picks and NCAAB player props tonight, you’re in luck. SBR’s team of experts is across NCAAB action daily, offering previews and predictions on marquee matchups as well as hidden gems and everything in-between. More often than not, these will come at a premium elsewhere but not at SBR. Bookmark SBR Picks and/or SBR’s NCAA Basketball page and you’ll never be out of the loop.
